The X- Factor – Quarter Final: Take That & Elton John Night
This Week: Could it be Magic and Relight My Fire not massacred! Robbie Williams leaves Take That! Chezza’s dress attacked by oil slick! Joe is very good at being sad! It’s Take That / Elton John week (feel free to read the “/” as either ‘slash’ or ‘stroke’, depending on your preference) which should prove a decent [...]

The Horror, The Horror
Anything can scare you, but Horror, like Comedy, is subjective. Some people can be worked up into a cold sweat with the prospect of the return of a Tory Government, others the thought of going back to work on a Monday morning. But these are existential fears and probably wouldn’t form the basis to a [...]
I was going to post a cartoon about Twilight, but decided that it wasn’t up to snuff and drew a new cartoon at the last moment, hence the slightly rough style.
Whooo! George Michael night! I know someone whose friend is really good friends with Kenny, and she went on George’s last tour, so I think that practically makes me George’s girlfriend, right?!

Last night’s Doctor Who special, ‘The Waters of Mars’, was such a tonal shift from Easter’s execrable ‘The Planet of The Dead’ that I had to double check their credits. How could Russell T Davies have penned both the former’s tense treatise on the laws of Time and the latter’s Punch & Judy exercise in limp sci-fi generics? Maybe [...]
Note: While Roomybonce remains too incandescent with rage to write about Simon Cowell after last week’s debacle, long-time X-Factor blogger Johanna has gracefully stepped into the breech to keep our coverage up-to-date. Here’s the first report from her luxurious sofa: This week: It’s Queen night If Simon thinks that’s karaoke, he hasn’t been down Karaoke Box on a Friday night [...]

Thumb War
This week I spent quite a bit of time drawing tanks and planes and guns and explosions. It was great. I felt like I was 10 years old again. And another thing, guess who figured out how to add textures to layers in Photoshop. Can you tell? Can you? Can you? If you want jokes [...]
