These things are a sliding scale ya know. Maybe pick something pertinent to your own life before going to the tried and true generic options. I literally just got back from seeing The Wombats at The Powerstation tonight. It’s always been a personal goal to go to The Powerstation, an infamous venue here in Auckland.…
When you start looking at how the first World War affected the countryside of France, even just from a topographical standpoint, the impact is absolutely staggering. Hills were obliterated, gullies and valleys carved, and whole tracts of forest emerged where it was no longer safe to tread for fear of buried munitions. But of course…
The truth for a lot of people living with depression is we feel as if we’re living on top of it, living with it or living underneath it. As if it were a presence in our lives rather than a mood which passes. I tried to portray what it was like living with a creature…
I guess this somewhat of a counterpoint to my “stuff is just stuff” thing a couple weeks ago. The clutter of your home can be a representation of what you are, and even its organisation puts a classifier on your personality. “They’re a messy person” etc. But what happens when the shared collection of things…
I’ve never related to a parrot so much in my life. We recently went to a bird rescue and we got to witness the amazing work they do for local wildlife and pets in need. There was a parrot there which I believe inspired Isaac to write this comic. He cheerfully greeted us with a…
I’m a firm believer that everything will turn out okay in the end. But that doesn’t mean things will turn out okay soon enough for you. It doesn’t really pay to wait around for the universe to cycle itself into your favour – you’re on a slightly more limited schedule. Be proactive, make the world…
Really after a while it’s a question of who is performing for who. So many good games are coming out at the moment and I’m stuck playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Not saying it’s bad, but any game that isn’t Red Dead Redemption at the moment feels like being left out in the rain while looking…
It’s our creepy Halloween special, once again executed with aplomb by Becky. Her monsters are pure nightmare fuel and I love it. I usually try to get our Halloween and Christmas scripts done months ahead of time, but I was really struggling to find a concept that scared me. As soon as I decided to…
Seriously though, what was it? Rocks? Artisan crafted nick nacks? I know that sometimes they just made their interiors themselves look like a mess. Just look at this baroque shithole. It’s completely empty but still looks like a cluttered mess. If you leaned on the walls you’d have no idea if you were leaning in…
Black holes swallow planets, and rats eat baby birds, truly from the top down nature is a wonderful thing. New in store this week is our Merbabes sticker set which you can get right here. Our mate next door, Big Ben, bought an iPad Pro on the proviso that we’d get some use out of…
