Looks like a piece of vintage Rotastak there, bit of class. I always thought Rotastak was a bit tight on size for a proper hamster. Fine for a little one. But that was the 1990s. Perhaps they’ve got bigger. Like cars have. Aren’t cars BIG these days? And don’t policemen look young?

Little Green Witch is definitely my new favourite character. I’ve been waiting months for this page to run so you can meet her. It is my fervent hope that she will return. I suppose only I can make that happen.
Today’s comic required some effort to achieve a good package scan. And significant research into how people who are serious about Airfix kits put them together. I have never given Airfix very much thought.
Arcs of Fire was a real shop in Falmouth that sold (almost exclusively, if not exclusively) prints of military vehicles engaged in combat. It was my favourite shop in town and when it closed, a door closed inside me. Just as the ITV Chart Show runs in perpetuity in the Bobbinsverse, so too will Arcs of Fire burn forever.
I don’t think Brian was actually going to meet “a man who has some rough stuff going on in a barn” at all.

I had a great time reading about Victorian seances. Nobody could be bothered with this stuff now. Victorian society is a hotbed of pastimes from an era before pissing your brief candle away on gentle pursuits had been truly mastered. Lost arts in their hundreds. All that remains is Backgammon and I bet no one remembers how to play it.
Here we reprise events that took place in Steeple volume 1, still available from Dark Horse through the usual channels.
As everyone rightly knows, today is both my birthday and the anniversary of the first appearance of Desmond Fishman in 2006, which I count as his birthday too.
Poor Brian. He just wants to be friends with the Reverend. How can he show him that he is worthy? Good luck Brian. We’re all pulling for you.
