Shocking! How dare the BBC include a migrant on a programme devoted to the subject of immigration! Will no one think about the feelings of our poor right wing snowflakes?

Walking past Major’s Corner in Ipswich today, I noticed some more phone boxes have gone.

More festive Jim Aparo The Outsiders art

These were purchased from @theunrealitystore.bsky.social where I do buy a cheap Christmas comic if I see one

I’m off down the bookies to put money on Putin winning FIFA’s ‘Peace Prize’ next year.

You’ll have to change your bio now, as it’s clearly not true you’re not invited to anything

I think I’ve now got all of the Davis issues

So it was a different colouring process. I knew they were different paper stock, I didn’t really realise the colouring wasn’t basically the same for both

Ah, that makes sense

It was recoloured for the reprint for some reason

In 1985 in The Outsiders there was a take on Dickens’s A Christmas Carol by Mike Barr & Jim Aparo. (Pics 1+2)
For some reason DC reprinted it a year later, possibly they realised it was the 100 year anniversary of Dickens’ story first appearing and thought it worth repeating

Superhero comics rather than dvds, not that I think this should invalidate anyone’s opinion.
I have noticed though that Tomlinson went to the University of Kent, and guess which far right anti-immigrant activist use to be a tutor there?

Frank Dobson’s 1931 poster for Shell petrol, with strategically placed shadow of a cloud (well I think that’s what it is)

I have a question…
This fine looking book publishes a 1960s newspaper strip from The Sunday Express.
They have surprisingly scanned it from the original artwork from the Express archives. I’m more use to hearing stories of artwork destroyed, not saved.
So is there more artwork in newspaper archives?

I suppose it could be worse if they have heard of you:
“Oh, is your father in law with you…?” [head frantically looking around]

I’ve never seen it, so it probably doesn’t even exist

A bleak and chilly scene of a flat landscape under a hard frost as a pale sun behind thin cloud gives the sky a brown tinge

Feels like it could be the local Suffolk countryside

Finally, the Smurf film we all want to see

For the record: I’ve never seen any of the Die Hard films.

Two annuals kids may have found under the Christmas tree 50 years ago

The tree is up, next to the air frier as is traditional

I really loved the comic book about Tony Hancock.

I only ever watched the first season because seemingly everyone said the second was terrible. Are you saying it’s worth a look?

“But Reuben, that’s the 1st issue you senile old fool!”
Wrong,abusive youngster!
The mag ran in reverse as a countdown. Ex-Melody Maker staff Everett True & Steve Gullick claimed by the time of the final issue they would of brought down the music industry
