I've launched a new YouTube channel about TV and film that you may not have seen that's worth your time. And to kick it off, a beautifully creepy Ian McKellen story - Dying Day, part of the Armchair Thriller series.

The Mystery Talks have been so much fun. You come along and get two presenters talking about things they're passionate about - and you only find out the topics when they start! And we have a full bar.

Loved volume one. Been hoping Courier Z would be revisited again some time soon. So many good Kickstarters coming this year it seems
Busy session in the pub reading over @dchopkins.bsky.social's letters for the new Courier Z book! We're nearly done, and it's as fun-yet-sad as ever.
Kickstarter coming... alarmingly soon, sign up for prelaunch now.

Well, it's a library copy, so its covered in plastic and the front page has been ripped out (presumably cos it had a bunch of admin stuff on).
But also it didn't cost me £100 like every other copy.
(And yes, of course the book was clones.)

COLUMBO: My wife, she loves your games. The sunken ghost ship level. It’s her favourite
MARIO: Thank-a you!
C: Just one more thing. Now you say your girlfriend, the Princess, was kidnapped by Bowser, your enemy. And yet you were go-karting with him this morning?

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Just ran through my upcoming mysterious Mystery Talk with unbiased test audience @juliannebenford.bsky.social! Book now and you too could hear my in-depth analysis of... whatever it is.
Doing a Mystery Talk at @allgoodbookshop.co.uk next Friday 13th! Come along and hear me talk about... a mysterious topic that will probably be adjacent to comics. (The ones I've read, not the ones I make.)

Volume 1 is a super fun read that really plays into the strengths of world-building and character harnessing through shortly-told comics. Hits all the right notes of darkly comic space action with some real emotional tugs. Looking forward to V2!
Courier Z v2 is coming soon to Kickstarter, which means an updated edition of our stickersheet of stamps! With all new art, but still not legal tender for sending letters!
Only available on the Kickstarter, so pre-register now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nic...
