Reminded me of this…

A tweet from Nov 6th 2023 by user yungchomsky that says:

“sorry but if you’re walking slower than me on the sidewalk, you’re my enemy. walking faster than me? also my enemy. now if you’re walking at the same speed as me… hmm yeah I’m thinking enemy”

The fifth Milestone Compendium is here and its quite an accomplishment given how many back catalogue reprints stall halfway through their respective reprint runs. This marks the reprint of Milestone Comics’ entire 1993 to 1997 output plus the 2001 Static Shock and 2010 Milestone Forever minis

Five chunky paperback collections titled Milestone Compendiums One through Five with each book’s spine depicting a different character from Milestone Comics catalogue

A new t-shirt has entered the rotation…

A close up of a cream coloured t-shirt I am wearing depicting a seagull wearing sunglasses with chips in its mouth. Beside it are the words “I’m here for the snacks”

Chioma Ebinama‘s “Sweet Mother and the Hunger Demon”

A painting in yellow and red watercolours mixed with coffee and turmeric. It depicts a six armed woman crouching with one pair of arms resting on the ground in front of her, one pair of arms raised above her, fists clenched and one pair of arms below her chest with hands cupped to capture milk from multiple breasts. From her head sprouts branches. From her arms resting on the ground, sprouts flowers. Stood below her are multiple birds with human legs, their beaks raised to catch milk.

Finally saw Stonehenge, which was cool and learned some stuff I didn’t know including that one stone is supported with concrete after years of visitors chipping away souvenirs from the bottom like it was a high risk game of Jenga until there was a cavity big enough to fit 4 people

Stonehenge, a Neolithic stone circle featuring upright stones as well as stones laid horizontally across the tops of some. A yellow circle highlights the base of one stone filled with concrete.

A black and white photo from the 1950s showing four adults sitting inside a cavity at the bottom of the stone highlighted in the previous picture prior to concrete being used to fill it.

A Neolithic era human skeleton next to a bust depicting what the person would have looked like which appears to be actor Peter Mullan, and he looks quite perplexed

Highlight of the day was Avebury of course (sorry Stonehenge). What’s not to like about a stone circle large enough to contain a village, especially if you’ve seen 1970s children’s TV drama Children of the Stones…

One very tall stone with two sheep standing in it’s shadow

Almost a dozen standing stones leading away in a curve towards buildings in the distance

Close of half a dozen stones from a stone circle inside the larger one surrounding the village of Avebury

One particularly nice and point standing stone with the sun in the sky behind it

Nottingham Puppet Festival today Only saw a few acts because of work but it was still fun, the heat showed a little mercy and everything seemed a big hit with kids

Two people in costumes (so not technically puppets) hugging each other. The one facing away is covered in a costume made from strips of white, yellow and red fabric. The one facing the camera is in blue with bits of red and wearing a head with blue antlers and a large black mouth held open in an expression of awe.

A large bee lady puppet controlled by someone hidden in the lower body. The bee lady has a black hat and is waving her arms.

A large tree/plant giant with grassy hair and beard and dandelions growing from its scalp. Controlled by a man inside and two women outside manipulating the arms.

A large, mechanical looking green parrot puppet on a moveable base with someone sat inside to move the wings from below.

This one which I originally thought was Kate Beaton at one time but is actually by @nauciflocci (on Instagram) and floccinaucinihilipilificationa on Tumblr

Comic (by nauciflocci) with three panels.

Panel 1: A mermaid sits on a rock, playing music.
Panel 2: A pirate observes. He says 'I don't like the thing you are doing can you do a different thing that I like'
Panel 3: The mermaid's expression shifts from boredom to disgust. She says 'I will fucking increase the fucking thing'

Only one chick this year from the local peregrine nest but it’s certainly eating for four. Just ringed a few days ago and it’s a boy! I love this humongous lad… 🔗 www.nottinghamshirewildlife.org/peregrine-cam

Aw yeah, good post day… 🪖

My hand holding a copy of the new A1 Deadline Magazine
The cover is a head shot of Tank Girl as if revived like Frankenstein with stitches across her face and bolts in her neck. Her army helmet says “Too Tough To Die” on it. Forked Lightning can be seen behind her.

A cartoon by Kliban. It depicts a man in dark glasses walking down a street with scantily clad women holding onto him from either side. Behind another woman looks on in awe with hearts emanating from her. Ahead, a large police officer is kicking another man out of the way whilst exclaiming “Out of the way, you swine! A cartoonist is coming!”

Very interested in the decision making on the novelty popcorn buckets for the 40th screenings of Top Gun that included having one for Goose…

Bought the first Omnibus of John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake’s excellent The Spectre run from the 90s and they’ve added glow in the dark elements to the dust jacket as a throw back to the occasional covers the original series had and I wasn’t expecting it to look so dramatic under the camera!

A hardcover collection of The Spectre featuring a close up of the character’s face (pure white, wearing a green hood) surrounded by skulls

Bought some books…

A stack of four books. Three paperbacks on top of a single hardback. From top to bottom they are Itch by Gemma Amor, Model Home by Rivers Solomon, Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte and Seasons of Glass & Iron by Amal El-Mohtar. The cover of the top book, Itch, is bright pink with a close up of an eye in black with the title in large black text below it. Running from the right corner of the eye down to the title are many ants in block yellow.

Bristol’s Jack-in-the-Green 🍃 is on feisty form today and while I’m not following him to his end in Horfield Common later, it’s been a privilege to see this celebration up close as it weaved through the city centre
