Comics, ttrpg, board games, guitars and music.
This comic by @streakofpith.bsky.social is small but deep with meaning, like a short, dense poem. For any patent it will touch you deep down to your core. I've read and reread this numerous times now and cannot get it out of my head.

Wonderful stuff.

Polyvinyl acetate paint on hardboard

(This is a big painting that is near impossible to look at close up. To get a tiny sense of what it does, zoom in on this photo so it fills your screen, and then try to focus on it. Hijinks will ensue in your eyeball situation.)

“If I can give you one piece of health advice for 2026, it is this: look after your back. If I could give you a second piece of advice, it would be not to mix Jagermeister with battered cod on a night out, but mostly it would be the back thing.”

"Carol Singers", a Claughton Pellew wood engraving from December 19th 1930’s Radio Times. A masterpiece, I feel entirely safe in suggesting.

Really interesting report on an artist I was totally unaware of. This celebration of these little known British artists is most welcome. Quite often overshadowed by their European and US counterparts, we need to become more aware of them and their legacy.
George Fyffe Christie, aka G.F. Christie, isn’t going to be a comic creator many will have heard of, despite his long career in creating humorous cartoons for over fifty years.
