Imagine meeting someone and thinking they’re amazing… and then finding out they use the ‘Skip Intro’ option. {{{shudder}}}

I loved the GameCube and its controller is still my fave to this day. Aesthetically though only the (not included) FZ-10 version of Panasonic’s 3DO tops the ‘Cube, but then I did always have a soft spot for it ever since I owned one back in the day.

It almost looks like Sutekh is clinging to the TARDIS. You must have the gift of future-sight! 😂

I’ve been watching Doctor Who from the (very) beginning for about a year now. Just finished Genesis of the Daleks. How anyone can say they’re a fan of this show but also be “anti-woke” is beyond me! Were they not paying attention? ❤️🟦❤️

As I settle down to watch my latest episode of the simply superb Alien Earth, you can spend your Saturday night perusing the latest issue of the Aliens comic (UK version) from 1993. Here are some highlights to get you going, full review at the link. 👽🦷🦷🐽

On this day in 1987 Pigswilla returned to the pages of #OiNKcomic and he brought with him The Bread Beast(!)… and one of the biggest laugh-out-loud moments for me. 😂🤣 You can read @lewstringer.bsky.social’s brilliant #comicstrip at the link below. 🍞👹🐽

First recurring nightmare was due to The Real Ghostbusters! There was a ghost that possessed cars/machines/TVs to make one giant beast, with an aerial for hair. In my nightmare I got out of bed, looked out the window & one of the houses had a second aerial. Like it was lurking behind, watching me.

Ten weeks already! It’s been great chatting to some of you about the #comics you collected from these lists. Do you remember any of these specific issues or stories?

OiNK BLOG DOUBLES COMPETiTiON: OCTOBER 2025 Last month I told you how August’s competition for a couple of issues of Dragon’s Claws had been the most popular yet and how I expected September’s to be likewise. Well, I receiv…

The blog comp prize for spooky month is the rare preview issue of Fleetway’s superb licenced/anthology horror comic, #SuperNaturals. Edited by the legendary Barrie Tomlinson this it was just in time for Halloween 1987. Now you can try to win it for yourself in the October competition. 👻🐽 #comicsky

I don’t think I’ve ever been in any place ever that has smelled so much like dog pee as this bus does. @translinkni.bsky.social

I got to speak to Alan recently about his time on 80s comic, Super Naturals. A lovely gentleman and his equestrian art is simply stunning!

How many cameos?? Just one insane panel from Lew Stringer’s latest release, #Brickman! You can read all about it and check out some more highlights before you buy (which you really must do) in the review now up on the blog: oink.blog/2025/09/27/b... 🧱🦸‍♂️🐽

This post is absolute rubbish, outdated and offensive to us who actually live here in NI.

I used to be a conductor here and one day on the train I announced we were approaching Derry. I left the guards van and a group of six men angrily shouted “LONDONderry” at me. They had a Lambeg drum with them with the words “Boys of Derry” printed on it. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Instead of using a photos you’ve used AI slop, stolen other people’s work without their permission or payment & destroying the planet. And for what? To celebrate a wife beater and a privileged rich guy who got TWO liver transplants because he wouldn’t stop drinking when others struggle to get one.

On this day in 1993 in the US #Marvel released issue 1 of #Transformers Generation 2. On this day in 2024 over here I finally read it for the first time! The whole series is now complete and on the blog here: oink.blog/transformers... 🌌🪐🚚🤖🐽

BRiCKMAN #1: A SMASH HiT It’s always exciting news when Lew Stringer (Tom Thug, Pete and his Pimple, Combat Colin) announces another of his self-published comics. Regular readers of the OiNK Blog will recognise the star of…

Oh my god that second half!! He told one long story about himself and his family and, as funny as it was, the twist at the end…! My watch gave me a sound level warning afterwards, the place erupted louder than I’ve ever heard 😂😂 Best stand up gig I’ve ever been to!

#daraobriain #belfast #comedy

Brilliant first half from Dara O’Briain at the Belfast Grand Opera House. No other comedian is as quick witted with the audience 😂🤣

The first extra for the #Aliens section of the blog! Haven’t played it yet, look out for a special blog post at Halloween. 🦷🦷👽🐽

Agreed! I refuse to call it anything other than City Airport!

(Plus the fact that after he got a liver transplant he continued to drink until he needed another one and because he was this “national hero” he got a second one no problem instead of going to the back of the queue like anyone else.)

Carl Critchlow’s stunning cover to #Aliens issue 16 in the UK from 1993. You can check out more excellent extraterrestrial art in the full review now up on the blog, link below. 👽🦷🦷🐽

Having a bakery (a bakery with a vinyl records section, no less) and a new fruit & veg shop on the corner has changed things! Look at those colours! No plastic! Just the amount of spuds I need! ❤️❤️ #belfastcity #eastbelfast #belfastireland #breadandrecords #freshfood #irishpotatoes #nofoodwaste

HELP! Zosha is MISSING! Young, grey, white cat, with black stripes and patterns on back, legs, tail and head. Has a distinguishing mark on the right side of her face, at her nose.

To anyone living in the BT6 area of Belfast 🙏❤️ Details of what happened, what she looks like and who to contact at the link. Please spread the word.
