Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.
Spot Alan Moore in his 6th form Northampton Grammar School photo, taken two days before he was expelled

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Recorded on the night train from Kyiv to Lviv. I didn't know Kyiv had suffered a maximum effort Russian attack on energy infrastructure: Shahed drones, air-launched ballistic missiles & Iskander ballistic missiles. Power still being restored #StandWithUkraine

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.
If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total).
If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow.
P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"
