My annual binding of last year's @lrb.co.uk. Should really do this as soon as I get them, but there is a really nice sense of achievement doing it in bulk and it's enjoyable to stop now and again and have a read. Work fuelled by multiple mugs of tea.
Original Record Store Day plan was to wander into Dublin and only buy if something really caught my interest. Soak up the vibes instead. That didn't go to plan.
I rely on your photos to get my bitter fix. Can't get it here in Ireland. Looks like a magnificent pint.
Happy Birthday Paul. Constant source of delight in here. Hope you celebrate in style.
I miss Underdog so much. It has left a very big hole.

Perfection
Doom 2 came very close to derailing my MA thesis. Had to take it off my PC. Temptation to play rather than write was huge. Hours of play fuelled by pots of coffee and Chocolate Digestives.
That looks fantastic. Love omnibuses. Love the potential. Days and days of reading in one volume.

This got me back into comics after stopping my weekly 2000ad order in the mid-80s. Wonderful artwork.
I follow you mainly for the writing but this Apple tip has solved a world of pain.
First visit to the Black Sheep on Capel St. in a while. Went to try the 0% Full Sail on draft but sadly they had run out. Plumped for Whiplash's 0% Never Drinking Again. Lovely atmosphere; kids, multiple tables playing board games, good music and various pub dogs. Classic 2000ad for nostalgia.
Wonderful cover
Had this very book in my hands yesterday at the Secret Bookshop. Didn't buy it as I suspected it was lying in a TBR pile somewhere at home. Got home and confirmed I do not possess.
Days like this I really miss Underdog in Dublin for a couple of beers. I had a stack of reading material and would have loved to while away a couple of hours. Miss making my monthly pitch for bringing back cask beers. Request was entertained, but we both knew it would never happen!. Greatly missed
Been looking forward to this since you started the project. Objectively the best Bond film? I think so.
I knew this day would finally come. This is the issue where I cancelled my subscription.Thanks so much for doing this project. Wonderfully nostalgic with some great memories from the late 70s and early 80s. Will continue to follow and enjoy for as long as you are posting. Thank you
Thank you for your Daily Not-Rothkos, local pub, doorways, windows, lovely pints and still lifes. Wonderful little corner of Bluesky.
I love Päffgen so much. Spent many an hour there. Convinced a Köbes game me half a smile once. Probably mistaken.
That time of the year when a group of friends just share festive 2000ad covers.
My father would take down all the decorations on 27th December if he could get away with it. Just itching to get the vacuum out to clear up the pine needles.
Super job!
The Dune Panini sticker album has to be one of the weirdest film tie-ins aimed at children ever. Luckily, not for "overseas readers".
One of my favourite Stainless Steel Rat memories is Harry Harrison sending a letter to 2000ad pointing out an error. He got £3 from Tharg for his troubles.
There is an animated series as well. Includes all the books as well as new stories.
Fantastic!

New Weirdo Dublin Pub posts usually go up on Wed/Thur, but this week, we had to do it today.

This is very sad. Loved it in all its locations over the years.
