Probably a good time to mention that I run a small press called Blueprint Comics.
Over the past couple of years, I've edited and published six short story anthologies featuring a rotating roster of Australian cartoonists (over 65, so far) – plus a graphic novel!
Every documentary about The Beatles is 90-mins of old white British dudes going "Y'know, before The Beatles there wasn't The Beatles, y'know? I remember listening to them for the first time and telling my wife Mary, 'This is gonna be huge, Mary. The Beatles are going to be big!'"
Any interview with Katsuhiro Otomo is good, but this part talks about crosshatching the Neo-Tokyo explosion in AKIRA is a strong portrait of his dedication to the craft.
Just had a relaxing week off from my job as JK Rowling's social media manager. I'm feeling refreshed and ready to get back into it. But first, I will fill my mouth with almost a litre of water.
In The Matrix (1999), we see Neo run up Commonwealth St, but in the next scene he emerges from Hands Lane.
Are we to believe that Neo has the ability to skip multiple blocks, even though he has yet to become The One?
What's the definition of an essential service? Because I walked by this store and saw 50 guys who look just like me fighting over very complicated shirts.
I only want to hear about Arj Barker through the traditional channels: a friend repeating his stand-up jokes while we wait for the train to school, circa 2005
Thinking about the time

and I asked our real estate agent to send someone around to fix our shower head, so they sent some old guy who unscrewed the head and sucked out the blockage like it was a tube of yoghurt.
Event Horizon's production design and Adrian Biddle's cinematography don't get enough respect. (Biddle was also the cinematographer for Aliens, which explains a lot).
Here's an exclusive image of Gurnald, a new character who will help Jon Snow fight the White Walkers. According to George RR Martin: "He's a bit of a scamp!"
what if the popular musician Beck ('Loser', 'Devils' Haircut') was instead named Berk and was also a rotund blue man who guarded a trapdoor in a creepy castle?
I think he'd look a little something like this:
I visited everywhere The Matrix was filmed in Sydney, so you don't have to.
Turns out The Matrix isn't everywhere, but instead a couple of blocks around Martin Place and Surry Hills.
Man goes to doctor. He says he's depressed; that life seems harsh and cruel. He feels all alone in the world.
The doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The new Skitzmix is out. Go listen to it. That should pick you up."
The man bursts into tears, "But Doctor... I am Nick Skitz."
My time at Pedestrian is done – a 4-year run, to the day, which feels like a lifetime in Aus media.
I'm heartbroken, but so proud of everything my friends have achieved during their time with these sites (both past and present). I've loved every moment I got to spend with them.
I saw Dan Andrews at my local Woolies weighing individual cans of soup with a pocket scale. When the staff asked him what he was doing, he told them that he was "checking to make sure he got the most soup possible."
The way Tim Robinson says "What the hell?" in the egg sketch has been hard-coded into my DNA. I no longer remember how I used to say that phrase but I do know that's the only way I say it now.
