I’m so very sorry. Especially because of your more personal connection. We’re all out here hurting, too.

Really it was more of a discussion of the roots of the “rural English Pan” as a bit of a Christ figure and origin of the Neopagan God.

24.05.2024 23:12 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My quite old copy has the Marc Simont ones and I do find them charming, especially the Golux who looks like Michael Palin to me. Wahey, I just looked that version up on Amazon and guess whose name is on the reprinted cover with an introduction? @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com strikes again!

21.05.2024 18:37 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Hey I didn’t know Searle illustrated an edition of The 13 Clocks! I have to find that version. I wanna see his take on the “indescribable hat”.
21.05.2024 18:22 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Thank you! I have a little fund raising group of that name set up on Discord, as a way of helping towards some of Michael Sheen’s favorite charities. We’re just finished with the Homeless World Cup and soon to start Thrive Women’s Aid . discord.gg/fBZkA3S5

21.05.2024 17:18 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0That’s interesting, I always read “nonplussed” as “brought to a stand”, such as through irony or astonishment, or other inability to react, in every usage. I learned all my language from context in books so no idea why I never distinguished between that and usage meaning “to refrain from reacting”.
21.05.2024 17:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Ha!
17.05.2024 23:34 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Ugh. And “art books” that consist of images clearly stolen from the web, often so fuzzy they show no markmaking at all and are of zero value for study. I had some money go up in smoke trying to find a book of Pierre-Paul Prud’hon drawings, and finally had to invest in an old book to get real prints.
