Today is the birthday of George Reeves (Jan. 5, 1914-June 16, 1959). Actor, director, and my first Superman.

Outre les biographies d'Hergé par B. Peeters et Ph. Goddin, la journaliste Anne-Louise Sautreuil conseille mon livre "Tintin au-delà des idées reçues" 🙏

The following year humans walked on the Moon. Around twenty years later, Voyager would send us the Pale Blue Dot image, our world, but now seen from the cold, distant edge of our solar system, barely a pixel, floating in a sunbeam.

No wonder I grew up a space geek...

#Christmas Eve, 1968. Three humans are further from home than anyone in our entire history.

As the crew of Apollo 8 rounded the dark side of the Moon, they saw a sight never seen by human eyes before: Earthrise.

#Apollo #Noel
The Earth rising above the Lunar surface, the first time viewed by a human being, our world a vibrant blue glow in the velvet blackness of space.

UK is VERY familiar with this song this time of year, but not sure the rest of the world is as aware of the greatest Christmas track of all time…

I happen to share a birthday with the great Rosemary Sutcliff, born 105 years ago today. Her historical fiction books (largely what we'd now call YA) are wonderful, spotlighting life in Britain from the stone age onwards, with a lot of emphasis on Roman and Sub-Roman. 1/2

I consider myself a Wally Wood fan (with several originals of my own) but... I didn't know about this. Apparently in the early 60's Wally pitched a Sunday newspaper strip showcasing famous people, and made up some presentation pieces, like this one.

For some reason that link triggers security warnings on Safari, so I just googled real quick and found a second article covering the research paper.

I’m wondering if any children’s publishers need a freelance writer to write reading scheme books for them or branded picture books etc? I’ve written reading scheme books for Star Wars and Disney before! Any shares would be amazing!

I can't find my glasses.
Our tiny little tabby cat, Willow, curled up on a cream striped knitted blanket on the arm of the sofa. She's lying on my glasses, they're lens down, arms up, so the arms are on either side of her front legs.

Really lovely. I hope she loves them too and just doesn’t realise that other people might.

Dear @mooseallain.bsky.social , my Mum Gill Brown, a local Exeter artist, is so unconvinced of her talent that I had to rescue several of these from a charity shop this week. I think they're superb, no?

Thanks to everyone who jumped on this! If you missed your chance, I'll probably open the store again sometime in late November for Xmas-type ordering.

I made a Godzilla zine earlier this year but I never put it for sale online. I'm opening up my store today if you're interested in getting a copy! Act fast, I'll probably close shop up again tomorrow. littlehousecomics.bigcartel.com

David Bromberg - I Like To Sleep Late In The Morning

Chatting with the audience without missing a beat of that intricate picking pattern. The man makes it look easy, which it damned sure isn't. his left thumb looks like it's both telescopic & double-jointed.
