i can't read mills any more.
i wish someone had told my young self not to have heroes - y'know, marshal law or the like.

the first series was serialised in comics scene - as it gradually metamorphosed into shift - and was very much at home there.

full tilt boogie, wolfie smith, daily dredds, disaster 1990, a ron smith collection, a book of greatest covers and, yes, a tharg the mighty volume. as well as the dan dare that obviously won't happen.

"How do you do a Dredd strip without the original Dredd?"

ask blake.

the words on the cover are, as usual, a distraction.
however, if they'd run with just a "HOPE RETURNS" tagline, that would have been pretty cool, intriguing (to the uninitiated) and timely.

what. a. cover.

the electable starmer will win on a wet tory manifesto that will do very little for the dispossessed and the ill.

the so-called unelectable corbyn needed just 2227 more votes in 2017 to become pm on a manifesto that would have been genuinely transformative and progressive. so it can be done. just 2227.

labour has become tory-lite, again, in order to become electable (they sung the anthem at conference, for the first time ever, to this end). they will win, due to truss. but, no, they couldn't give a toss about those who have nothing at all.

governments can't do anything, good or bad?

thank goodness. kwasi kwarteng and the evil of this week is all an illusion. i was quite worried, for a moment ...

it's the right to bear flintlock muskets.

bayeux tapestry?

dave gilmour, meanwhile, reconvened the (thankfully watersless) band and has been raising money and morale for ukraine. dave also has a ukrainian daughter-in-law. i kind of regret the 2005 reunion gig now - it's clear who has the soul and the vibe.

imho.
