I vote for a huge flashing neon sign saying what Janey Godley’s placard said.
EXCLUSIVE: Sean Duffy will announce expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, his first major action as interim NASA administrator.

I’ll be at the Auld Alliance Comics Festival at the French Institute in Edinburgh this Sunday 6th July, talking about the Glasgow Looking Glass. Did you know that Thomson and Thompson, the detectives from the Tintin comics are called Nisbet and Nesbit in the Scots translations of the books?

An unexpected pleasure this evening was meeting someone who appears in one of my true war comics. In ‘Raid on the Forth’, the little boy with his brother on the beach is Richard Demarco, co-founder of Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre and long-time proponent of the Edinburgh Festival.
