Fraiser: And how is your work going in Gotham, cousin Johnathan? What do you have there, is it a Batman or a Man-bat?

Scarecrow: We have both.

Niles: How exciting for you.

I'm told that the blade itself incites to deeds of violence

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Found a few more!

I will always love drawing that mug. Thanks pal!

Same as those watching Tiktok at full volume on a train. There are fewer of them than us, but they goddamn make themselves more visible.

I'm having a big studio clear out. For the next few weeks I'll be putting older artworks up on my site for pretty reasonable prices. First up are a bunch of old Doctor Who drawings. russellmarkolson.bigcartel.com

Random sketches from under the desk , really should find a better way to store them as there is loads more kicking around. Or I start sketching digitally

Queenie visiting Portsmouth in 1973, she's greeting a line of Naval Base employees in the rain. A roundish bloke in a brown boiler suit is holding a rainbow coloured umbrella over the Queen's head as she asks people if they travelled far. Boiler suit is looking dead at the camera thinking "sod's law they'd pick the republican to hold the bloody umbrella."

Look at the absolute lad holding the umbrella. Top expression.

My son Thomas sent me a video this morning which he made for my birthday, and he said he would be happy for me to share it. I think it's great but I may not be completely impartial.

I’ll be there, too, but don’t let that dissuade you.

"I say! Are you Georgina?" The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and “Famous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7 her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's. "No," she said. "I'm not Georgina." "Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?" "I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl. I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if you don't." "Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway, you look like a boy."

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

A purple skinned alien with a long pointy nose and matching pointy ears in a yellow suit and bowler hat is illuminated by the muzzle fire of a tommy gun. He has a wild, ecstatic look in his eyes.

This asshole is back!
