Masterpiece. Now's a great time to watch it, if you haven't ever before.

An old friend paid for us to see The Lady Boys of Bangkok, on this day in 2019. At least a quarter of it was spent avoiding eye contact with Tina Turner for fear of being dragged from your seat & having your trousers pulled down while you tried to sing "In The Navy" to a theatre full of strangers.
One of The Lady Boys of Bangkok, dressed as Tina Turner, belts out "Simply The Best" while dancing across a theatre stage with a painted red heart backdrop. The trip was paid for by an old friend who was trying to tick off as many items from his dying Mother-in-Law's bucket list as he possibly could. He did her proud.

Japan's best stop-motion studio isn't loud about it. But the quiet charm of its work speaks for itself.

We're exploring the specialness of dwarf studios in this issue:

"The Treachery of Imitations"
Made for b3ta's 'Sci-Fi Art' image challenge on this day in 2018.
Magritte's 'The Treachery of Images' which usually shows a cool smoker's pipe with the words "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe) underneath it, except I've swapped the pipe for the husky from John Carpenter's 'The Thing'. The wording underneath now reads "Ceci n'est pas un chien" (This is not a dog).

Putting this out there. Took me far longer than I expected.
The chances of me getting the next four parts done by Christmas are slim to nil, but I'll see how well this one goes.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF - AGING MAN (1977): An alarming, and alarmist, PIF warning of the dangers of overeating stodgy food and not exercising enough. Oh, and peer pressure. Don't succumb to peer pressure, kids!

From this day in 2020.
The album cover for Prince's 'Purple Rain', but the night-time image of Prince on his motorbike in a rain-streaked alley has been altered to show him as Judge Dredd on a Lawmaster bike. The figure at the top of the stairs, leaning out of the doorway, is now Judge Death. The vertical sidebars on the cover which used to show a selection of flowers on a white background have been swapped for tumbling shell casings from spent bullets. The album title is now 'Judge Dredd'.

My favourite thing about today is the amount of posts I've seen using my image of Pope Leo with overly large shoulder pads - which I specifically made to accompany my reference to him singing Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" - as if it's the original photo.
Eddie Murphy stuffs bananas up a car's exhaust pipe at night. Not a euphemism.

The famous Monkeemobile we all know and love, unsold models were later repurposed as the Fonz Dream Rod, which funnily enough never appeared in Happy Days. They've rebadged it, Lynn!

Judge Mortis. From this day in 2010.
Judge Mortis, one of the Dark Judges and occasional Judge Dredd botherer. He's got a cow skull for a head, with a sickly green dust emanating from his hands and eye sockets. He's dressed in a distressed leather judge's outfit that has numerous tears which show the rotting skeletal form underneath. I wouldn't shake his hand if I were you.

"I've never seen a guy get picked up by his testicles before."

'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' is on BBC2 at 22.00, tonight. A great way to spend 90 minutes while simultaneously easing yourself into the festive season.
The 4 panel Drake meme, but Drake has been swapped for the hotel clerk from "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". In the top left panel, he's all smiles because the top right panel contains Neal's $17 and a hell of a nice watch. He's not so happy in the bottom left panel because the bottom right panel only contains Del's $2 and a Casio watch.

🎶And you may ask yourself
"Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself
"My God! What have I done?"🎶
A photo of Pope Leo XIV on the mic surrounded by fellow God-bods and journalists. His shoulder pads are now comically oversized, in homage to David Byrne's Noh-inspired Talking Heads tour jacket.
