Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...
A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexyβor occasionally anti-sexyβOGLAF!
Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

A photograph of a television screen showing this evening's edition of Channel 4 News. The lead newscaster, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, is sat at a desk in a relaxed, candid posture, looking at his phone, as if he is on a break. The camera filming him was apparently not supposed to be broadcasting.

I am neither for ID cards or against ID cards but I do think it would be wise to entice people in with a good deal. Right now the pitch seems to be 'This will make it easier to arrest you,' which makes it feel rather one-sided.

Starscream in robot mode hovers over exploding buildings, with Thundercracker and Skywarp fly by in jet form.
On this date twenty years ago, I handed in my first paid professional comic work, the cover to Transformers Infiltration #1. Somehow, I failed to notice that a scene with exploding buildings and aircraft being sent to an American publisher might be seen as a tad "insensitive".
