There are similar devices appearing in the JD 1985 annual, searching for explosives planted in citiblocks - a bit more manageable, like spy in the skies but looking like hovering noses!

My first mega-epic! Shame Alan and John got bored with it and finished it early 😿

death and despair, death and despair!

Well, they're not emos or vampires...

1986/1987?

Nope, but there was a prequel in the 1978 annual (White Fury) and cameos in other stories (but which are set so much later that they can't be the same bear).

Gotta be better than foxes screeching in the middle of the night (I like foxes, but they're pretty noisy when they're doing their murdered-baby-scream impressions).

I keep getting that as well - one person made a post about not having to work again for the rest of the year, but as I saw that three days in to 2024 it didn't have quite the same resonance as the last day of 2023...

I'd suggest Coraline (the one that Calliope has on the Tshirt) or any of the ones on this page: www.mousecircus.com/books
The person suggesting American Gods is trolling you - that's a particularly adult book.

Claims to be buddhist as well - not sure how that works.

Not sure ironic is the word, but this was all on the eve of the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht.
