Teddy loses control, today on Sable: A Ghost Story. Catch up on the Eisner nominated webcomic now. Sablecomic.com

A page from Sable: A Ghost Story. Teddy's eyes gleam red as his fear boils into rage. He screams at Graham as he destroys the room. "I *shouldn't*! I already know I *shouldn't*! I shouldn't be here, I shouldn't have written to Uncle Martin! I should be so angry all the time, shouldn't sit the wrong way or say the wrong thing or thing the wrong thoughts. But I do!"

This was how I learned that Brooklyn has its own flock of feral parrots, which has occupied the spires of the gothic arch since the late 60s.

I'm sad to hear of the passing of David Hockney. I grew up watching and rewatching a vhs recording of his surreal production of The Magic Flute.
