Ohhhh boy

all the time until tbis quote stuck in my head 🥰

Oh wow that’s very good

No not this one as far as I can see. I do like a massive physical book, it’s very satisfying to read irl, but yeah pretty unwieldy.

Very much enjoying the atmosphere of the new Stranger Things so far but there does seem to be a lot of ‘group of characters gather to explain what they’re going to do next’.

I genuinely don’t know what to do.

You ever buy a book so big, so heavy, so promising, you don’t want to take the cellophane off and start it. So instead you’re stuck staring at it forever, like the treasure it is.

ANYWAY I just discovered a stash of fifteen more sketchpads which Past Me must have bought and hidden so I’d forget about them. Which I did. Fifteen! Looks like I’m working till the grave then 😎

I have a specific sketchpad I use to draw all of my work on, but they discontinued it. So I bulk bought a load and told myself when I run out, that’s a sign, maybe I’ll retire or do something different. I’ve now only got eight left. That’s only going to last me a few years.

Rocky’s very confused as to why the walking rock has come out of hibernation so early.

100% yeah, nailed it.

Yeah totally, they’d been working on this for many many years. Hearing the scientists talk about how they all pulled together is really inspiring.

I DO TOO!

I stumbled upon this Instagram account where a guy goes into ‘haunted’ spaces and plays loud music, confidently taunting the spirits to respond, and I know it’s just silly fun, but there’s something quite liberating in the attitude. Going somewhere we’re told is scary, and taking ownership of it 👻

This is normal behaviour though.

(No shade on weight loss jabs, I know people on it, do what’s best for you. I just always found that vaccine argument to be a bewildering double standard)

I wonder if anyone who, back in the pandemic, was loudly antivax because ‘we don’t know what’s in it’ is now happily slamming mounjaros into each leg.

Edmonds!

Aaaand that’s me finished work for the year. I really made an effort to book in some proper time off this Christmas. Usually I’m working up to the 23rd getting out of office replies from everyone, but this time it’s going to be ME loafing about! Woohoo! 🥳

Ohh is that near the fab multi level toy shop, you’ve caught the vibe perfectly 👌

There are some great other gems to be won too, they’re all here: app.galabid.com/creatives4su...

Good luck, and well done @louiestowell.bsky.social and everyone involved for pulling this together! 💖

Amazing cause, and Woodrow is a comics genius, this is a wonderful idea 🙏

So cool, thanks for flagging it up!

BVM readers are cool and hot, CONFIRMED 🫡

Oh! That’s amazing, where was the photo from do you know?

If you haven’t read this issue yet, it’s basically what comics were invented for. Neill’s tentacles smash through the entire comic, invading other strips (including Bunny Vs Monkey), and breaking every wall. It’s a glorious deconstruction of what makes comics so great 🤩

Not sure you do.

I was a literal cautious to say it! But for whatever reason the majority public probably care about other things more than green issues.

It’s such a shame. I was really rooting for them too. There must be something intrinsic in left leaning politics, we just can’t seem to pull together like we need to.

Also: Your Party is a terrrrrible name, and I cannot fathom what they were thinking.
