Goodnight from Micky Bartles, less worried about keeper Wooley and breaking Section 30 of the 1831 Game Act than he is about transgressing against the Alder King. Goodnight from Barrowford, where the Empress Eel is slithering fields in search of flesh feast. Goodnight from Hookland.

Wolf loved thunderstorms & The Times, the barometer in the Hall, Old Fox & Grey Brock had all told him that a great storm was coming that afternoon. He found some ginger cake in the pantry, made a thermos of strong tea & went to up to the High Attic to wait for the clouds to darken over Maygad Hill.

The Elderly Squirrel was having a long nap in a deckchair at the end of his garden, where it edged the drowsy river.The weather was thundery & close. He could hear the lapping of the water & the sounds of Old Fox's cottage.Wolf's laughter, faint gramophone music, Old Fox's steady, kind voice beyond.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 6/11 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Kaja & the experiments (my new band name) were born & raised in the Pacific NW, so when the temp here hit 80º, they began to melt. I was unsympathetic and kept playing. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cia...) I will die alone

Here’s a poem called ‘Bags’.

The Newcomer was travelling in the far north, so far north, he barely touched the earth. His brightly-painted wagon was settled deep in the forest, where the summer light is cast of amber & black woodpeckers dwell & the great shield-bark pines have their council.

Goodnight from the emergency road repair crew on the A340, trying hard to not think about what could leave giant hoof prints in old tarmacadam. Goodnight from Jonathan Baxley, arranging Lego around his bed in the hope that monsters hate treading on it too. Goodnight from Hookland.

I'm not saying it's been particularly rainy in the Northeast this Spring, but I half-expect someone named Noah to start a GoFundMe for his boat building project any day now.

The references are few, and far between, but I have teased them out, and followed the trail, made my map. I closed the final book, made my final note. Now, I knew the way Down, from the Treetops to the Underbranch. My bags were packed, my team ready. Finally, we were off to the mythical Ground!

The Little Girl's Aunt had a splitting headache. It had been coming on all day and had finally defeated her. She went upstairs to her bedroom, took two aspirin and lay underneath the cool silk eiderdown on the top of her bed.

Goodnight from the After Midnight Pinballers gang, flipping targets at the Ad Astra arcade and sharing cursed cabinet rumours with subdued reverence. Goodnight from St. Wendreth at Melford, holy water bubbling in its font as the Havoc Hunt flies above. Goodnight from Hookland.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 6/9 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Working on the 6th Girl Genius novelization (Her Undying Majesty) I'm going to have to split it into 2 books. It's not even halfway done and it's longer than The Fellowship of the Ring. Yes, a third of that is footnotes.

Goodnight from Flo Haskins, taking shelter in her neighbour’s house after yet another poltergeist tantrum that’s gone too far. Goodnight from Tuesday Cole, climbing up the Red Horse hill figure to sleep upon its ochre clay belly in hope of surefooted dreams. Goodnight from Hookland.

#girlgenius #webcomics #history Girl Genius for 6/6 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) When I'm drawing, I like to listen to podcasts– but I always run out of new episodes. Recently discovered We Have Ways Of Making You Talk (podcasts.apple.com/pl/podcast/w...) This will easily last me for months.

Something I haven't seen really mentioned on here in the ongoing popcorn eating frenzy is that the White House WiFi is currently running on Starlink. Does Leon shut that down (tanking the Internet for the WH,) or does he just siphon off all the government secrets flying across it?
