I beg your pardon, I see I'm about the 25th person to say this

I do know what you mean. There are plenty of accounts here where I think, "I respect you/find you entertaining, but you're dead wrong about this particular thing." But that's true of real life as well.
βPookie Pooch in βWhatβs for Dinner?ββ is an eight-page autobio comic drawn by @hotelfred.bsky.social and written by myself.

I quite enjoy Bluesky myself, but the dominant hatred/distrust of the BBC here never seems to reckon with what abomination would replace it if it were gone.
Bizarro's first appearance in the newspaper strip (slightly before his first comic appearance, I think?) has him with a B on his chest as well. They might have taken their cue from that.

Heβs got that stripe in the Aparo run!
"The UK has got windmills all over the place that are ruining the country, ruining the beautiful fields. A magician lives in them, and he solves locked room murders with the lady from Men Behaving Badly. He is a disgusting individual. Long curly hair, very unkempt, very very disrespectful."
That's a great book! The only letdown is the superhero stuff, which seems to have been chosen for its historical significance rather than its quality β but there are only a few stories that affects, and the rest of it is solid gold.
Ron Goulart wrote a series of "Groucho Marx, Detective" books which are rather fun.

I like this very much. It's going into the mental box along with "writing in pictures" for whenever I try to articulate whatever the hell it is we do.
One of the seven here. Appreciated.
I get that, I was paraphrasing something he said over the weekend.
The issue that is most astonishing is that a fascist like Nigel Farage is allowed to run a political party in UK elections. I am well aware many people will find this to be shattering news. Some will even find it difficult to believe. But I have checked this out legally and I am right.
payday today so the perfect time to consider backing our unique strip anthology Stripwire Presents with just seven days left to run and not quite funded yet

Sadly, I fall into both categories. So I have both the baldness and the luxurious hair, but mainly from my ears and nostrils.
Ohh yes. Learned that the hard way. Cloud and on-site backups for all my work.
Bloody hell. Iβm still running Mojave on my Intel laptop, too many apps I use every day that wonβt work if I upgrade (which I canβt afford to do anyway). Dreading the day the thing finally dies.
