Ah yes, Benjamin. I wrote another eight pages of this pilot, but they felt like part of a second story, rather than a continuation of this one. So we wind things up here. Will It’s the Nineties Get Used To It return? Not sure. It was a pilot. I’ll give it some thought… it could be a while. Thanks for reading, and all your enthusiastic comments. Solver is back on Monday.
Oh dear, oh dear.
It’s a long time since I last sat on a bean bag. I had one that consolidated the beans from two bean bags. You got a really commanding view. I wish I had never let it go.
Now that’s a big face.
We all remember the 80s pop star Sinitta (best friend of Simon Cowell). And we all remember the very violent Spider-Man story about the Sin Eater. But which one is best? there’s only one way to find out…. FIGHT!
I wonder if calling “dibs” predates spoken language, or if the contravention of dibs prior to the existence of the word “dibs” simply meant that someone got their head stove in with a rock.
Something’s always missing when you improvise. That’s the excitement. And your downfall.
UPDATE: apparently some readers don’t understand the consistency of British casserole.
These are some troubling figures. As if Jack didn’t have enough to deal with.
I used to like the IT centre. All those computers, so beige, so hot. I bought my first PC in the autumn of 1997. £1499.00. P166 MMX, 16MB of RAM, 15 inch monitor which was extremely luxurious. 3.2GB hard drive – insane storage headroom. No more IT centre. Innocence lost.
I think I learned that Groucho Marx’s eyebrows and moustache were painted on from the “issue zero” special of Dave Sim’s Cerebus. I write this apropos of nothing. Dave Sim seems to have a lot of problems. But I went to see a talk with Gerhard, who drew the intricate backgrounds for Cerebus, and it was fascinating. He would do exploded views and even build macquettes of the buildings in the comics. He would do exploded views to show the location of furniture, and other ones simply to show where the shadows fell. When Cerebus finished, he chose not to draw for a decade or more. In the Q&A portion of the talk, I asked him what he did during this time. His answer was so vague that I left the talk very ill at ease indeed.
