The following year humans walked on the Moon. Around twenty years later, Voyager would send us the Pale Blue Dot image, our world, but now seen from the cold, distant edge of our solar system, barely a pixel, floating in a sunbeam. No wonder I grew up a space geek...

#Christmas Eve, 1968. Three humans are further from home than anyone in our entire history. As the crew of Apollo 8 rounded the dark side of the Moon, they saw a sight never seen by human eyes before: Earthrise. #Apollo #Noel
The Earth rising above the Lunar surface, the first time viewed by a human being, our world a vibrant blue glow in the velvet blackness of space.

I happen to share a birthday with the great Rosemary Sutcliff, born 105 years ago today. Her historical fiction books (largely what we'd now call YA) are wonderful, spotlighting life in Britain from the stone age onwards, with a lot of emphasis on Roman and Sub-Roman. 1/2

I consider myself a Wally Wood fan (with several originals of my own) but... I didn't know about this. Apparently in the early 60's Wally pitched a Sunday newspaper strip showcasing famous people, and made up some presentation pieces, like this one.

Some tips for this: - If you haven't got a portfolio, you can make 8 pages by mid Nov if you start now. - Just bring your finished work. - Print it out unless its a webcomic (crappy printing is better than no printing). - Think about your storytelling - A4 p/copies are fine. - Bring your questions.

@harryshearer.bsky.social I know that correlation isn't causation, but it surely *must* be the recent release of "Tap 2", and the increased (ahem) prominence of Derek Smalls, that's led to shortages in the Sainsbury's veg aisle today...??
