Tikki Is Five!
It’s another quickie just to say, the Tickster is celebrating her fifth birthday today. Please leave your best wishes below.
Back Again
Yep, another little hiatus, but honestly I doubt I went a single day without thinking about what to blog next. I did want to commit to keeping this fairly ongoing again. And I will. But those of you who are regular readers, I hope, will feed me a little with feedback so I don’t feel excessively lonely here!
And, yes, some stuff has happened since October 27th. For one thing, Tikki had a trip up North to meet a Westie pal named Marco…
Tikki & Marco in Lincoln, October 28th 2021
For another, it was my COUGHrd birthday on Oct 30.
“With Chips”
Okay! Following on from “Hail Cthulhu!” Redux, this is the second and final strip celebrating the tenth birthday of Club Comicana Vamporama. It’s also the last new J&M strip to go on here for a while, probably, as I’m working on Club Vamporama #1, an actual PRINT comic. The cover is finished; I might post a preview sometime.
“Hail Cthulhu!” Redux
New comics! As some of you know, I stopped doing comics after February 2013. During the hiatus I did some other things, including a few T-shirt designs. Anyhow, right now I’m moving towards a number of new projects, including regular Webcomics and a revival of Club Comicana Vamporama.
Yup, Club Com/Vamp is, as of June 2016, exactly ten years old! To celebrate, there will be two new strips; firstly, a reworking of an older strip, below—to be followed shortly by an all-new one!
Compare & contrast time!
Ten Years
Hard to believe, but today is not only Vincent Price’s 105th birthday and Christopher Lee’s 94th birthday—it’s ten years since Alex Toth passed away. (Peter Cushing’s 103rd was yesterday.)
Most importantly, to me, today is ten years since my mother died. (Yes, she and Alex died on the same day.)
Fifteen Years (and a cute pic)
Well, actually it was yesterday this blog achieved the age of fifteen. Landmark? Suppose. Blogs weren’t all that common back in 2000. So this was a relatively early one; which means it’s survived through the ascent & peaking of the blog form and its inevitable decline since good old Faceborg took over everything.
So, um, Happy Birthday, Blog!
Birthday Down, Two Months To Go
I was indeed harumph years old on October 30th. which always signals the impending close of yet another year, this time 2015, which with all the best will possible has been something of a fleeting and not particularly polished turd amongst many others.
Birthday wise, the Good was…
Yay! The new 4K restoration of one of my all-time fave films, on Blu-ray. Thanks, Nigel. 🙂 Steve got me some Phibes Blu goodness, too. Double Yay!
Mom’s 70th
I’m backdating this post. I was preoccupied on the day and later went out with Steve to see a movie and have a quick drink.
But I had to mark the fact that August 13th 2013 would’ve been mom’s 70th birthday.
Birthday
Yeah, it’s my birthday today!!
Did manage to attend the local Grey Lodge horror meet last night. Below is a pic of me with Steve Green.
A Decade
Just realised I missed this blog’s tenth birthday by a few days. But anyway, so it’s ten. That’s either impressive endurance or just depressing because of how quickly it flew by. Probably both, actually.
Hi!
Phew, ain’t it just been the quietest on here? Is anyone still reading this? I think I asked before… I’m not giving up on the place, y’know, as this is actually the year of its tenth birthday. But with a very tough, ongoing struggle to find work and just doing other ‘stuff’, it’s been low on my list. Are blogs fashionable anymore?
