Panel from Mr Higgins Comes Home by Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell. 

A vampire is recoiling from the professor, who is holding a golden crucifix to ward it off.

Completely my experience. Shelf and a half of *all* comics (all UK) and as they’d only stock one or two it was easy to miss a week if you weren’t careful. That’s how I ended up with 2000AD - whatever it was I went in for was sold-out so needed something else. (And good luck finding any US stuff)

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Was my big takeaway from the Louvre - easy ambling around the whole museum apart from the scrum around the Mona Lisa. Every painting in the corridors around the room was astonishing. Gotta get that selfie!

It’s a risky business doing that. Having to cancel orders because your supplier is out of stock. Though I guess inventories are more accurate these days? (I’m a bit out of touch)

Craig Dawson @dossa.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I wonder if it’s because they list stock that they might not actually have to hand? So dependant on raising an order with supplier and then bouncing the delivery out to customer? I guess Amazon are able to hold most of their inventory directly. Am guessing though.

Got another 3 of these cover recreations on the drawing board. I started them as a chance to practice and to break out of a not-drawing-slump and figured I’d stop when I thought of something better to do, but it turns out fucking around and having fun is all the reason you need.

It was cancelled suddenly (after 3 seasons) so didn’t really get much of an ending, so a special X-Files tie-in episode was used to finish things off, with a gear change episode a bit at odds with Millennium. Nice to see Mulder and Scully again, though. (Lone Gunman DVD in the queue for later)

Craig Dawson @dossa.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Just finished the long rewatch of Millennium - “what Chris Carter did next”. It’s a network Se7en to begin with, then, of course, the conspiracy storyline wheedles in. It’s nice to watch a 20 episode season show though, as you can see when the writers can start to play around with the format.

Truly, the end times. This is the business that took over the old record shop where I used to work - Mike Lloyds in Newcastle-u-Lyme. They kept it going for twenty six years. With the same carpet!

It feels like the start of something rather than the conclusion - endless legal scraps, all manner of clubs demanding some kind of restitution, a swamp of insta clips of “debates”. I’m glad they’ve been caught but even so.

Exactly. It was a mistake, apparently. Suggestion is that he didn’t read the books and just went off some descriptions handed to him. Pratchett found it funny, so it was left. (Might be bollocks but that seems to be the accepted story!)

Another reason, back when I was trying to lease units was that by accepting a lower rent, landlords feared “devaluing” their property, in terms of value, and/or whoever their mortgage was with would have very strict conditions regarding this. Upshot: empty unit.
