“So Vin Sullivan, wanted a character who’d sell like Superman. Bob being Bob he promises him one by Monday. On Saturday, he brings me this sketch and he has a name, BirdMan. I say ‘Bob, Those are bat wings. And it’s a dame. And it’s nude.’ The rest is history.” -Bill Finger https://t.co/yksuyR5Ujj

Anyone got any recommendations for podcasts in the vein of A Ghost Story for Christmas? Looking for some classics with a decent audio/production quality. Maybe a little Mr MR James.

@rowhoop @alisonflood @PeterWohlleben Do you take recommendations? You might be interested in the Eisner nominated comic series we created with Prof Richard Wiseman about the psychology of magic and the supernatural, Hocus Pocus. https://t.co/Sib6CVzqtA

@thebookseller Morning, I wondered of your followers might be interested in the self-published comic book Richard Wiseman (59 seconds, The Luck Factor) that made it all the way to the Eisner Awards and is hitting stores? https://t.co/qwStaMpjTn

The Lorax

Dr Seuss
Rik WorthRik Worth

We’ve been watching a lot of Illumination films lately, especially the Dr Seuss stuff. I really dislike them. They kind of feel like they don’t care about being good or funny or consistent because they’re “just” for kids. The Lorax in particular is a mess.

@RobynVinter The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis is a personal favourite. Any Jon Ronson too, obvs. And it’s not quite narrative but I Am The Law by @molcher is very relevant right now and really blew me away .

Doing some research for something I’m writing and saw that Wheatley’s “The Devil and All His Works” and Murray’s “The Witch Cult in Western Europe” both use Goya’s “Witches Sabbat” on the cover. Anyway, the thing I wanted to find out was what snooker balls are made of https://t.co/WJq1GRKj92
