200 graphic novels fresh from Scholastic NZ
What ever should I do with them?
The content we need
Accurate
Cricket chat.
Watching Finn Allen smashing the skin off the ball to all corners in the IPL sets unrealistic expectations for my upcoming cricket season.
Hell if I can get through with our majorly injuring myself I’ll consider it a win.
I’ve had a pretty good run.
But today was totally self inflicted. I wasn’t even in the game. No one wants to buy from someone who isn’t engaged. Still met some lovely folk and had some good chats.
Local Carlisle Comicon today.
You need a decent mindset going into these events and I think I talked myself out of it from the get go.
Still a success but I needed to be better prepared for it in the upstairs department.
Onto the next one!
Facts
You have my attention
Comic writers of Bluesky, do us letterers a solid, instead of just generalised SFX notes like Insert laser noises here, can you give us the onomateopia that you want for your book please? It can avoid people, such as myself, sitting here for 15 minutes making assorted laser noises & sounding crazy.
Rob of if I may summarize:
Writers do your fucking jobs.
If Disney is hellbent on stripmining all of Pixar's successful properties for sequels (I mean, they are doing Toy Story 5 and Coco 2), I think Brave would actually be a good candidate. You could send Merida on a journey/adventure where she encounters various creatures from Scottish mythology.
Adulting.
Front of the house is refurbed for now.
Need to paint the steps on a weekend where we have no dogs and the sun is shining so I’m thinking September 2029?
Oh.
There’s two of them now.
Your Saturday morning reward.
This is Donnie.
I may steal him.
Guess who’s back?
New books.
New looks.
Can’t wait.

My little brother was definitely at the end of some ferocious batarang work
The best Christmas morning present ever in … let’s say 1984?
“I HAVE THE POWER!!”
Ready to go tomorrow at Dublin Comicon with @bigbangcomics.bsky.social

You giveth and you taketh away.
The sun was out at 6:45 am in the south of Scotland.
IT’S HAPPENING PEOPLE!!!
SUMMER IS COMING!!!
Moved two 1 tonne bags over 100 yards in under 2 hours yesterday and managed 10,000 steps.
Annnnd today I cannot get of the couch.
Here’s to being 46!
The exchange rate was not kind. And my $5.05 per hour part time Burger King wage did not stretch far 🤣
Back in about 93 I sent a Mail order cheque off to Mile High Comics for about 50 issues and waited 3 months not knowing if I had lost my money or if I was scammed.
Oh what a glorious day when that package arrived!
I do not miss the insane NZ v US dollar conversion prices I used to pay. Explains why most of my mates could afford a deposit on a house and I had a boatload of cool stuff!
This month’s going to be fun.
