Paul Conroy obituary: war photographer who defied Assad Fearless photojournalist and founding member of the Frontline Club who was with Marie Colvin when she was killed in Syria dies aged 61

Oh lord, I'd somehow missed the news about Paul Conroy. If you haven't seen Under The Wire (based on his book of the same name, I believe), you should.

I think it is not acknowledged enough how that classic era of superhero comics was strengthened and buoyed by its artists having worked in romance comics.

I don't go there as often as I should as they're not super-local to me, but I personally support Pulp Fiction Comics in Lee's Summit, MO.

You might check in with @grundislav.games as well. I anticipate he's still using sprites for his smooth walk cycles, but he was recently talking about frame count and sizes of characters: bsky.app/profile/grun...

I have spent the past week thinking I had a new favorite Pokemon character, but apparently I just have a new favorite dude.

What's the ur-story from which the forgetfulness spell ballroom dancing of The Labyrinth and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell comes? The princesses in 12 Dancing Princesses don't lose their memories. Surely there's something I'm forgetting.

Night Kitchen is also my favorite! One of the earliest things I read that really shaped what I wanted from stories I consume and tell. But, also, if we're counting the entire oeuvre, it's Really Rosie with Carole King's music!
