Have been writing the https://OiNK.blog for four years and am now spreading my wings into other mediums. Will be chronicling my attempts here. 48 - Belfast, Ireland. Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-2865-2006-8998
Do you remember these being in every comic you read as a kid? Did you also ignore them every time? 😂 The last part of my look at the 80s real ads inside OiNK is up now: oink.blog/2026/02/28/p...
Getting the Easter treats in for the kid. 😂

Last night’s bedtime reading. Review coming this week to the OiNK Blog (Spoiler: you’ll be wanting to buy this!) 😂🤣

2 covers that take me back! My favourite Ghostbusters & the epic Starscream-centred storyline I loved so much. Inside was the Mighty Marvel UK Checklist with a smorgasbord of quality reads. Do you remember any of these?
More details and access to the full series here: oink.blog/2026/03/04/t... 📚✅🐽
4/4: Week 55
Both rollers work perfectly, and the weight of this finished piece alone is proof this is going to be a QUALITY model!
3/4: Week 55
For the first time in ages I also got to take out the testing kit! Video in next part because Bluesky still won’t allow us to mix media types. 🙄

Received another motor, so completed another roller section.

Not the ‘Super Savers Club’ on TV these days, but a prettily painted advert for Barclays Bank for the kids… for when they developed a gambling addiction from the betting ads in our 80s comics! The last part of our look at the real ads inside OiNK is up now: oink.blog/2026/02/28/p... 🏦🎰🐽
Who else loved being terrified by The Doll as a kid? On this day in 1988 the final issue of the surprisingly superb #SuperNaturals #comic hit UK newsstands. I reviewed the series in real time on my OiNK Blog a few years back, you can check it out here: oink.blog/2022/03/01/s... 👻💀🐽
The OiNK’s Real Ads series closes with a bunch of random ads from our fave 80s comic. From practical jokes and stamp collecting, to bank accounts and betting(!), take a trip back to your own childhood, or visit a very strange time for the younger ‘uns out there. My latest OiNK Blog post below 🃏✉️🥚🏦🎰🐽
Even with an incredible story in the pages of #Transformers, the #MarvelUK checklist still gave the same #comic as last week top billing. But that didn’t dull any impact The Underbase Saga had! Do you these issues?

2/2: Week 54 #DalekDay
Combining more roller parts too. Can’t wait to see these in action.

Attaching more motors holders to another solid metal rod. This model IS quality!

My favourite title was the Christmas episode: Silent Knight
From that point on an awful lot of the episode names had some form of “Knight” pun 😂
lol. Believe it or not just a regular episode, called Knightmares. As a kid there were a lot of episodes that stayed in my head as if they were big important ones that had to be 2-parters or movies, but weren’t. That one is definitely in my list of faves, although it’s a big list.
On this day in 1994 G.I. Joe returned to Transformers Generation 2 and it was a belter of an issue! Check out Simon Furman’s tale, drawn by the incredible Derek Yaniger, Manny Galan, Jim Amash and Sarra Mossoff on the OiNK Blog, and then check out the whole series! 🌌🪐🚚🤖🐽

Well as Michael Long he was shot in the face at night lol. “The bullet bounced off a military metal skull plate and came out through his face”!!! On BluRay it’s actually shocking the splatter we see! Loved the episodes that centred on his having a different face/identity. (Sorry, biggest fan lol)
Everything is better with a cat.
I got my first short story published in Northern Ireland’s Impspired Magazine last year! You can find out all about it and what I’m working on next here: oink.blog/2026/02/21/w...
Cheers! Although it’s been rearranged again since so the cat has a perch at the window 😂
I’ve decided to make a diary of my writing during 2026. This is an important year. If I don’t get the ball rolling now I never will. So here’s my introduction to it all.

Perfect wee Saturday afternoon 🐈⬛🛏️🦈📘❤️

Just knowing he’s there makes me feel so cosy in bed… so hard to get up! #caturday
Some of the images from this month’s Aliens real time review. Check out more of this penultimate issue of the 90s UK comic on the OiNK Blog: oink.blog/2026/02/17/a... 👽🦷🦷🐽
#aliens #aliencomic #mikemignola #hrgiger #90scomics
EDIT (wrong link!): The penultimate issue of Dark Horse’s UK #Aliens comic made some changes to its lineup that would’ve left readers frustrated. Some superb strip art, terrifying moments and a writer hedging their bets on Laserdisc… it’s all in the latest real time review now up on the blog. 👽🦷🦷
One of my fave spooks donned the cover to The Real Ghostbusters today back in 1989, & one of my favourite storylines returned to Transformers and Action Force. No checklist this week, but we do get a new Marvel UK ad. Do you remember any of these?
