#173 Hallowe’en

Oct31
by on 2010-10-31 at 17:43
Chapter:

I wonder that if you really believe in Hallowe’en, and if you happen not to be dead (or undead) yet, then “happy” isn’t really the appropriate adjective for this evening’s unnatural occurrences. More likely “scared witless”. So, if you are planning to celebrate around about now: Happy Hallowe’en, Samuin, Calan Gaeaf, or whatever else you may choose not to believe in at this time of year.

PS I notice frequent comment contributor mpj has been getting into the Hallowe’en spirit, with this cheerful and irony-free sign in front of a graveyard.

#165 Heads I Win

Oct03
by on 2010-10-03 at 20:29
Chapter:

Good weekend for comic-related activities. I attended the inaugural meeting of the Oxford (sequential art not stand-up) Comic Creators Society, yet to be officially named. The proctors and high officials paraded us from our swearing-in ceremony at the Sheldonian Theatre to our meeting place at the Far from the Madding Crowd pub, according to the regulations decreed by Henry VIII. Thanks to Luke Surl and Amy Letts for organising it.

And today I went to a lecture on Manga Monsters by Paul Gravett at the Ashmolean, where they have a temporary exhibition of 19th century Japanese comics. Both the talk and the exhibition were amazingly interesting.

↓ Transcript
1. (hi!) [hello!]
2. (notice anything different about me?) [no]
3. (come on, you're not even trying)
4. [um ... you've grown an extra head?]
5. (oh really!)
6. ((how did you guess?))
