A page called The History Of Music Channel have completely plagiarised one of my Dad's well known cartoons and are claiming it as their work.
What's possibly worse is I have a feeling they used Al to rip him off!
Hi @amazon one of your delivery people dumped this big square bag in my road. I want to claim it as my own. If you dont respond within 7 days i will take that as permission to both resell it and use it in ways you didnt authorise. If you dump it, you dont get to make the rules

Yes, kids still read comics "nowadays".
No, it would not be a good idea to bring corporal punishment back into the Beano.
There's no 'p' in DC Thomson.
No, comics are not "drawn by computer" these days.
Hope that helps. 😄
Tomorrow - i'm on in Sudbury as part of a great evening of poetry and spoken word and FUN. Not too pricey either! Come along if you're in the area. I'll be giving away a few books too
This is a great scheme - congratulations to all those in the quarterfinals!
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to submit to our 2025 call out. We received 400 entries & were generally bowled over by the quality of the writing. We are excited to now announce our quarterfinalists here: femalepilotclub.co.uk/2025sc…
This is nuts. In London alone she already has a big park and a shiny new tube line named for her. A chunk of Antarctica the size of Britain is called Queen Elizabeth Land. How many memorials does one person need?

Brain/tech link in science fiction: "I know kung fu!"
What we'll actually get:
"I have a monthly subscription to knowing kung fu and they just hiked the charges again and I still keep getting unskippable ads in the middle of kung fu"
I have 5 litres of fake blood i'd like to get rid of. About 70 quidsworth. What I'd *like* to do is, donate them to someone heroically making a zero-budget horror movie on a wing and a prayer. Is that u or someone u know? Who can collect from an N10 address? DMs are open!
As today's her birthday, today I remember Debbie Barham, a comedy writer of my generation who died very young. As far as I know, she was the youngest broadcast comedy writer there ever was or will be. 17 when she turned pro!
