As kids we used to peer into the church at dusk in hopes of seeing the ghost said to haunt inside. We didn’t think then we might be the faces at the window they saw in the 1860s, in the 1890s. We didn’t think then of ghosts as time skipping a groove. ‰ÛÒ Jane Runchford #VOH https://t.co/xpSiNLrMbE

@larryfroot I was beaten to blood by a nun at the age of five for professing that dinosaurs existed and fossils were real. I’ve never really had much interest in observing nuns after that.

@larryfroot The good stuff is both dark and subtle – whether Little Grey Rabbit having her tail taken by the owl as a door-knocker or Toad from The Wind In The Willows being a thin telling of the life of Grahame’s son – and rarely just finger-waving.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, Hookland owes ‘girls’ comics’ a big debt. From one of the A-Zs of Hookland Influences, this M is for Misty. https://t.co/FUw4FA25Ma
