#apocalypse humour

[weepingfoxfury]

The man on the radio wishes everyone a happy 1st of May. There's sunshine and birdsong and Pavarotti in full force followed by the 3 minute misery fest that purports to be the only news in the world. The duvet is still comfortable, the coffee still hot and the dogs are still bouncy as they vie for attention.

Yesterday's shiny metropolis excursion was wetter than wet. My raincoat is still about as much use as a paper bag ... at this rate I'll just use some carrier bags sellotaped together, as I keep forgetting to get a coat that repels the water instead of welcoming it into every inch of the fabric.

The rain came down so hard it bounced up off the pavements and made it's way into the shopping centre. I watched in sympathy as two ladies with their mops and buckets attempted to stem the tide.

Still ... as I stood inside waiting for the monsoon to cease, I went inside a kitchen shop and found myself a cast iron griddle pan. Between mice and power cuts, which both reduce the toaster to a paperweight, I figure this is one way to still get toast. Plus it'll lay out an intruder no problem at all.

I know ... I know ... first world problems ... but I still plan on having toast even as the apocalypse hits.

Hmmm ... thinking about intruders ... perhaps I should get another griddle to keep by the front door ...

"I am not!"

"Then read my mind, playboy." "Well, that's an interesting thought about Erik....WHERE'S THE BRAIN BLEACH-"

TankerTWEETland comix #1800: Zombie Millie - "Corduroy...” (9/3/2024)

It's been a while since we've checked in on Zombie Millie and the apocalypse. It was like early July... and this time, she says something stupid to her sister Primrose, who as always, has a witty comeback.

No amount of reading, survival gaming, or zombie movies can prepare Morgan for the apocalypse. Safely tucked away in bed, it seems like only imagination worries about the undead. But when the virus strikes, fiction become reality as Earth transforms from home to hell. 

"The dead, have returned." 

Given no choice but to fight for survival, Morgan has to learn to live in this new world or be buried with the ashes of her past life, forever.

Tout blanc

Frédéric Ploussard confirme toute l'originalité de sa plume avec ce second roman tout aussi déjanté que Mobylette. Cette fois, il imagine un savant débordé par son invention, une neige qui ne fond pas et va envahir la planète. Un roman noir tout blanc.

    En deux mots Une jeune femme qui fuit son mari violent, un savant dont l’invention – une neige qui ne fond qu’à 36°C – lui échappe, un maire corrompu et un jeune homme placé en foyer, voilà quelques-uns des personnages de ce road-trip déjanté où il s’agit d’éviter de mourir sous des amas de neige incontrôlables.

Hi Neil, I just finished watch season two, and apart from emotional devestation of the plot (thank you I hate you I love you), I wanted to say how emotional the sheer Pratchett-esqueness of it all made me. Obviously the easter eggs were a pleasure (CMOT Dibbler, six-inch tall angry scottish men, seamstress humour and the countless more I'm sure I'll pick up on on repeat viewing.) But the street traders meeting felt like something straight from the Discworld. Terry had such a keen eye for the beautiful humour in mundane, silly, regular people. Of course the apocalypse might happen. But people have things to say about the Christmas lights. Of course they do. I started reading the discworld books when I was 8, and the supply was so great (our library would order books in if you asked nicely and had it no limit on how many books you could borrow), I quickly became addicted. I read them all, too quickly, looking back. And then one day there weren't any more new books to read. And today, watching Good Omens s2, it was almost as though I got to revisit a new chapter. And I wanted to thank you. Because Terry's spirit is so present in season two its hard to imagine you didn't come up with it together while eating sushi.

Thank you! That put a huge smile on my face.
