Me too, Dalek pal. My poor old eyestalks.

And The Question was on my list, along with 80s X-Men, Vertigo Hellblazer and Love and Rockets, and now I’ve collected some runs I’m spending the winter reading.

I’ve started reading the 1980s revival of The Question and it is glorious. I’d love to know why this isn’t revered alongside Watchmen, which was concurrently published. Either way, I’m in love with it and storming through the whole run.

This is on my wall right now, and visible in all my video calls. It’s lovely stuff.

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

Sometimes I wish there was a Star Trek Holiday Special like the Star Wars people got.

They didn’t fight, which was a shame. Their outfits had slight variations like Raiden and Sub Zero.

I’m in a public place and I just saw a lady of uncertain vintage wearing quite an odd outfit, like she was going horseriding later. I shrugged and then I saw a different older lady in exactly the same outfit. Now I’m wondering if they’re a gang or a convention or something. Maybe they’ll fight.

Really hoping Stranger Things does a Game of Thrones and has somebody go loopy and kill everyone at the end.
Wait… that worked for Blake’s 7…

There’s now a whole Netflix category that’s just β€œmovies and shows I really liked and suddenly lost all interest in”.

I want four Halloweens per year - one per quarter.

Happy thanksgiving! We had one last month. Thanksgiving, not a boning.

Took a break to clean my eavestroughs this afternoon, with the snows a’comin’ in. They were completed full of layered organic matter. It was incredibly satisfying, like eating a Walls Viennetta.

Watching an American doing the Harry Ramsden’s β€œeating challenge” and talking about mooshy peas and coorie sauce and I’m just thinking it looks like a Friday night in Scotland.

I’m hoping for Khaos with Ed Miliband.

Weekend reading: great mix of new reads and inspirational rereads. Comic books are great.

I’m also thinking the lunacy of the public doesn’t change much. People are people.

Genuinely top work. Also identifying with that main character - I was a young journalist in another country and, though I never encountered a werewolf, I suspect you and I have the same kinda stories.

If we try not to know about the RFK thing maybe it’ll go away again

Spending a happy time this Saturday with a great comic book - the schlock-tastic Macabre Valley #1. Nicely disturbing, with something to say and lots of great violence too. Also some chuckles, such as the attached.
This one’s a strong rec from me! See @zackquaintance.bsky.social.
