HELLO FRIENDS
I’ve been away a lot looking after my old mum - still am in fact - sorting her troubles has left me little time to work. So if you like framed vintage jigsaws and stuff, please visit anyoldtat.bigcartel.com.

And sadly she had a fall very recently so I’m working even *less* than I was before. Have a click, you might see something you fancy, why not?

I am against the gentrification of advent calendars. They should cost no more than £2 and either contain chocolate or just have a picture in it.

A rather splendid Brian Bolland ad for a Palitoy take on Darth Vader’s T.I.E. Fighter, from Dec 1st 1979’s Look-In. I’ve never seen this particular Bolland take on Star Wars merchandise before, and his ads for the franchise during the period are always fun.

That REALLY shows what you were imagining whirling them around, doesn’t it?

I used to work for James "The Amazing" Randi, who squandered all of his MacArthur money fending off lawsuits from Uri Geller that he pointlessly kept provoking.

Kelly really goes above and beyond this week looking at how the omnipresent 1980s Dianetics TV commercials fit *perfectly* into Ronald Reagan's America full of anti-intellectualism, mental health denialism, and the logics of a brutally-enforced austerity-based individualist "self-help." A must-read.

![“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.
Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.
Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hkxtqxfvk4xh2roqbkebmoiq/bafkreid675pobhckre5wbkxub5qfu3vaxbls7mpuhlcidhvbbrjw6iua2e)
