Same.

This belongs here

He specified "a jet". Does that mean he was farting?

A US$6 comic would sell for A$12 over here. Screw that.

Oglaf is still quietly producing the goods. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea — very little is — but the art and writing are flawless. The people who create it are at the top of their fields.

Am I alone in this, or did anybody on here go through the books again over Jackson's films?

Kind of. When the first movie was announced, it was clearly a must-see, but I hadn't actually read the trilogy: only The Hobbit. So I went out and bought a slipcased collection. These days I don't really feel the need to own the books, but it doesn't feel quite right to get rid of them.

Scene set in an Irish pub: page 4 of issue 1. ✔  Not joking, it's in the preview art.

Thanks for the heads-up, GottaGetAGrip.

I s'pose you could say that about re-reading any run.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake here.

Ade, sorry for your loss.

It's an easy mistake to make.

Interesting to discover that Si wrote for The Bill and Grange Hill.

If any of you fancy reading the winner of the 2015 Nebula award for best novelette, here it is free and legit from the author: A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai’i by Alaya Dawn Johnson.

It has vampires.

And you can tell through Azzarello's approach to Superman that he was kind of struggling to write a hero who wasn't a morally ambiguous hard-boiled jerk at this point in his career.

This ad appeared in my Yahoo inbox.

I mean, really.

There was an article about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Times (of London) yesterday that said she faced "accusations from critics that she had overstated the threat to her safety in a video she posted on Instagram" about the Capitol invasion. She said she was terrified because she'd been sexually assaulted in the past. 

The ourpouring of bile in the comments section was mind-boggling. I felt like I was reading the Daily Mail. I mean, I don't think everyone has to agree with her politics, but for a man to look at AOC and have hateful thoughts about her is f*cking creepy if you ask me.

It was balls, not taint.

Today's Times reported:

The QAnon conspiracy community is also turning on ... the mysterious “Q” figure who started the movement online, as adherents voice concerns that the whole thing was an elaborate hoax.

(My emphasis.)

I mean, do you laugh? Do you weep?

Yeah, he's pretty frank on social media.
