Really thrilled (and actually quite gobsmacked!) to be recognised in this way!

It's funny how people underestimate the price of computers in the late 70s to early 90s because they've become so cheap today.

For example a 48K Apple II with two disk drives, a monitor and a few knick-knacks was around $3,000 in 1978; which is close to $15,000 today.

From a glass negative from my collection. With a lot of the photos in my collection I love them not so much for the specific composition but simply the wonderful fact that someone loved this little cat enough to create this negative - a significant task - and then carefully store it for decades. ❤️

Special Saturday message from Francie:

A year ago today I posted on twitter that I was taking a break from the site... and then never went back.

For me, life is much better without it. I didn't realize how much the constant anger and drama were affecting me until I was free of it. Thank you @bsky.app for this lovely place to restart. ☺️

Welcome

4 panel comic: P1: Begins with a caption box. "There's a scene in Twin Peaks - The Return where David Lynch --as Gordon Cole-- utters the words: Beneath, is a caricatured drawing of Gordon Cole saying "FIX THEIR HEARTS, OR DIE" P2: Another caption. "Those words have been going through my head on repeat today" Beneath, a silhouette of my head forms in negative space formed in a pink-red background. Within the head are multiples of the phrase spoken by Cole. P3: A massive "FIX THEIR HEARTS OR DIE" dominates the panel, formed, again, in the negative space. P4: Sandwiched between two caption boxes --one top, one bottom-- is the image of a man yelling with unbridled rage. The top caption reads "so many people need to hear those words with their whole person--" The bottom finishes with "--however, maybe those people are already lost to us"

fix their hearts or die

Can you repost this little Triscuit? She needs a home.

Ahaha

Head and shoulders portrait of a robin looking straight at my camera, lovely bright beady eyes, red breast, shiny bill and not a feather out of place.

Met this little fella yesterday. He was disappointed I had no crumbs.*

It's not hard writing action scenes or dialogue or confessions of love. What's truly hard is writing about someone drawing the blinds (WHAT EVEN ARE THE LITTLE STRINGS YOU PULL CALLED??) or describing mundane movements that you do a thousand times but never ever put into words.

My old man moment is seeing people on a gaming forum complaining about games having a 60fps cap.

Having grown up during the early days of 3D gaming, a steady 60fps is a dream for me.

PS5 was released four whole years ago now, where the hell is the cost reduced, streamlined, small-footprint version of that?

Welcome to November folks

I have something special for yoy

As is always the case when I post a comic like this, it is attracting some Very, Very Normal comments over on Facebook.

Handy, though, as it lets me know who I don't want reading my comics any more.

Great football match today

The cover of Gary Indiana’s novel Do Everything in the Dark, which features a black-and-white image of hands with painted, manicured nails touching a light bulb. The image, and maybe the whole design, is by Barbara Kruger.

Just heard that Gary Indiana died. His 2003 novel Do Everything in the Dark is scabrous (in all that word’s senses), biting, funny, & moving.

It’s one of the best novels of this century. When it was remaindered I bought a handful of copies so I could send guests home with them if we talked books.

The Night Guest Hildur Knútsdóttir's The Night Guest is an eerie and ensnaring story set in contemporary Reykjavík that’s sure to keep you awake at night.Iðunn is in y...

Gentle reminder that if you are looking for something chilling to read this spooky season, my little pink book might be just the thing you are looking for!
