This is why I still use social media - finding out astonishing facts about our planet that I otherwise had no concept of
When I wrote about the ancient Zanclean megaflood filling the Mediterranean in as little as 12-18 months (!), it was wistfully.

I'm English. Lovely place, England, but Big Geological Drama? None of that round 'ere, sadly.

Today would have been Benoit Mandelbrot’s 101st birthday… for this reader of 80s comics, his name sets off memories of Big Numbers and the British Invasion of DC (and I always loved this song!)

Jonny’s thoughts on the great comic artists are always a treat. He looks carefully and manages to bring new insights and connections to work I’ve known for years. Sharing enthusiasm and knowledge like this is what fandoms are built on

Get as many of these as you can. Then get some more to send to friends. A couple of David’s S&H strips genuinely reoriented my approach to other people (in a good way)
