One of mine from the Easter edition of @privateeyenews.bsky.social Private Eye Magazine. The next issue is out tomorrow (Wed 30th).

Cartoon- at the scene of the crucifixion an onlooker in the crowds says "Well, it's about time they got rid of all this woke crap"

One of mine for the current new look @bigissue.com out now. Grab a copy from your local vendor when you see one.

Cartoon - A couple are at a restaurant. The woman says to her partner "Darling, when did we become one of those couples who don't talk when they go out to dinner?" Her partner across the table is a mime artist pretending to sit on a chair and hold a glass of wine.

Hoping he has the only Monopoly collection. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Experience: I own the world’s largest Monopoly collection

Every set is exciting. I’ve currently got 4,379 different ones. The dream is to hit 4,500, maybe even 5,000

Ahh I didn't know that it was the 125th birthday of Alistair Sim on Thursday. There's a memorial stone at Edinburgh's Filmhouse @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social marking the place (or near as) of his birth.

I watched The Tron last week on Disney+ and it looked amazing. Has it just been really scrubbed up or has it been mucked about with?

DIO @danielirizarri.bsky.social · 1d

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

Think it's getting a cinema release again soon. I was a bit put off at the time with his blazer wearing scenes. I thought he looked like John Stapleton.

Monarch. "Have you been meddling with my monopticons? If there is one thing I will not stand is my monopticons being meddled with."

Lost it so many times in that today. I think this is the one to be preserved at the British Library. Portuguese knighthood FFS. Thanks.

Sorry to see John Woodvine has gone. I watched 'The Armageddon Factor' a week or two ago and he was probably the best thing in it. A wonderful actor with such a great voice.

That took me a criminal amount of time. Good. My brain obviously needs some exercise considering I watched Time Heist this week and struggled with the clue. Thanks 👍
