Decided to play around and COLOR that Galvatron piece I drew for fun yesterday. Specifically, he's colored in a style and palette reminiscent of the classic Marvel comics, as I loved those.

Right, she may have played for Birmingham City (and sadly not Aston Villa) but can you all vote for Karen Carney this evening on #strictly.
Not least because she has the most beautiful Brummie accent, and she is an absolute star and deserves to win outright.

This is my favourite way to buy books. I usually don't really know what I want until I see it.
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.
