Comics and comic con fanatic. I can't write, I can't draw, I can't colour, I can't edit. Therefore, *of course* I have a podcast, are you crazy??

Lots of new followers lately: hello there, I guess!
A re-introduction: my name is Leonard Sultana, I'm a middle aged nerd based in Yorkshire, married to Caroline, currently looking after my dad who is not in a good way but we’re muddling on, I guess.
What’s with the San Diego thing? Well…

Someone in the comments described the Tesla Optimus as a ‘bipedal RC’ and that’s absolutely it.

You don't know performance anxiety until you're sketching at an after-con party and notice Bilquis Evely looking over your shoulder.

I hope everyone can remember your art is more than the numbers it gets. The internet is not as kind to art as it was a decade ago. I hope everyone can keep creating even if it's just for themselves.

Rewatching THE ACOLYTE. I know *exactly* what kind of reaction this'll get from Star Wars 'fans'... but it's the show that's intrigued me the most, that's asked the more interesting questions, that has the most going on under t'surface. It's the one I find myself going back to more than the others.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.
Just SIX times?! Jeez, and the goddamn rest, easily into double figures and that first figure is at least a five.
