  1. That's a good idea. I'll see if I can get some copper sulphate and do some electroplating. That'll pass some time constructively.
  2. I'm concerned enough by the panic buying emptying supermarkets over here in the UK, and it's also extended to clothing stores as well. Some of us don't have cars, the rail network is likely to be reduced to a Sunday-level service and I wouldn't risk a journey into the city, with being coughed on and non-existent social distancing commonplace. If I still collected new physical copy comics via an LCS, with the logistical, public 'hygiene' and my own personal health issues all combined, I wouldn't consider keeping to the same routine of a weekly, potentially injurious and basically inessential trek downtown. Also, I like to pick my own copies, so I wouldn't be interested in mail order. Thankfully, I've gone digital and these complications don't exist anymore.
  3. It is a puzzle. There's no constant maglev-type metal-to-metal interaction, creating a consistent repel-and-move effect.
  4. I tend to just go with it. I leave the science to Kav.
  5. A problem occurs if a comic book reader is also a science nerd. Then overanalysing is hard to avoid.
  6. I've so far determined that it isn't one of Curt Swan's.
  7. I remember those posts. I think it was renowned coffee connoisseur Frank Drebin who recommended that it's best to grind your own beans.
  8. There's a general air of apathy about this one.
  9. Three cups of Sainsburys Gold Roast Instant. £3 a jar. Nothing posh.
  10. Coffee in abundance. Occasional glass of wine.
  11. I've had a difficult morning and so I'm around a nanosecond off peak form. But, that's all that you and Jolly need.
  12. Hope you're okay too in this difficult time, pal. You're right about the classical inspiration. I'm just being silly.
  13. Classic Curt Swan art there. Kav will approve.
  14. That’s greedy. Identifying the artist is part of the fun.
  15. Faces.... good Forced perspective poses ... bad I’d say I’m somewhere in the middle.
