"ETUDIANTS D'OTTAWA DEFAVORABLES A UN MARATHON DE DANSE," La Patrie. October 6, 1933. Page 9. --- A l'assaut d'un établissement de Hull. La police à l'oeuvre avec les pompiers. ---- HULL. Quê. 6. (Presse canadienne). Le marathon de danse qui se poursuit dans un parc d'amusements de Hull a commencé son 83e four aujourd'hui malgré une tentative d'étudiants d'Ottawa qui voulaient y mettre fin. L'invasion de la gent étudiante se produisit hier soir.

Quelque 200 étudiants de l'Université d'Ottawa et du collège Saint-Patrice se rendirent à Hull et pendant trois heures, ils tentèrent vainement de pénétrer dans l'édifice où se tient le marathon.

La police provinciale et la police de Hull, avec l'aide des pompiers armés des boyaux à incendie inondèrent copieusement les étudiants qui durent finalement se retirer.

Un certain nombre d’œufs de qualité douteuse trouvèrent des cibles faciles dans les agents de police mais il n'y eut pas de véritable bagarre. La police n'a opéré aucune arrestation et l'on ne compte pas de blessés.

Rocket (2017) The Blue River Score

This comic gave me depression. (Just kidding, I already have it.) Totally worth it though. It's a good one. And it's got Deadpool! (Which I already made a separate post for a little while back.)

I just wanna give Rocket a hug. He needs a hug 🥹

Meet Hard Boiled Henwy! Scourge of all!

So in another post, I made reference to hard Boiled Henwy, and was asked for an explanation by @thefingerfuckingfemalefury ... Which is a reasonable request.

Back in the 90's, the Britain based x-book Excalibur had sort of fallen into an unsatisfying langour.

After the gleeful insanity of the early Chris Claremont written, Alan Davis pencilled romps involving the Warwolves, the Crazy Gang and the Cross Time Caper (Even if that DID go on too long). Davis left after 17 issues, and Claremont after 27 issues, and no one seemed to quite know how to deal with a team which wasn't the usual X-Men fare.

So, in issue 42, Alan Davis returned as artist AND writer and the series reached new heights, as Davis did know how to deal with them and had no problem embracing the weird and just plain cosmically silly! It's hard to think of a better exemplar than this, the cover of Davis' first issue

And worry not, we are soon to meet this agent of doom! And even witness his creation!

Because Davis immediately returns to one of the most outlandish teams introduced in the title: The Technet! The Technet are a VERY long story in and of themselves (Involving Alan Moore, Alan Davis, Doctor Who Weekly, and Captain Britain), but they are summarised in the first panel, so don't worr about it.

Just know that Gatecrasher is the large lady who leads this motley team, and she has a grudge against the Excalibur team, and has a capture contract on Phoenix to deliver.

So we cut to the Excalibur team having breakfast in their lighthouse home (and base of operations) which is going normally, until Meggan tries to boil an egg.

What horror could emerge? What unspeakable nightmare lurks within this calcium cage?

If you guessed a psychopathic, genetically engineered, self-destructing Tweety Bird, congratulations!

Now, whilst Henwy is something of a one shot wonder (literally) fret not, because Gatecrasher can, and has, made others in the years since, all called Hard Boiled Henwy because why change a winning formula?

Winter 08: Dateless - Pt.2 (25/64)

6. Nathanial

I got back relatively late last night because my date with Nathanial was very... eventful...

Nathanial wanted to go to the movies, but the new cinema in Honeycomb Valley is not yet finished and I didn't feel like going all the way to Bridgeport. So we decided to go bowling instead. Nathanial was friendly when we met, and things were off to a good start.

We started our game. I had the first turn...

I knocked down 9 pins in the first throw! "Well done, Rachel!" someone said behind me. I figured that was Nathanial...

But as Nathanial took his turn, the same voice said, "He's not nearly as good as you are." This confused me, but as I looked around, I saw the guy sitting behind us staring at me... He looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place him...

Ok now this blog is mostly caught up! I finished this last week, using poison dart frogs as visual inspo- this is the most paint I’ve ever put into a sweatshirt so I’m glad it’s still comfortable! Cutting slashes and doing the built-up patchwork on the eye were both a first-time endeavour, I’m really proud of them

This is also aro pride merch but it’s mostly vibes based. Allotoxic is a cool slogan I wish I’d thought of earlier!!! So I could put it in a more blatant spot!!! Bitter veins is cool too though so it’s fine
