And the answer is simple - I need to occasionally DM someone I don't have a number for to talk about Transformers.

I think to myself - once this place goes, I'll just take a deep breath and find other ways to engage with the world.

And then I think...well, why wait?

And of course I say it from a place of massive privilege - but I associate Twitter with a lot of good times. A mess of a place, a horrible place - but I know I wouldn't have the friends I do without it. Bluesky feels almost like the training wheels I need to live life without Social Media, y'know?

Bluesky is exactly the thing I needed to get over the genuine heartbreak of what happened to Twitter. You spend 10+ years checking that thing every day, posting jokes and art, making life-long friends through it - you become attached. It sounds daft I know.

If you HAVEN'T backed this wonderful comics anthology yet, I can't really do anything about that. God knows I don't have the agency I once did. Can't make you buy a really good comic book full of great, varied stories if you don't want to. Say you don't like fun, for example? What can I do then?

Black Pudding and Blood

I'm unusually quiet right now while I wait in a couple of things. Good time to sneak in a commission if anyone is hankering for such a thing. Prices unchanged since '25, so here's last year's price list.

Of course I meant Big Doof but I think when it comes to typos, the people on Bluesky are capable of rolling with the lunches.

There was no way I could miss out on this bug doof. Ordered!

Classic Drac!

The dream! Haha of course he is a dweeb with glasses too.

Taking my mind off things by admiring the Belmont-esque makeover of Max the Lion.

TOR in their Tortoise mode - which is very cute

Y'know?

I've been looking at a lot of Megazord toys recently. I've reviewed the big Astro Megazord and Ultrazord combo - but some of this other stuff is speaking to me. Yer big Pyramid - yer big Turtle - yer big train etc. Acting like I have all the storage/shelf space in the world.

For me? A hearty lentil Soup, Steak & Eggs and Profiteroles with some Orange Robinson's. Then just sit me on the pyramid, y'know?

All these celebrity 'last meal' videos and they're ordering half the planet. Pal, you get a starter, main and dessert - ONE drink and then it's off to the masher.

A youtube short titled Would You Eat Ben Schwartz's Last Meal?

Seems unnecessarily cruel...but sure!

Hey I'll go for that if it's still going!

I have submitted this to Viz.

TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on BIG CONVOY is now live! Just in time for his new Age of the Primes toy, we return to the Japanese side of the world of Beast Wars and finally address the elephant in the room - the Maximal mammoth so powerful, they call him the One-Man Army!

4 panel comic, black & white P1: A large monolithic onyx black spacecraft hangs heavy-yet-weightless in low orbit over a planet. A caption box booms: "MEANWHILE! IN THE FAMILY VEHICLE!" From a triangular window on the front of the spacecraft, a voice yells "ARE WE THERE YET?!" P2: Cut to the interior of the craft. Sat at the controls in the cockpit is a husky man wearing what could be described as "Jack Kirby Chic." Behind him, we can see something with beady eyes looming as he answers "verily, my loin-spawn, I say thee once again: NAY!" P3: We reveal the abomination that is the pilot's child, sat sedentary in a chair atop a robotic arm. Head far too large for their body, they yell "but oh father mine: ARE WE THERE YET?!" P4: Closeup on the father's beleaguered face, as he quietly says "by fuck" through gritted teeth

MEANWHILE!

I should say - since you JACKALS are clipping at my cloak - the DELIVERY of this theme is incredible. Elevated only via the sheer gravel-throated intensity of the singer (maybe Stan Lee).

VINDICATED

Probably some audio of him at a convention in 1992 about how he once saw a magician climb up a wall and was struck with inspiration to write the worst lyrics ever.

The lyrics to the theme which are awful

Defenders Of The Earth has one of the most verbose 80s cartoon themes but the lyrics are total horse's shit.

Sorry to be crass.

It always bothered me and I'll admit it doesn't sound like a huge deal but think about MY problems for a second.

I just found out the lyrics were credited to Stan Lee!
