Adios, Sal Buscema.

The man knew how to put physical drama on the page. His Cap, Spidey, and Hulk were kinetic, full-on heroes in motion, and the things he did on ROM still haunt me (in a good way) to this day.

Last night in Blighty. Home tomorrow, to hug my wife and kids.

We don’t need his love.

Popping by my favorite London theater to see a little something-something.

Wandering Strand. Looked right. Somerset House.

Look. If you never have, get yourself to London for a visit. It’s fairly affordable compared to other places (more so in the off season), and while spending a bit of money helps, there’s plenty of free things to do.

You could spend a lifetime finding new things in London.

So, @joerybicki.com… the inside of the Walkie Talkie Building is the good kind of ridiculous. I’d rate I higher than the Empire State Building simply because there’s more than enough seating for everyone.

(The Sky Garden is the to three floors.)

I don’t know if anyone is watching Mike Johnson addressing Parliament, but I think it’s dawning on everyone here that he’s not here to help, but to lecture and insist on Trumpian reality.

Because nobody is applauding.

(Not even when we quotes Thatcher.)

Ni-night from London.

There’s a Tube station called Monument—just “Monument.” It’s for this…The Monument, a colossal Doric column smack between office and apartment towers, commemorating the Great London Fire.

In my line of work, we call this “brand inconsistency.” Should be “THE Monument” always or never.

The actual London Bridge, not the fake one everyone thinks is London Bridge.

This is why you need to commit yourself to wandering In London.
