Still, at least it seems to be keeping monkeyboy off twitter, I suppose.

In the middle of all this, he tweeted about his poll percentages. 

It looks like Leo Manco's Slaine has been delayed, and now appears in 2000AD prog 2184, out in about a week. This Facebook post has more info and some preview images: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2000admegaverse/permalink/2481250858702770/

Jesus H Corona, look at all this: https://comicscene.org/free-comics/

Mr McMahon, Mr Kondek, I note there's a 74 page sample edition of Commando comics in there. 

Also Lew Stringer, and a complete classic Judge Dredd trade.

It was not - now we are an all female household (excluding pets) we don’t have that problem. 

That'll explain the changes you mentioned in an old post. Sorry to hear that.

I’ve been cutting my own hair for 6 years now this is NOT new to me

 

I did take my bathroom sink apart, remove the S bend, remove a blockage and replace it so I’m feeling AWESOME. 

Was the blockage hair?

Tissues and kitchen paper aren't flushable, so there should be runs on plumber callouts soon too.

It's still scarce in my town. I haven't seen it for sale in weeks. Luckily my gal stocked up when she was over here in February; a purchase that would have lasted her just under a fortnight if she'd stayed has kept me going (so to speak) for a couple of months.

I thought the opening few pages were close to genius. It devolved into a Shallow Reading Of Constantine™ — I mean, Delano's Constantine would have been okay with Tommy, and that's the definitive version of Constantine if you ask me — but Spurrier has built up such a reserve of goodwill that I was basically okay with it. Still one of the best things on the shelf these days.

Hoarding is alive and well here in regional Australia too. Toilet paper was the first thing to go, but yesterday and today the pasta and canned food shelves were empty as well. Mental.

Our schools are still open, which I think is a mistake — although I confess I work at one and would like a break.

Avant, always good to hear from you.

Billionaire Island #1 didn't disappoint.

I've long held that 'bastard' is a shallow reading of the character.

Mind you, there've been many John Constantines, even within the first 300 issues of the original series, none 100% compatible with the others. So there's support for different readings. 

Felt like vintage Hellblazer to me. 8.5 rounded up to 9 for goodwill.

That's stunning.

You've all seen this stuff, right?

Flashback: Trump Warned That a ‘Weak’ and ‘Ineffective’ President Would Start a War With Iran to ‘Get Re-elected’

I don't know why you don't use credit cards, but would a debit Visa or debit Mastercard get around the issue? That's what I shop with. 

(Fascination, a collection of short stories by William Boyd, by the way.)

Amazon will be my only recourse for finding good books if she also goes under.

Have you tried AbeBooks? I sometimes think it should be my home page.
