Vote for me! Today! Before it's too late!

This piece about the Not The Booker prize just came my way. Please vote, if you feel like it. For me, I mean. But it has to be done today.

Saturday Cartoons

More from the note book:

Idea for a one panel cartoon #211
An apparently lifeless HAND or FOOT protrudes from under the curtain of what appears to be a PASSPORT PHOTO BOOTH in a corner of a busy supermarket.
Caption: “Thank you for using Dignitas self check-out.”

Idea for a one panel cartoon #400
In an ice-cave hangar on the planet Hoth, a disgruntled HAN SOLO (dressed in snow gear) looks daggers at the only bipedal steed available, which is an especially mangy animal being offered to him by Joey Tempest of the Swedish melodic heavy metal band Europe.
Caption: “It’s the final tauntaun.”

Idea for a one panel cartoon #67
French General de division PIERRE BOSQUET seems singularly unimpressed with the contestants in the Stefani Angelina Germanotta look-alike competition he is judging.
Caption: “C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas La Gaga.”

Invasion of the Sabbat Worlds!

Just an over-excited reminder that THIS is happening next week, and that missing it will suck for you. Bear in mind the link needs to have the words "...and Aaron Dembski-Bowden" added to it.

Wanted to celebrate the US and canadian publication of Triumff on the first. That's simultaneous ebook publication too.

And here's proof that the books are actually on sale.

Let's also pause to get hot under the collar about Hammer and Bolter, and the splendour that is Thor AND Iron Man being in the same place at the same time as me and Andy.

Then here's this very nice write-up of my talk to the BSFA last week. Thanks, Kai!

Finally, for your early warning radars - I'm going to be at Games Day UK (of COURSE I'm going to be at Games Day UK!) on 26th September, The New York Comic Con on 8 - 10th of October, and Games Day Italy on the 17th of October. Oh, and Thought Bubble in November.

And FINALLY finally, if the following trailer doesn't fill you with a huge squeee! of excitement, then you should surrender your boltgun at once and report to the Inquisition for immediate chastisement.

Found objects

Just wanted to say "hi all" and have a happy Bank Holiday (apologies if it ISN'T a bank holiday where you are, I have no control over these things).

I can't claim responsibility for collecting these - I just ran across them, but they're very entertaining all the same. I don't know why, but I found the X-Files ones particularly amusing.

In which I become a Baltimoron. Wait, that's not right...

Ahh, Baltimore...
























...city of Homicide:Life On The Streets locations...





















...and great diners (Scrapple, anyone?)















Okay, let's go to work.




















This is what it looked like before the people arrived.



















Waiting tables.





















A refined palette.

















Books!


















It's a sign!



















Brandon!




















Ooooh! Necromundelicious!


















Good morning, I am a giant Ork space hulk.

















Inflato-Ventris.























Some tables, earlier.
























Whole new levels of loveliness...




















I wonder who this is?






















Ork tank!





















Giant Ork Face says, "We hope you had a great Games Day US 2010."















Nathan Long says, "Leave me alone, I am sleeping."

BSFA!

Off to sunny Baltimore tomorrow, and looking forward to meeting and greeting all those attending Games Day US. If you need more details, roll down a couple of posts.

Meanwhile, a little late (my bad) but never mind, here's notice of the BSFA meeting in London next week, where I'll be the guest interviewee. Very nice of them to ask me and make me the focus of attention. If you're in the neighbourhood, it should be a most enjoyable evening.

Attack Of The Fifty Foot Pilgrim II: Revenge Of The Feline

I received a letter addressed to "Pilgrim Abnett" c/o "the Dan Human", forwarded by Matthew Churchill, long time Friend Of This Blog and certifiable loon. The text read as follows:


"Dear Pilgrim

I am sorry to hear of your recent massive weight gain. My human has put me on a diet and it stinks. You must be very hungry being 50ft tall, so I've spared you some of my food. Apparently, they are called 'Kibbles'.

Enjoy

Mayhem Churchill"



Sometime later, an elite squad of RSPCA ninjas was HALO-dropped into the four mile Exclusion Zone, and they were able to send back the following picture before their transmissions went dark.
