My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

We've been working a lot with ink this #Inktober but it is nice to be reminded of other tools that we love.
The wonderful Pencil Magazine has a second edition and it reconnects with the tactility of graphite.

Why the fuck can't pharmaceutical companies agree on which end of the box should be opened to get to the lovely drugs inside without having to pull the leaflet out of the way first? Sometimes it's the end with the batch details, sometimes not. Come on, drug dealers, sort it out.

To commemorate the iconic CHEAP PAINT sign that was lost in the fire, we've taken the letters from it and used them to create a digital font called CHEAP PAINT INSIDE!
This isn't a joke! You can download it yourself to have a go with it! Link in comments!

Gerry Anderson's CANDY (1967) comic was the result of a planned but abandoned TV series. Nothing to see here, just Candy and Andy, two life-sized human dolls, living with a married Panda couple in photo stories that exuded some serious vibes (1/2)

Another storm, and more substantial bits of The Tree has landed in our and our neighbours' garden. We're on to insurance (doesn't cover fences) and Sandwell Council ("not our problem"). Most of it is still standing and dangerous - who do we get to fix this before there's serious damage or injury?
