“You’ll be visited by three spirits…”
The three spirits:
@michaelmay.bsky.social,
@paxholley.com, and
The Ghost of Christmas Doofuses.
“Um, and they’ll probably stay for six hours or so talking about what they’ve been watching, reading, listening to, and thinking about. God bless us, everyone?”

Michael's review of Graphic Classics, Volume 6
3/5: I've been hot and cold on the Ambrose Bierce short stories I've read. My reaction to this collection of comics adaptations of his work is consistent with that. In fact, I was mostly negative on i...

A ★★★★★ review of Pride & Prejudice (2005)
The 1995 mini-series will always be the definitive version for me, but the production value and sheer spectacle of Joe Wright's adaptation is glorious and Knightley is really freaking good. I mean, ev...

You know what’s ripe for a comeback is the Wolves of Willoughby Chase series by Joan Aiken. Smart & non-condescending YA, fantastical without being fantasy, dark and Dickensian as hell, extremely lefty and anticapitalist, a full dozen sequels, amazing Edward Gorey covers.

Teen Diana has apparently started introducing herself as Wonder Girl. She's just met this merkid and that's what he's calling her.

The Goblin cave drawings and Goblin alphabet that Tolkien created for one of his Father Christmas's letters for his children.
Both were drawn in 1932 when he was working on "The Hobbit", and some of the creatures from that manuscript bled to his Christmas letters.

I wish I liked The Bat-Man: First Knight more. That's a cool idea, but the story is generic. It's fun seeing Mike Perkins draw that original costume though.
Finished the first arc in Sandman Mystery Theatre and am falling in love with that series all over again.
