A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL A1 and DEADLINE, two landmark UK comic book publications ARE BACK! The heart of UK counterculture returns to print.

Just lent my support to the A1 Deadline Kickstarter which ends in about 13 hours. Nice to back an anthology run by people who can be trusted! And new work from those fucked over by Frazer Brown!

Northern Lights over Harrogate for Thought Bubble? Might drag some people away from the loos…

I would be very interested but there’s no digital option in the rewards.

I see this Secret Wars behind the scenes book on Kickstarter and wonder if it’ll finally have his apology/explanation for just not bothering with the Phoenix Egg shit he was supposed to handle...

Ah, we’re back to late-stage Bendis Avengers again?

Phew! I’ll swing by nice and early then! Cheers!

I love the idea of it being a podcast. I drifted from the company because I just couldn’t attend the meetings and always felt like I too far behind to catch up and participate. Can’t wait for this!

@paulcornell.bsky.social will you have copies of your Avengers in the 70s book at Thought Bubble? Struggling to find a way to get hold of a copy before I travel to Harrogate!

One good thing about spending a few days at my dad’s house to visit mum, while he’s not here, is that I have full and unfettered access to the wood burner in the living room.

Accidentally got things so hot that I was in a t-shirt and sweating like mad at 9pm last night…

It's always fun checking my browser history after a weekend at The Room Where It Happens. For several hours each night, it's nothing but 'title of song + lyrics', with various levels of misspelling based on drunkenness or manic need to job my memory...

I have worn ribbons at Gallifrey One proclaiming Looms to be the one true method of Time Lord... uh... recreation. Now, you know two people!

Well, technically true... more pints than mimosas though!

Happy Walking Circulatory System In The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

Well.

I’m switching sides.

Steve 4 Frazer from here on out!

One last time…

We have an AI soundtracked ad for a gym chain here in Belgium, and it sound astonishingly poor. Like, not technically fit for broadcast levels of poor. And no-one can fix it because it’s an impression of an advert, not a master mixed set of individual tracks…

Add shots for ‘drill’, ‘down’, and ‘into’ and you could very well be unconscious before a round is scored…

Lovely afternoon catching up with Gally pal @pickledintime.bsky.social in London. Managed to punch through a lot of exhaustion to make it…

Loved it, been chatting about it in the pub. They didn’t know anything beyond ‘Greek myth’ and ‘a Girls Aloud’ so the musical style and everything really took them by surprise. They absolutely loved the moment where the stage changed during Wait For Me.

Me. Definitely me. As soon as I’ve recovered from this weekend.

Me.

It is SO good, I caught it a few weeks into its run and loved it. Layton absolutely deserved his Olivier!

Claudia Winkleman, a white lady standing outside a castle with flaming braziers by her. She's got a very heavy fringe and long dark hair that flows into her black cape, and her legs are sticking out below. She does indeed look like a cunty triangle.

I'm still not over @beardynoise.bsky.social describing Claudia Winkleman in The Traitors as 'a cunty triangle' and then coming home to watch it and immediately seeing this.

I’m super pleased that my non-theatre friend Sean, who can over to London from Gent in the car with me yesterday, has taken a punt on seeing Hadestown, based mostly on my excited comment about it since seeing it last June. He’s currently in the middle of Act I…

Awww, and you just started popping up for me as a suggested friend…

Post you from a different era.

It’s me, before the beard!

Aaaaaah, I didn’t realise there was a tour. I hope you both have a great time, it’s a show I’ve got a lot of love for.

This time, it’s for an Andy Zaltzman WIP, making it the second time this year that my friend Sean and I have travelled from Belgium to London to see the Zaltz. Technically it’s the same show - Andy is working new material for his Zaltzgeist tour extension.

Anyway, all that shit aside, I’m in London for the weekend.
Currently on a bus to Angel for a return visit to the Bill Murray. 6pm, Friday night, former Taskmaster contestant, just like three weeks ago.
