A few bits and bobs in the @vizcomic annual including FA using time travel to win 1966 World Cup again and a Brian Cox forum for those who don't know the difference between black holes and gloryholes...

Since Wimbledon is on, it reminded me of one of my favourite ever @vizcomic pieces about Tim Henman 'finally coming on'. No idea who did it though.

#theoneshow Watchdog being reduced to a slot on the One Show is like the Post Office being hidden away at the back of WHSmith

Having headlines on the same day about gritters, snow chaos and Southern California reminds me of one my first ever pieces for @vizcomic

#generalelection #nationalservice I'm not sure I can take 6 weeks of the Tories saying "Labour don't have a plan" 10 times a day. At least 'Jeremy Corbyn's Coalition of Chaos' did actually sound like a half decent Marvel franchise.

#RedEye Surely either Liam Neeson, Steven Seagal or Wesley Snipes are going to make an appearance at some point...

@TomEllen7 @vizcomic Cheers Tom - I also remember that one! Don't worry, I've no doubt subconsciously pilfered some ideas myself in the past too...

@themarkbates @vizcomic Remember this one Mark- incredible stuff. I did an article headlined “Straight Outta Truro” a few years later, about Ice Cube re-recording NWA’s back catalogue in Cornish, that was almost certainly subconsciously nicked off this (sorry!)

I went to Ridley Scott's southern France vineyard last week and consequently ended up interviewing the great man semi-pissed👍 We talked about ghosts, ancient aliens, Napoleon and living to 100 - in the new ES Mag, out tonight and tomorrow!

Apropos of nothing, here's a little excerpt from a Viz piece I did a while back about what celebrities dress up as for Halloween.
