My dad had this and I was obsessed with the cover despite the fact that it completely terrified me.

“Disappointing?” Texis was a career highlight in my opinion.

“I don’t like seaweed,” my wife said.

“Nor i,” I responded.

God bless Janey and her Trump is a Cunt sign

Can all the papers run this as their cover tomorrow like they did the AI thing?

You might need to Squeeze a few more details in for some people

I can’t believe they let the gun salesman in the percussion band, just because he had a glock n’ spiel.

My birthday is the last day of January and I feel like I’ve aged a hundred years since the last one.

In an act of almost poetic bookending, the week that began with finding cat vomit on my office chair at 9:00 on Monday ended with finding cat vomit on the yoga mat at 6:00 on Friday.

Me, ashen-faced and downcast, thirty-five minutes into my YouTube apology video:
“…and so, that is why I’m never gonna dance again. Guilty feet ain’t got no rhythm. Though it’s easy to pretend, I know you’re not a fool

Years ago my daughter asked why my wife and I say “blurst” instead of “worst” sometimes, and I had to explain The Simpsons, the infinite monkey theorem, and A Tale of Two Cities to do so. Now she says she assumes any weird linguistic tics are just long-winded Simpsons references.

There’s something decidedly unwholesome about someone singing opera outside your house at 10:50 at night. You’d think it might have a classy, urbane feeling but you’d be wrong, believe me.

@chelseacain.bsky.social Hi! I just read your Mockingbird run and wanted to say that it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to show issue 3 to my 12-year-old daughter tomorrow!

“And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water”

No he wasn’t, Leonard, he was a pedestrian. Next.

Oh man, these are the guys that did Horseshoe Crab, right? Love that song.

“Skywalking in the air…”

You guys, this might be the second IPA talking, but rhythm *is* a dancer…it *is* a soul’s companion…you *can* feel it in the air

Every Saturday evening my wife asks me what I’m going to do and I say I’ll play it by ear and we both know - we know! - I’m going to drink two IPAs and watch a YouTube mix of 90s Eurodance videos.

An absolute masterpiece. Probably my all-time favourite rock album.

Thanks very much guys, see you next year!

I hurt myself today parumpumpumpum
To see if I still feel parumpumpumpum

Yeah, everybody knows that guy from the Tom Petty ‘I Won’t Back Down’ music video

Guys, I think it’s time. I think it’s time for the annual Christmas joke that I make every year. The Bluesky debut. I hope you’re excited.

About 13 years ago my wife got me a dozen different and interesting socks and wrapped them up individually for me to open each month for the year. A bespoke sock of the month club. I thought that was wonderful. I was 30 or so.

It really hit me at the time as I got up on a Saturday morning expecting to watch kids tv and all the channels had this boat on it. I didn’t really understand.

Just started watching Leverage after seeing so many gifs on Tumblr. Three episodes in and I’m obsessed…like The A-Team crossed with Lupin

Given how often he is probably pissing in the sea in the comics, but how unnoted this is by the cowardly writers of those comics, this must be one of the more realistic portrayals of the man. And his expression is *perfect*

This looks great! Is the cover by Coralie Bickford-Smith? Looks like her style.
