1. Goodness..! it's exactly TWENTY YEARS since 'Never the Bride' was published by Headline. In some ways it's my most popular book, and Brenda and Effie and The Brenda and Effie Mysteries are the things that i get asked about the most.

Rabidly anglophiliac man (he/him) born in the wrong place (Spain) and living in the wrong time (post-DVDs/post-Brexit). About to stop procrastinating since 2007...
Been thinking about the Norman Conquest? Who hasn't with all the hoo-ha about the Bayeux Tapestry. George Morrow had his thoughts in this PUNCH cartoon from 1926: 'Duke William of Normandy discovers an example of Saxon mural decoration' #Saxons #AngloSaxons #WilliamtheConqueror #history
To be honest, the most shocking thing about the Reform sting is that Farage met up with his wealthy American donor in Clacton. Someone should alert the media.
Frankly amazed that despite wall-to-wall Bayeux Tapestry coverage nobody has mentioned the Playmobil version I made back in 2016.
World, meet Gerald. He lives in a rockpool and he’s got some very important life lessons to share with you.

"We live in a complainant society", complained Nigel Farage. #BBCWATO
A note re Warren Ellis: I've seen the narrative floating around that the process of transformative justice between Warren and SoManyOfUs fell apart for reasons outside of Warren's control, sometimes with an implication that these reasons were on the side of SMOU. This is not true.

Starting today, I'm running my old FEZ strips as a webcomic, new updates every week for the foreseeable (i.e. until they run out). I've coloured them and everything! Find them at fez.webcomic.studio
One of the trains at this station is cancelled due to the “shortage” of drivers and sorry but why do we care how tall the drivers are? Let short kings (and queens) drive the trains?
Reginald Brill had an indefatigable interest in the everyday lives of people, and they're often captured off-guard as in this work of an orange seller at Sudbury, Suffolk from around the mid-1950s.
Any plans for the weekend? How about reading almost HALF A MILLION words of quality fiction for LESS THAN A POUND? Six novels from my award-winning and bestselling Skelfs series here: geni.us/ftGmWi @orendabooks.bsky.social
Can't get over this EVIL. This should provoke most justly God's wrath and indignation. Someone put this together for an audience of utter cunts. I think we should disagree with Meta. I think there should be a review. I think this shit should be hosed off Facebook, and fucking Facebook after it.

Spotted on the cycle path on my way home thid morning: someone whose door opens directly onto the pavement, creating a garden out of virtually nothing. Beaitiful.

This is the stuff I love adding to pages in Dan Dare: First Contact. They are things that aren't specifically asked for in @alexdecampi.bsky.social's script but help build in the world and may have only been mentioned in passing dialogue or in notes to me. So here are the archeologists of Mars.
There's a special corner of hell for people who send us AI slop emails offering "marketing services" addressed to creators who have passed away.
Not nearly enough people know Tim Curry played the actual William Shakespeare in a superlative, six hour long, angrily gay, John Mortimer-scripted biography that looks a bit shit because it was shot on video. What an actor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZiJ...

Reminder that Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 is a film about three women taking over an office and introducing free childcare, paid vacation, and flexible hours, resulting in a 20% increase in productivity.
It’s World Dog Day, so here are a few of our favourite certified good bois from the collection 🐶 From the 1300s to the 1800s, every good dog deserved a portrait. We’re inclined to agree.
