I wrote about how it came to be that Millie of "My Boy Lollipop" fame recorded a then-unreleased song by Nick Drake in 1970: www.hilobrow.com/2025/10/05/s...

It is, believe it or not, quite good! Terrific art from Garcia-Lopez, fun backups with art by Marshall Rogers, Keith Giffen, et al.

Okay, I suppose the last one makes sense. (There are 15 of these!)

Oh my god this is so good and I am so excited for the rest of it

I note that today’s @al-ewing.bsky.social -written comics contain both a line about a $50,000 bribe and a line about a military guy getting in trouble because of his hair. There is some alarming prescience happening there.

INDELIBLE OBLOQUY

Crows, schmows--think of the poor swifts!

view from the crime ravaged war zone, where we are currently facing terrible problems like “what can we do with all these delicious ripe figs”

I would absolutely sit still for that entire lecture

Yes I do!

(also, my GOODNESS has there ever been a guitar sound as good as that one)

YouTube video by Southern Rocker The Velvet Underground Guess I'm Falling In Love (Outtake)

Headcanon: the Velvet Underground's "Guess I'm Falling in Love" is the same song as the Rutles' "I Must Be in Love."
