Frida, Gloria and Ernie stare at the door Gamma left through. Frida throws their head back and says 'Ugh! What a load of BALONEY!' Gloria looks annoyed and replies 'You can say that again.' Ernie, meanwhile, is confused and says 'Wwwhat just happened?' Gloria leans in and explains 'We've been had, Ernie. Lied to.' Ernie stammers 'B-- but the book is a hundred years old!'

Jules, Nibs and Tip walk away through the tiny city. Jules asks 'How are we going to get out of here?', and Nibs complains 'All the boats are smaller than toys.' They all notice their boat in the harbour, surrounded by the tiny Lilliput boats. Their boat seems to have grown wings now. Nibs is surprised 'Is that the boat?', and Jules is enchanted 'The little wings are so cute!' Tip, however, is not paying attention yet. 'Wait, you bathe?', thy ask.

First page of 'Hells Bells', by SPRAK. First we see Heaven's gate with a confused person sitting by it. This person walks up to Saint Peter, feeling all wobbly, and is greeted by the old man: 'Welcome, my Child. You lived a Good, Virtuous life. Now. Come to your eternal place of r-' but the new arrival interrupts Saint Peter : 'Isn't there supposed to be someone waiting here for me??' Saint Peter, baffled, asks 'What?' and this person gestures with their hands. 'Little Black Dog. This shape. Nibbin of a tail.' Saint Peter scratches his beard 'Bells!? Good Heavens. No. You know the saying- All Dogs go to Heaven. It should be Most Dogs go to Heaven. [Whispers] That Bells was one rotten pup.' The main character's face darkens and they say 'Well, Father, you leave me no choice.' Saint Peter comes closer 'Excuse me? I'm not a priest, also, if that's wha-' but is interrupted by a punch in the face.

$First page of BurnedCoffee's 'Tales from the Labyrinth Planet'. A lone astronaut walks on an empty planet followed by a small robot. They are walking towards a brght stone that portrudes from the ground. The computer's voice pops in: 'Approaching source vein directly 12 meeters ahead. Alert! Comms signal weakening.' The astronaut replies 'Just arrived to the site. Nem-00. Heh! The mother of all the loads.' The computer's signal starts breaking down 'Coos Signal unsta-RRRPR-ositioning 20 minuZZZto reZZT---cnct-' The astronaut reaches for their helmet, replying to the robot 'Sigh. ...sure thing, buddy. See you on the flip side, I guess.' Then they narrate for themselves 'It was a known tragedy that when humanity finally went into space it did so to raise stock value for shareholders. Still, mankind survives, hoping to one day escape the cage it built for itself. Lightyears away from earth, the planet 13-ZKY45 is the latest target for space fracking, one more link on the long chain of exploitation. Especially after the recent discovery of a new energy storing mineral called 'Labyrinthium'.' The astronaut, with their helmet off, looks down despondently, having also shed the top of their suit. They think 'Alone. Again.' and walk towards the shining stone, helmet in hand, followed by the small robot.$

Gamma raises her hands trying to appease Frida. In the background Ernie looks on and Gloria rolls her eyes. Gamma says '...I assure you, Fr -- Mx. Frida, that none of this is a joke.' Frida remains defiant. They say 'Oh yeah? It all just happens to conveniently fit in, doesn't it? A mysterious book -- (that you dropped off); a mysterious address -- (that you operate from); a mysterious box -- (that you left there); with a convenient note conveniently addressed to 'Ernest' -- (the name of the person you gave the book to in the first place)...' Gamma looks down and acknowledges '... I can see how you would get the impression you are getting, yes...'

First page of Iván G. Azuara's 'The Wrong Nun'. A young nun walks through a seedy area of town, a place filled with brothels and pimps and weird characters. She thinks to herself 'Maybe coming this way wasn't such a good idea'. As she wo=alks some weirdo smiles at her and says 'Oi, Love! You on your own?'. She passes people who stare at her as if she's out of place, because she is. Another voice inside her head says 'I think it's exciting.' Mira, the nun, thinks 'Everyone's staring at us'. Some pervert follows her for a bit, saying 'Oi, look at that, a young little nun'. The other voice in her head says 'Just keep walking. Stay calm.'. We see a brief interaction between Mira and that other Mira inside her head. Mira says 'I can't stay calm. This place is dangerous... Just look at the way they're watching us...'. The other Mira says 'Come on... We're almost there.' Mira whines 'Can't we just go back?'. The pervert stops close to her as she's entering an alleyway, and he says 'Hey... I'm all on my own, babe... hic... fancy playing with my little worm?'. As she walks into the alley, Mira thinks 'No no, not the alley...'. The other Mira says 'Easy... everything's going to be fine...'

