40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Does anyone know where I can buy the new Robert Crumb comic, Tales of Paranoia, in Edinburgh? I tried Forbidden Planet this afternoon and they couldn't help and Deadhead is sadly no more. I know Diamond going bust has screwed up distribution but it will be a shame if I have to resort to mail order

Saw this book in the Pennypit free library. Someone has cut out one of the naked ladies on the cover. Not sure if it's censorship or if the previous owner just couldn't bear to let her go

Saw Jeffrey Lewis manning his merch stall at La Belle last night and realised that for once I didn't have a copy of my own comic which I could have given him.
The gig was great and the third song was about how everything people give him ends up in the trash so probably all for the best ;-)

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Does anyone remember the late 80s/early 90s poster campaign on South Yorkshire buses (or maybe trains) with a famous boxer of the time (possibly Nigel Benn) threatening he would like to meet the people who cut up bus seats?
