Part of it might refer to actual Thunderbirds episodes.

Oh! Beautiful Egyptian geese!

This is from the substack of @iandunt.bsky.social - who knew he supported small press comics too? I think this snippet is an accurate portrayal of the plight of the small press artist!

I especially like the "Handle with Care" paragraph. I never knew about the Sudarium of Oviedo relic; I suppose it's been eclipsed by the more famous Turin shroud.

"Hello, Beast!" - from Strange Suspense Stories #1, 1967 (Charlton). Written by Denny O'Neil and drawn by Bill Montes. Reading this last night and it's a surprisingly touching sea monster story.

As a UK reader I remember being "baffled" by this book - Don Rickles isn't exactly embedded in our culture. I couldn't see the joke. I've since learned he's a master of sardonic comedy roasts, and of course appeared memorably in "Casino".

That's my answer for everything these days.

Life imitates art! ...I produced this mini-comic for @colossive.com in January last year. Note the "Extra Eel Injection" feature. You can still get copies at colossive.com/product/astorial-shower-...

Thanks for clearing this up (seriously). I always thought it referred to a Pot Noodle, or something similar.

I never knew about these Sphinxes, but I see from the web they must be somewhere in Crystal Palace? And they get repainted whenever they're restored!

Whole page is fantastic, but panel four is just inspired. What dynamic movement. Tilted word balloon is part of the action!

To quote Abe Simpson - "there's a haircut you could set your watch to"

Epson Scan stopped working for me...to be fair it has been about 14 years since I bought my scanner/printer! Tried the MS free app "Scan" for a while, but it feels sketchy. Now trying NAPS2, the free open-source thing. At least it can talk to my scanner, so that's a start.

Aye, there's the battle

Zakes Mokae has a mesmerising screen presence, just radiating malevolence. Imagine if he'd been in "Live and Let Die" in the Yaphet Kotto role.

The Serpent And The Rainbow (1987) Did not consider myself a Wes Craven fan - but this movie is intelligent and engaging. This is in spite of the far-fetched nature of the story, involving a zombie theme. Craven's approach is to take everything at face value, and at its best the movie strays into some very strange territory depicting mad dances, graveyard scenes, and voodoo magic without any editorialising. Craven quickly became known as the "nightmare guy" in Hollywood because of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, meaning he has a real knack for filming dream sequences in a convincing and disturbing manner.

Rewatched this movie last night - still very effective and unsettling. In 2021 I posted some short reviews of the many movies I watched during lockdown (see text image). Craven avoids zombie movie cliches and the Haiti scenes have an authentic ring. Fantastic dream sequences.

Herzog for me. Even if Kinski's performance is excessive, the movie has an atmosphere you can almost taste. Popol Vuh music a big part of it.

Agree. The UK 1977 TV version (d. Philip Saville) also delivered a memorable rendition of that scene.

My thought for the day - "Artists succeed where the media fail".

Delighted to read this glowing assessment of my Sound Projector work by Randall Roberts. I love his description of the magazine as a "fanzine gone feral"!

We need more comics in the form of a rebus.

Sprang always set himself the challenge "how to express movement across the panel, without using too many cartoony speed lines?" Well, there are some speed lines in this splash, but that bird flying away on the left of the panel evokes the force of the tidal wave and tornado.

Very special broadcast today at 16:00 on @resonancefm.bsky.social
"Unfaithful Cover Versions" is the theme of the show, Ed in conversation with Philip Sanderson who will be talking about his Residents cover versions CD and his "Morphover & Curl" album.

Varese ionisation, maybe?

What troubles me is creators who have the confidence crisis AND they don't produce anything either. I'd say you're right if your intuition tells you to keep making things!

I realise that page is a mistake, but it also looks great - like a graphical score or a page of concrete poetry. I for one would buy a whole book like that. Have a look at the work of Bob Cobbing.

Everyone loves mysterious pagan folk-horror these days, so here's a great experimental drone-metal record by Diairies of Destruction with the Mari Llwd on the cover.
