A Treasure Trove of Roger Langridge Art
Roger Langridge is one of my favorite artists. He’s so accomplished and funny! And he has a free Patreon where he sends out art Every Single Day. It’s so cool starting the day with a convention sketch (particularly when they’re Muppets!). You can subscribe for even more art. Or…

Science Comics: Computers: How Digital Hardware Works
I wondered about having a dinosaur (and a Victorian-dressed one, at that) narrate a volume on computers, but as soon as Science Comics: Computers: How Digital Hardware Works opened with her talking about this being her second choice (the first was the Science Comics: Dinosaurs…

Consider the Consequences, originally published in 1930, is thought to be the first gamebook, a genre which you might know better as a “choose your own path” book, or “a choice-based branching narrative”, or interactive fiction. It was written by Doris Webster & Mary Alden…
