I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

Comic page. 2 Panels.

Panel 1: Me walking my dog in the woods.

Caption: Not to brag - but I walk my dog, okay/

Caption: We often find ourselves in the local woods.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic page. 1 Panel

Panel 1: Me and the dog walking over the boggy muck, elevated on sticks laid into the dirt.

Caption: Every few weeks, though - someone lays down a very useful series of branches so we can cross with ease.

Caption: That's nice isn't it? Someone taking the time and expending the effort to build a little bridge.

Caption: I often wonder who it is. Perhaps it's more than just one person. That's a comforting thought.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic Page - 1 Panel. Me crossing the sticks, we see all the previous sticks crushed down deep into the dark mud.

Caption: It's funny how guilty I feel when a branch breaks - like I've undone their good work, y'know?

Caption: But within a weeo or two, there's a new set of branches ready to be trodden into the mud.

Caption: It's hard not to think about all those other branches, crushed down deper in the dark with every new layer.

Comic Page 2 panels.

Panel 1: Me standing in the woods looking down at the path.

Caption: maybe it's my turn to lay down some branches for the next folk who come this way.

Caption: God knows it wouldn't take long - and I definitely have the time.

Panel 2: Shot of my hands holding the sticks I'd need.

Caption: Nah

I am repeatedly tempted by this

Duggertron @duggertron.bsky.social · 2d

Amen my friend.

Forget purple Soundwave. When are we getting blue Scorponok?

I’ve been quite reserved on the robot purchasing recently but bang together an influx of preorders and a few impulse buys arriving very promptly and suddenly it’s a busy week

Magnificent. I’ll take 10.

Just need to sort out the chest labels, touch up a few bits and then apply some varnish. Then Marvel G2 Hot Rod is done. #maccadam

Absolutely incredible

DiaBrave Sid @diabrave.bsky.social · 5d

So, this here is a special one - G2 Soundwave

@asorohanart did this amazing design a few years back before he passed, and I've worked with the amazing Shins of the Wreckers and @camzilla51 to make it a reality.

I always knew you had potential, bad

Duggertron @duggertron.bsky.social · 7d

Yeah the “swapability” of the limbs on landfill always felt like an evolution of scramble city to me. He’s very late G1/G2 feeling. Hoping to pick up the Devestator version at some point.

Duggertron @duggertron.bsky.social · 8d

Absolutely this.

A toy whose name may or may not predicts its ultimate fate.

I’d like to get the Constructicon set at some point.

Yay!

Nick Roche @nickroche.bsky.social · 14d

One thing I WON'T have at Thought Bubble is New Scarenthood. Since last year's show, I've managed to get all rights back (YAY!) and move it along in lots of significant and unexpected ways!

The actual 2nd volume and new home for Vol 1 though? To be finalised. (Let's talk?) BUT! Here's a promo!

The characters from Scarenthood, standing in a row. Jen in Roller Derby outfit, Flynno flying a drone, Sinead filming the viewer on her phone and Cormac looking at the broken Virgin Mary Statue's head in his hand. Beside him hovers the demonic undead cub scout, The Big Boy. The text reads: "You'd sell your soul for decent childcare. SCARENTHOOD: MOTHERFOLKLORE by Nick Roche and Chris O' Halloran".

He's BACK (again)! Maz returns with our Unicron Trilogy miniseries! This time it's the much-maligned Superlink Sonic Bomber aka Energon Wing Saber - is it the unarticulated brick everyone claims, or so much more?

Er. How can he be unarticulated if he can do this?

Duggertron @duggertron.bsky.social · 13d

A while back in our G1 Transformers book group on the @tripletakeover.bsky.social discord we were discussing Time Wars and (with maximum respect to the original author) what could maybe have been done differently.

This was the culmination of my suggestions.
