Equal parts excited and anxious about this! I’m a big dark materials fan but I still can’t quite figure out if I enjoyed Secret Commonwealth so let’s see about this! Anyone else reading it already?

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

More about the object itself, but unless it’s a valuable, hardback edition of something, I am NOT going to take good care of the book. It will be folded and thrown and crammed and cracked.

I made a riddle puzzle for the lovely folk at Big Potato Games. It is a food based puzzle where you can put it together and then figure out which foods I drew in a silly round-about way.

When the Roger Rabbit short ROLLER COASTER RABBIT was produced by Disney & Amblin, Spielberg wanted it packaged with ARACHNOPHOBIA. Michael Eisner wanted to release it with DICK TRACY & ultimately won out. Its a shame Spielberg & Disney only made 3 Roger Rabbit shorts because they were immaculate.

This is pure magic. The animation alone is magic, but then the details of this moment, bringing a kid to bed, the little habits. You know they’ve done this hundreds of times already together. Beautiful.
Man, the way the blanket hangs in the air after she tucks him in, and the well-observed efficiency of her digging behind his pillow to find the toy, without that action taking up TOO much time or hewing so close to any filmed reference that it threatens to get distractingly heavy and *real*.

Born Floppy
This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

Not that it’s ok either, but I kind of expect it from new authors generating images and self publishing… but a massive, well known publishing house like DK doing it really hurts to see. Can’t afford an illustrator to make your book not look like dogshit? Absolutely disgraceful
Shame on DK Books for using such an obviously generated image for this book cover.
