Happy new year! Your comics always amuse me and make me want to draw too! (I do in general but other stuff always seem to need doing and drawing has stayed in the back. But soon! soon!)

It's a wonderful film- everything about Hollywood was better then.

So very true. My girlfriend at the time and I would go down to Blockbuster to rent a few movies. Invariably she’d get something I was meh on and I would do the same. But I’d still watch what she chose. She, on the other hand, would inevitably fall asleep during mine and then wake up to ask me was it over with already?

That sounds like a very unfair swap!! Ah but remembering Blockbuster and how long it took to choose films gives me nice memories!

Happy New Year Tor, love this - eyeballs especially! I loved Conclave too, it was great wasn't it? Really should win the audible-nose-breathing Oscar this year.

Happy New Year Joe! Thank you!

Yes it was SO great, what a role for Ralph Fiennes and his nose noises!! The whole thing was a smasher wasn't it! I listened to an ep of Mike Birbiglia's podcast where he's talking to David Sedaris about them both being invited for an audience with the pope, and DS got into the whole thing and bought a cassock and apparently they have 33 buttons down the front, one for each year that Jesus lived (perhaps you knew this?) Isn't that cool though?

Very witty too - at times it felt like "Cardinal Lawrence's Really Bad Day". I have lots more thoughts but don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it. Now I want to see it again! And thanks for the podcast recommendation - sounds tailor-made for me :)

The wardrobe is amazing isn't it! I hadn't heard of Orry Kelly, just looked him up! Amazing, let me know how the book is!

Shall we each buy a big hat with netting on top this year?
