Every now and then when I get to hang out with comics artist pals, the conversation will inevitably turn to MIKE MIGNOLA, SERIOUSLY, HOW???

OOOOH. Michael’s Reach for the Stars is a fantastic read, so very much looking forward to this.

A little bit in love with with this Maurice Sendak anecdote:

I wrote a bit about this for @slightlyfoxed.bsky.social (though it's mostly paywalled, sorry). About how meaningful the act of eating is for Sendak ("well eat you up, we love you so!"). foxedquarterly.com/richard-smyt...

A little bit in love with with this Maurice Sendak anecdote:

I would love to see an exhibition of crap art by great artists – shoddy attempts at feet, wonky horses, perspectives gone awry, abandoned noses, the works.

Call out to journalist friends. The threat from AI both on the environment, on certain core values of culture and on the livelihoods or ourselves and our colleagues is extremely real. So FOR FUCK’S SAKE DON’T USE IT TO POST CUTE LITTLE CARICATURES OF YOURSELVES.

Always a little surprised when I read about new Facebook features – Facebook still exists?! Are people still on there? I kind of filed it along with other noughties relics like MySpace and Friends Reunited.

but why

Hate how very plausible this is. This whole nonsense started with demands for a birth certificate, it’s going to end with a nonexistent death certificate.

God I love this. A real race against time. What’s left of the budget counting down in the corner till it gets to $1 just before the big finale.

BRUTAL DELUXE

Prince of Persia was an experiment in rotoscoping. It put lifelike animation on '80s home computers. Designer Jordan Mechner converted VHS tapes and movie footage into pixels -- and went way beyond the tech of his time. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-the-li...

THIS STANDS

Attempting to introduce the child to Buster Keaton only to find that the only version of The General on MUBI or Amazon is a horrible colourised version with added sound effects. BLEUGH.

Fincher a massively superior filmmaker to Tarantino, so curious to see how this turns out.

I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007) is such a random pile of actors. Pfeiffer, Rudd, Saoirse Ronan, Jon Lovitz, Graham Norton, David Mitchell … Olivia Colman is basically an extra. Did I dream this movie?

Another one for The Fall’s rock family tree

Ah, I see what they did there..!

V interesting piece, esp for readers in the UK where we don’t have the same “mass market”/“trade paperback” distinction. Though I suppose the gradual move here for all genres to now appear in larger B-format paperbacks, initially the preserve of “literary fiction”, is similar.

LEGO Project Hail Mary!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Waterstones York absolutely CRUSHING the game of Pagans Windows (which I just invented).

Let's briefly distract ourselves from it all by revisiting the late 1970s when Marvel published an original Spider-Man/Hulk team-up story on a... roll of toilet paper. As far as I am aware this has never been reprinted. My brother got a roll of this as a birthday present(!) and I was so jealous.
