NEW ROOT BEERS COMIC ALERT!: Town's busy as usual for a wedding, I see... root-beers.webcomic.ws/comics/773

"Mind you, I don't know if you've considered the advantages of being a wildly successful children's author WITHOUT becoming an evil hateful bigot, it can really do you wonders."

This week's #FanArtFriday features Holly, Jacob, Gloria, and Iggy from @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social's Under the Umbrella Tree. We'll miss the series creator, Noreen Young, who performed Gloria in the series.

Hi. This has just been mentioned by David Hamilton on his @boomradio.co.uk show to a lot of listeners. I was listening to it while working on the treadmill at the local gym. I’m so proud! 😊

Make something. Stop scrolling and make something. I was waiting at a railway station the other day and everyone else on the platform had their nose to their phone. It's one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. Get a notepad. If you've downtime: write, doodle, CREATE.

tribute to "His Master's Voice" #art

I recently heard on @boomradio.co.uk that the only thing David Hamilton would be advertising for, nowadays, is the Toby Jug. So, is this what anyone would be thinking of, then? With apologies.

Okay, folks. Hit me!
