The people who make @oglaf.bsky.social are just over the ditch in AUSTRALIA?? And they name drop FOOTROT FLATS in this interview???
My latest at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: I talked to @oglaf.bsky.social! Not the character, but rather, the people who create it.
They don't do many interviews, so this was a real treat. They're funny people! Turns out they're not super private, just...really bad at PR?

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

Just started Earthborne Rangers for the first time with Miss 12. We found Hy Pimpot at Topside Mast and glided to White Sky just after a Caustic Mulcher appeared, then gave away all our biscuits. Now we are on our way to Mount Nim to see who we can find to help. A good start to the #boardgame !

Had a great time playing a fishing boardgame with my kids and nephew on the weekend, until he pulled the ocean's plug and we all had to scramble for fish.

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest.
He wants a conversation where we agree with him.

As unofficial town sorcerer, I do have the ability to enter the dreams of townspeople, but I only have the power to pick up candy wrappers or crumpled-up pieces of paper when I'm there. I can sometimes make dream-clouds look slightly like ducks.

Walking my groceries back to the car today and passed a car with ita boot wide open. Hung around on my phone for about 15 minutes until the guy returned. He was very surprised that he'd left it open!

I was able to just wander into a local pharmacy worth no booking and left after the waiting period, easy as
Whanau, I did it. Unbelievably, I was born between 1968 and 2004. I couldn’t be sure I’d had 2 measles vaccinations (I definitely had one, it’s in my plunket book).
So, I had an MMR booster last week. If you, like me, aren’t sure, go and get one. They’re free and you can book via bookmyvaccine.

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.
