It absolutely does my nut in that the country that was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to not have tyrannical kings that nobody can get rid of has a tyrannical king that nobody can get rid of.

It was a Woody Allen joke! A famous one too.
"I was married by a reformed Rabbi. He was very reformed. He was a Nazi."
Doesn't quite have the same nuance coming from Frank Butcher.

Me & @madeley.bsky.social were just talking about how decades ago it was acceptable for comedians to steal each other's jokes & it reminded me of a friend who told me a joke that he saw Mike "Frank Butcher" Reid perform live. It was a joke that I recognised, & you'll never guess whose joke it was...

Is the punchline "where do you want this wood?" Jon Ronson has an anecdote about Chris Evans driving Frank Sidebottom's band's van to a gig in London and doing that to a passerby. I had no idea it was a Ryan Davies joke. :D

Reminds me of the old Welsh joke. Chap stranded on a desert island for some time, builds a chapel. A few years later he's rescued - the rescuers find a second chapel. Why, they ask.him, are there two? "Ah, that one over by there's the one I don't go to..."

What do you need right now? If the answer is "A dramatic reading by @paulgcornish.bsky.social of legendary Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov's 1942 poem about Superman's sex life," then you're in luck! youtu.be/kinpu_MDZTc

Superman in 1878, with his hair parted in the middle and a fake mustache, still in his Superman costume.

Superman in 1824, with his hair brushed forward and fake sideburns, still in his Superman costume.

Superman in 1779, with long haired wig tied at the back, still in his Superman costume.

Here's Superman on a time travelling mission, making sure to style his hair in a manner that's appropriate for the era so he doesn't look like a complete freak.

In honor of today being FOC for the first issue of our new run, THE FLASH 31, the folks at DC gave me the all clear to share some images pulled from my original design sheet.

@ryannorth.ca and I hope you take the ride with us! Tell you your local comic shop to reserve a copy for you today!

What's interesting about this poem is that Superman was created in 1938, so it only took four years for a fully grown adult man to look at Superman and think "what if this children's character was horny. I am very clever lol."

Can you imagine if someone who didn't have a famous dad pitched a story that was literally just "a man is on an island and his face falls off"?

The way the murder clean-up is projected on Robert Culp's glasses in the Columbo episode Death Lends a Hand is pure cinematic genius. A true demonstration of what the medium can be capable of. And it's not even actual cinema.

1950s comic panel. Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lana Lang meet a man dressed as an ancient Celtic chieftain. Clark is thinking that they can understand him because his language is similar to modern Welsh, which they can all speak.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! I've always felt like a bit of an odd man out in my own country, like I never truly got the hang of "being Welsh." But I'm glad I'm Welsh all the same.

And it's a good day to remind everyone that Superman speaks Welsh!

Anyone else on League of Comic Geeks? What's it like? I can't say I care for the name but I like the idea of Letterboxd for comics. Is that what it is?

Yeah the series was originally online & when they published them as comics they'd put two stories in every issue. The other story was about Superman babysitting Sugar and Spike.

Murdock: "What have you found?"

"These red lights keep moving back and forth. This seems to have no function."

M: "That’s impossible, it must have some sort of function. Why would the government spend billions of dollars into a thing with red lights which keeps going back and forth?"

Very clear that for Starmer, 'sectarian voting' is when British Muslims don't vote Labour, and for many others, it is just when British Muslims vote.

Joke's on them, I blocked them. :)

Why do people do this? Do they talk to people in this way in real life?

A lot has been written and said over the years about how Decca failed to sign the Beatles in 1962, but was it as bad as that time The Beatles failed to sign David Bowie in 1968?

Artemis II/Artemis program update press conference starting momentarily. I'll live post the highlights in this thread!

My post: "When I was a kid Last of the Summer Wine was very much "I'm watching this 'cos it's on and there are only 4 channels" but I watched the first two episodes recently & God help me, I really enjoyed them. Don't know if it's 'cos the older ones are better or 'cos old age is looming on the horizon." Obscured name of person replying: "I didn't enjoy them back then, and am not moved to rediscover"
