I often wonder where Alan Moore got the surname Bangs from in Promethea. I'm sure it was from Lester Bangs but who knows.

A fabulous explanation about the difference between human learning and AI learning.
One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

This time round I worked straight in pen on A5 pages with a plan to tell a story about how Green Arrow inspired me to learn to cook. The only stipulations were that each page had to be completed within an hour on the day and when the story ended I was done. Here's the first page. Full post to come

It was hourly comics day yesterday and having made a mess of it the last few years just trying to record my day, I thought I'd try a different approach.

It's been almost 30 years since I laid my hands on a single issue of Tom Hart's The Sands. Today I finally get to read the whole thing.

I have some A1 sheets of paper that occasionally turn into one off, introspective comics for my own fun. One is now in progress.

Watching Star a tear Trek: prodigy. A fun show but it didn't feel like Trek until Janeway's little speech about why the crew were Starfleet in episode 9. That brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat

Is anyone else watching carol and the end of the world ? It is the most wonderfully bizarre of shows.

Interesting choices. Thompson and Martyn Definitely. Bill Nelson I was unfamiliar with but having given him a listen I can understand. Can't get behind Marr though. He's a little too late in the day for me. I'd probably go for someone super obvious like Carlus Santana.
