Day 670

Aka Saturday 1st December 2018


Today I did some concrete work on writing my presentation, basically putting down my thoughts onto the page, which I can then shape into something coherent for next Friday…


'Rick and Morty’ #44 arrived and tells the tale of ‘Vindicators’ 1, where Rick and Morty first team up (and I use the words team up loosely), written by Kyle Starks, illustrated by Marc Ellerby, coloured by Sarah Stern and lettered by Crank!, and the penultimate episode of Rick and Morty’s adventures in the Public Domain, written by Tini Howard, illustrated by Jarrett Williams, coloured by Sarah Stern and lettered by Crank! 





As per usual the teams do a great job in capturing the spirit of the TV show. Although it would be nicer if the stories were a little longer, it kinda feels like we’re getting a starter and dessert, but no main course 😊 7/10.

…I also got slightly annoyed at 'The Guardian' as my copy of ‘The Guide’ had a third cut off, meaning that the 'Modern Toss' cartoon was incomplete, so I had to go out and get another copy (the 'Modern Toss' cartoon and the cartoon & puzzles make up 75% of why I get 'The Guardian' on a Saturday). It was bad enough when they changed the paper stock, too something more light weight and feeble, more like the newsprint from the ‘80’s, cut the word count and introduced less interesting articles/writers, but cutting a third off of the issue is taking the cake!!!…


…and I did the G2 Crossword:


…which went much better than yesterday’s as I only had to cheat on a twelfth of the clues (two out of 25), I didn’t know that oloroso and amontillado are sherries and didn’t get ‘sombre’ from ‘melancholic’, but the rest of the answers just flowed, flowed like a very fluid fluid flowing down a steep incline.
