In Dundee today between the screening yesterday of Fires and Fascism at Campy Growers and this afternoon's at Abertay University.

Was great to see parts of my youth represented! Though I was less keen on finding that the Beano's publisher also publishes "Energy Voice", working with industry and govt to maximise the economic recovery of UK oil and gas.

It's clear that we can't extract new oil and gas and keep a liveable planet for all ... and carbon capture and storage isn't the answer either. A just transition for all is required. People's lives depend on it - fossil fuel workers and people on the climate frontline - and everyone will be on that frontline sooner or later. We need resilience and community.

Apparently British comics are keeping an eye on DC's "Absolute" line....
I hear the Batman comics are pretty good and I'm definitely in on the Green Lantern story.

But now we have... Absolute Bananaman!

Another mini-zine in the bag.
This one is about the UK comics I grew up with.

Are there any other Irish people who thought (as kids) that "Geordie" was another name for posh kids, because the Geordies wore blazers?

I was fortunate to get a lot of stuff for Christmas, but here are some #books. Beano and Dandy has stories from the #60s which are pretty cool.
