I will be signing at The ARC festival this Sunday from 1-2pm at the @goshcomics.bsky.social sky.social table. @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social al is an exciting, new, free comics festival in London on the 11th and 12th of July. Come along! www.arc-london.uk

Title: At the book festival

"No, this isn't the literary fiction tent, It's the self-help marquee. You need to go back to the cookbook pagoda, turn to face the popular science teepee and it'll be on your left, between the celebrity memoir gazebo and the military history wigwam."

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: The Cyclops discusses his part in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'

Panel 1.
The cyclops wanders across his island, talking to the audience
"Most directors these days just use computers, so I appreciate that chris sailed the entire crew to a mythical island to shoot my scenes on film."

Panel 2.
He continues as he climbs the hill.
"I wasn't going to do it: The young people are all so down on cannibalism. But I called up Homer and he said "Are you an idiot?This is Hollywood money, not poetry royalties!"

Panel 3.
He sits on a rock and looks out to sea.
"So I got to meet Matt Damon, which was cool."

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 6/19 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Man, I have been trying for the last month to pull ahead on the story to give us a bit of wiggle room for when we travel this summer–and I am failing miserably. Too many "real world" things happening with "real people".

Digital illustration of a Honey Badger, an ill-tempered beastie, mostly brownish black except for the top of its head and back which are white. It has big front claws and is making a big rawr face. Badger is standing on what looks like a cube that has been cut out of the earth. The top is grass and two side faces of the dirt and clay cube showing outward are carved into letters spelling ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 2mo ago

There. Now I can go back to my real work.

A page from an imaginary script of the show CUSHING: reading

"Dr Frankenstein BACKHANDS Cushing, sends him tumbling over the table, As he scrambles to his feet he shouts to Catherine:
CUSHING: OUT! Ge tthe others out!
Catherine bolts, Dr, Frankenstein moves to follow, but Cushing SMASHES a lantern across his skull. The mad doctor, now empowered with the full strength of the Prometheus serum, whirls, grabs Cushing by the throat, and lifts him clean off his feet.
DR. FRANKENSTEIN: Now you DIE! Z eirony is delicious, is it not, FALSE FRANKENSTEIN?!
Cushing hammers at Dr. Frankenstein's wrist, but can't break his rion grip. The flames around them rise higher --

Dr. Frankenstein suddenly chokes, He spit sblood once, then twice, the second time a great GOUT of blood spilling down onto his chest. He releases Cushing and falls heavily to the floor
REVEAL CHRISTOPHER LEE
Standing behind the doctor with a long, bloody knife. Cushing rubs his neck, claps Lee on the shoulder.
CUSHING: Nice timing.
CHRISTOPHER LEE: (arches an eyebrow) Not the first time I've used a knife to kill a German, old boy.

obsessed with thomas. happy pride 🪿🌈✨

tumblr post with a screenshot of an article titled “Blind Bisexual Goose Named Thomas Who
Spent Six Years in a Love Triangle With Two Swans And Helped Raise 68 Babies Dies at The Ripe Old Age Of 40”

subheading: He's a bit much

MAY 29, 2024

RIP to the legend

tumblr post continues

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
(link to Thomas’ wikipedia article)

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

• He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
• Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
• Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
• When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
• Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
•Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
• As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
• His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
• Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper.
He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
• Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

GOLD TEETH has launched! It's a piratical TTRPG set in a cursed version of the Age of Sail, with 350 pages of briny phantasmagoria, colonial terror and nauseating seafood. It's part Master & Commander, part Blackadder, left to ripen in the sun like a beached porpoise. teethrpg.itch.io/gold-teeth

If you're ever wondering why sidewalks aren't a thing everywhere here. Sidewalks are the responsibility of the homeowner to have installed and maintain, each sidewalk tile costs between $100 and $800 per tile and must be professionally installed.
