Wishing everyone a Happy 2025 from the Dead Zoo!

A new account for a new year - and we have a lot to share from our big decant project, as we prepare for our major building project to improve access and the environmental conditions in our 1856 building.

Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States.

“I’ll finish this thing or die trying.”
Art Spiegelman Won’t Shrink Back From Controversy
The artist has illustrated more than one contentious New Yorker cover in his career, chronicled in a new film, and his next project will be no less gutsy.

I've put together an 'Ireland - Nature & Climate Starter Pack' with just a few of those I feel are working hardest to champion wild nature and a stable climate on this island.

Of course, it's very far from comprehensive: I'll be adding to it over time!

Y'know how folks have a tradition of automatically reposting that video of Tom Holland lipsyncing to "Umbrella"?

Petition to do the same thing with this classic vid of Meryl Streep and Tracey Ullman singing "Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl" with Broken Social Scene

Yes, people will post pictures on social media of sleeping arrangements on Xmas Eve and I will once again attempt to leverage this to raise money for charity — just pinning this to my profile to head off the relentless (i.e. sporadic) enquiries

We’re a week into Ireland’s #GE24 campaign and there’s lots of talk of not only who will top the poll, but what small parties or independents will be asked to ‘make up the numbers’ and form a coalition government.

Vote left transfer left!

Little Deer may not survive another landlord government so here’s hoping Ireland’s election goes better than America’s.

Open until 1 & 3-5 today but voting is more important so do that first and then you can buy a comic as a civic duty treat