Holmes reassures Lottamony: 'I'll retrieve any compromising file on you from the clutches of your former lover!', and Lottamony says 'Thank you, Mr. Holmes!'. Watson and Sherlock then stand outside of their house, while Lottamony walks away. Watson says 'Are you dresssing as a dog again? You worry me, old friend.', but Sherlock does not reply to this and says 'All I need is a distraction to gain access to her phone, and YOU are going to help me!'. The next day Watson is sitting on a bench in the park and talking on the phone to Sherlock. He says 'he mark is in position, doing... <em>whatever</em> influencers are supposed to do.', referring to the influencer who is just posing for her own phone in front of a fountain or something. Sherlock, on a vespa and talking on the phone to Watson, says 'EXCELLENT! I'm on my way. Get into position!', and Watson begrudgingly replies 'I hope you know what you're doing..'. Watson approaches the influencer, Irene Adler, and tipping his hat says 'I'm sorry ma'am, but perchance are you the famous Irene Adler, the tik queen of the toks?'. Irene Adler says 'A fan! Come on, get on camera, I'm streaming live!'. Suddenly, Sherlock approaches them in the vespa, screaming 'DID SOMEBODY ORDER A PIZZA?!'. Understandably Irene Adler is taken aback and says 'What the--', and Watson says 'Oh, bother...'.

Guess what friends? It is the 31st of December! And what better to celebrate than reading "No Scandal in Bahamas", by @juaneletamal.bsky.social

First page of 'To my partner', by Alpha Yu. A man looks out of a window into the sky, where a giant space ship floats over a destroyed city. 'If in 50 years we ruin the world, would we turn Vancouver into a Spaceship and take to the stars? What would our home be?'. The Vancuver spaceship floats in space, and see images of life here, an alien buying dumplings, Science World against the void of space, the UBC clock tower touching the sky. 'Would the suns set because we rocket past them? Would we preserve the tastes of Chinatown for our alien neighbours? Would Science World look like just another planet? Would the UBC Clock Tower finally touch the stars?'

A pair of hands shake while in the background astronauts float holding a PRIDE banner. Anime girls jump at the bottom of the frame. 'I wonder, if Vancouver became a spaceship - could we overcome our differences? And if so, would we keep our festivals? What does pride parade look like in zero gravity? Would there still be anime conventions in space?'. We see an art market too, with someone buying from a local artist. 'Would we still be able to sell at markets together? I like to think we'd be able to keep all those things...'

Here we see a captain guiding the spaceship while his crew agrees in multiple languages. Then we see a cup of tea, and a woman having that tea with the man from the first page inside an apartment, with the sky as a background. '...and despite all it would take to take our hoe into the stars, I like to think that we would work together. But... even if we couldn't have any of that, if we were forced to consign our city and culture to oblicion... well... Simply having you here far surpasses any wonder I could ever imagine, for you are my home.'

December 30th! Here is a sweet #scifi adjacent poem by Alpha Yu, 'To my Partner'.

First page of María Izquierdo Barri's 'Dilly Dally'. A bird is building a nest.

In this page the bird admires its work proudly, the nest perfectly assembled. But then the bird sighs dejectedly.

The bird looks sad and says 'Maybe I should be doing something more productive'. In the background far away we see the skyline of a city being built.

Cutting it close today! For December 29th, the theme is 'Dilly Dally', like in @vinzul.bsky.social 's delightful #comic below.

First page of Iván G Azuara's 'The Letter'. An older man examines an archaelogical object. There's narration throughout the page. 'My dear nephew, thank you so much for sending me such an astonishing piece. In all my years as a professor, I've never seen anything quite like it. Its reliefs and decorations... I cannot place their origin. And the bas-relief conveys an impossible depth for such a carving. It grips your attention... in a manner...'. We see the man looking at his books and studying. 'I have searched my extensive library for days...But I regret to say I found nothing related to the carving.' The old man goes to visit his colleague Max, who also studies the piece. 'So I went to see Max, a colleague and expert in mythology. Like myself, he was taken aback. He studied the carving in detail.'

Max and the old man can't get many answers, so they travel to the Natural History Museum, visiting a woman named Susanna. '...but he could not discern its origin. All he could say was that it was very old. We decided to visit Susanna, the finest anthropologist at the Natural History Museum.'. Susanna studies the piece and findsa promising lead. 'I felt desperate... Was this piece so ancient it had been forgotten entirely? But she deciphered it... She possessed a book telling a story long forgotten... or perhaps deliberately hidden.' We see an image of a ritual involving burning a person. 'The carving belonged to a primeval tribe, older than the Sumerians, who appeased the wrath of ancient gods through sacrifice. We know nothing else of them, save that they vanished overnight.' The old man returns home. 'I returned home with the unsettling feeling of being watched, though with a certain satisfaction. The carving was an idol, perhaps of that strange deity... perhaps a piece used in the ritual.'

The old man looks at his studies. 'I gathered all the information I could... but it is not enough. I need more pieces.' We then see him receiving a phone call and looking concerned. 'Sadly, I can no longer rely on my colleagues. I received a call from the police. They found Max hanged in his office.' We cut to the police finding Max naked and hanged in his office, with a ritualistic circle and other markings on his body. 'And poor Susanna... I hardly know how to say it...', we then cut to a man finding Susanna bent in impossible ways, dead inside a glass case while a man looks terrified. We cut back to the old man, who is dead now too, with creepy demonic arms coming out of his unhinged jaw. The arms are writing a letter next to the artifact. 'Now, I am alone, dear nephew... which is why I need you to find the rest. I need you to... <strong>SEND ME THE REMAINING PIECES... I NEED THEM ALL'

Ok, so for today (Dec 28) you should check out Iván G. Azuara's creepy #comic 'The Letter'.

Then you should open a new tab and go straight to unpocodetinta.com
