One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Enjoyed the Jamie Reid exhibition at the Worm Gallery in Aberdeen. Nice to see a Forbidden Planet flyer in the glass case (promoting his book Up They Rise)

I'll be in Leith tomorrow and can hand deliver if you order this evening
I never did find any copies of the new #RobertCrumb comic Tales of Paranoia in any UK shops so I ordered a bunch direct from Fantagraphics and had them shipped over from Seattle. If you want one check the link below...

As no one in the UK seems to have this book I bought some stock direct from Fantagraphics in Seattle and paid to have them shipped over here. If you want one there's an eBay listing below...

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Does anyone know where I can buy the new Robert Crumb comic, Tales of Paranoia, in Edinburgh? I tried Forbidden Planet this afternoon and they couldn't help and Deadhead is sadly no more. I know Diamond going bust has screwed up distribution but it will be a shame if I have to resort to mail order
