This sequence from D’Aulaire book “Trolls” embodies motherhood to me. 👶🏼 I love the look on the troll mother’s face in the last 2 panels. My parents must have read this to me when I was very young

Ended up with my dad’s lovely 1930s globe with old-time versions of all the countries on it 🌍 Apparently he inherited it from his aunt

Really enjoying “Metropole” by Ferenc Karinthy. Extremely Dreamland (to me) absurdist novel of a man who takes the wrong plane and ends up in an impossibly large unknown city where no one speaks his language. A bit Twilight Zone, a bit JG Ballard, with a tiny bit more hope (still reading tho!)

Always been a big fan of Allan Servoss’s weird illustrations for the 1975 Arkham House edition of Gary Myers’ “The House of the Worm”. Just learned Servoss passed away (1947-2024) after a long career as an art teacher and landscape painter who occasionally drew monsters. RIP.

Dreamland #ttrpg Notes: the Skai is plagued by drought; the Carpenter and the Witch go looking for wood for the priests' sacrifical pyre; trip to Nir; chosen for sacrifice by the locals; the locals are Persuaded; return to Nir; the mad high priest of Nath-Horthath; Ulthar burns to the ground (!!)
