Going home on a 125 like it's the 1980s. Young me would have been drinking Stella and smoking Silk Cut

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've only ever read one Galaxus story, the one in the 1976 Buster Book which made a big impression on young me

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

Today's Ripley's Believe It Or Not with the colour guide showing. Is it like this in the newspapers or just the one sent out by @officialgocomics.bsky.social?
