Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th January 2025.

20th January 2025.

Yay!

It’s Monday … !

And, as ever, I’m up early!

Yes:L it’s Weight Management Day.

And, having maintained my weight, last week?

I’m hoping to have lost something.

Given it’s another cold day?

I’m expecting to lose something by shivering!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th January, 2019.

20th January, 2019.

Right … it’s a definite: I saw the Claude Rains/Jame Whale version of The Invisible Man, last night.

It’s quite something to watch: especially when Griffin, the Invisible Man himself?

Unwraps the bandages.

The phrase ‘skull-like’ springs to mind.

And, from what I can tell?

The bit’s of the film where Rains, as the central character, unwraps the bandages from his head are done with a very early version of Colour separation overlay.

The same thing that powers the animation you’ll see at the start of today’s intro video.

One day … ?

I’ll get the hang of it!

There’s one sad bit of news I caught, last night.

No, nothing to do with Brexit, OR Prince Phillip.

Actually?   It was a car bomb … outside a courthouse in what’s variously called Derry, or Londonderry.

No one was killed or injured, but neither has any group claimed responsibility.

But, having grown up in England during the Troubles?

I’d hate to see those Troubles restarted.

Especially if those who’ve done this, have done this in response to the Brexit negotiations, with all the talk of a Backstop*.

Here’s hoping.

The Daily Teaser — 20-1-2016

Right, here we go … 

I’m back to work, today.

After a couple of days off that went rather well.

At least, as far as I’m concerned.

The staff christmas do on Monday: which was fun.

And I managed to catch Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD, last night.

Nice to get some of the history behind the comic that was and is the modern equivalent of The Eagle: and see the face of Brian Bolland, one of my favourite artist on the title.

Future Shock! is quite something to catch!
