This stretch of Dredd, going back to Tour of Duty or Origins and going forwards to Trifecta, is so fucking strong, different from but easily matching the classic 80s era, and Day of Chaos is an amazing centerpiece to it.

Found the most 1970s British artefact ever in a charity shop. A whole book about sandwiches written by Ken Dodd, illustrated by Bill Tidy, and featuring many recipes where putting pineapple in things makes them “exotic”.

The front cover of Ken Dodd’s Butty Book. A Bill Tidy cartoon of Dodd depicts him standing between two giant slices of white bread.

The back cover with a large photo of Dodd. The text promises “over a hundred plumpshuss sandwich recipes” and “many tattyfilarious tips to brighten up your butties”

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

An astonishing letter published in the Times of London.

Headline: SAVED BY STOPPARD
Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: “If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?” With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of “adjuvant systemic chemotherapy”, and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients’ survival.

Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia.

Grant Morrison AND Philip Bond are going to be at the Lakes, should any old Vertigo heads want to get their copy of Kill Your Boyfriend signed by both legends.

The front cover of 1995 graphic novel Kill Your Boyfriend. A girl in school uniform wearing Doc Marten boots is brandishing a gun and a bottle of booza. Behind her is a psychedelic double decker bus. The book's title is in a hand-written style, atop a bright red doodle of a heart with a dagger through it.

Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3 ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken.

Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Our last payment is in February 2026. The future of the scheme is uncertain, but we're here to talk about the past and what we've accomplished these past three years.

Ian: Thanks to the B.I.A, I have expanded my skill set and learned 3D sculpting. I bought a 3D printer to make hand painted toys of my own designs.

Ian: I can afford to repair it and spent thousands in the local economy continuing to grow and create.

Ken: As for me, I've been self-publishing small books for a while, but I now have the means to release larger books, which also gave me the confidence to run two different crowdfunding campaigns.

Ken: Without it, and after failing to return to animation, I was going to start a career in I.T. I was in a bad place with no hope for the future, but almost overnight, the B.I.A made my long struggling passion into a real livelihood. Nowadays, I can travel for events, sustain car expenses and socialise without managing my spending. In darker times, I was about to pay all the vet bills for my dying cat.

Nah, there were seriously cooking out here in 1957. The sheer interplay of text and image out here, the way the ball becomes the vehicle for the lettering in page 2, while also carrying weight as an object in story, then that V-Diamond in page 3...my god. Takahashi Macoto, I bow to you. 🙇🙇

5 panel page by Takahashi Macoto, from The Rows Of Cherry Trees

We see three women spotlighted in the middle, and the first panel announces they're the finalists for a ping-pong tournament. And then the crowd goes wild in the final panel

Three panel page with two girls playing Ping Pong, while the little ball floats through the page getting bigger and bigger, also serving as the lettering vehicle

The two women continue to play ping pong, with a diamond at the heart of the page being the lettering vehicle, and a sparking light at its team indicating their clash, while they're in a V-shaped purple background of conflict, with the white space above the V filled with text also

Two panel page, the two girls continue to play ping pong, we see only one in panel one, while a big balloon carries text about the proceedings. A white pong ball behind her like the moon makes her look almighty. Then we see two girls, with a heart-shaped in-set white panel in between them, serving as a lettering vehicle and an image display of another girl
