I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...
The Village Message Board

When I was a lad, growing up in Blighty, a 'slash' was called an 'oblique'. Let's have a show of hands for a return to that form. There would, of course, be a need to introduce 'reverse oblique' in place of 'backslash'.

If it's a choice between raspberries and blueberries, then blueberries are just the bridesmaids.
If it's a choice between raspberries, blueberries, and mince pies, then raspberries are on a sticky wicket. Especially if there's custard. Which there isn't, tonight.

I am interested in working with an artist on a graphic novel on soil and/ or global environmental change. The lab would have money to fund this.
Do you know of any graphic artists that would be interested?
