Alien Covenant art drawn in ballpoint biro by @Bhaal_Spawn

Alien Covenant art drawn in ballpoint biro by @Bhaal_Spawn

Aliens, drawn in ballpoint pen πŸ–ŠοΈ (biro) by me.

Drawn on 8"x12" paper, 2018.

And yes, drawing the large dark areas with a black biro WAS a bit of a nightmare πŸ˜….

WHY ARE good things said
to be "The Bee's Knees"?
The knees are perhaps the most
rubbish bit of a bee. I think its
fuzzy arse with a big, barbed sting
sticking out is much better.
"The
Bees Bum'
" would be a much more
appropriate expression.
Billy Bookcase, Guildford

Magazine Letter:
My Mum used to say that you should always wear clean underwear in case you ever got knocked over and I always followed her advice. But the other week I was hit by  a bus, and after looking at the open fracture on my shin, I shat my pants anyway. And pissed them.

I'VE JUST noticed that
Saturday has the word 'turd'

taught this stuff at school instead of
algebra?

Very fond memories of this one. Albeit a little slow, the animation is decent and the monster sprites are really well done. I also love the custom loader on this one for the loading screen - I'll still marvel at it to this day πŸ˜€πŸ€˜

Wow. I got this exact one for my brother earlier this year. I thought he'd see the funny side... alas, he did not 😬

So "Fish 2: A Fish In Time", the long awaited (by me at least) sequel to my (ahem) Golden Joystick award winning game of 1989 is almost written. Johnnie Molloy couldn't write it with me because he died in 2018. But I feel he's with me, and is in fact a character in the game. Watch this space.
