I’m drawing a book full of anthropomorphic animals, so ended up looking up Zootropolis on the internet, and hoooooooo boy, lemme tell you it turns out that film certainly has its fans.

I really wish that we could’ve at least had a decent roaring 20’s before the world went to hell in a handcart.

‘You are not at the table, you are on the menu’ is 100% going to be the title or header quote of the introduction to the book about what is coming next.
In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

Nerina Pallot’s ‘Eveybody’s Gone To War’ just randomly popped up in my song queue, and:
A. It’s a good song
B. I think even my algorithm might be having an existential crisis at this point

There’s one thing that bugs me about the GRRM thing - the discussions about his health/lifespan/fan entitlement are all incredibly gross & insensitive - however he’s explicitly talked about leaving a legacy like Tolkien’s. But, if he genuinely does want that, there’s only one way to achieve that.
I sort of feel sorry for Martin, who talked a huge game about fantasy and other people’s world-building, but who has embarked on what is visibly a project too ambitious for anyone to actually ever finish.

Just got my PLR statement through, which is lovely, however - & I maybe massively wrong here - it feels like a bit of a weird system that doesn’t really target the people who need it?
For context: PLR is the payment artists & writers get per library loan. The maximum you can earn from it is £6,600.

Currently incredibly stressed due to the workload of making comics, so I’m going to treat myself to an hour off later tonight, where I plan to try and unwind by reading comics, and why does my brain hate me like this?

I genuinely am never going to be able to get over the fact that all this is happening under President Fart. I’ve watched 80’s Saturday morning cartoons with more subtlety than this.

At the point where I think the main criteria to get on this series of Traitors was that contestants must have not developed a sense of object permanence.
absolutely ADORE the fact that Harriet essentially banishing herself has already been forgotten about and hasn't changed the gameplay at ALL #TheTraitors

Argh - I’m generally anti-prose work being adapted into comics, however: Front Desk is one of my favourite children’s books ever.
It might not be out for a few months but this is a very exciting development!

It’s really bloody wonderful to be living in a space of time where you’re constantly wondering if you’re going to wake up in the morning and find that the history book about this period has moved on from the introductory chapter to the main text.

This is the weirdest series of Traitors I’ve seen. I’m not sure there’s been one where they’ve had the correct names for so long, and yet got it so completely and utterly incorrect in execution.

I’ve kind of constantly read Calvin & Hobbes since I was about 12 years old, but boy has becoming a parent changed my relationship with it. I love it, but it also sort of makes me a little sad now - Calvin’s parents never play with him, or engage with him on his level.
