Shurely. The Private Eye team scored early with the latest cover.

Cover photo. Andrew standing near a police officer. Two speech bubbles:
"What's the time, officer?"
"About 25 years."

@Tony_Meredith I follow their podcast, and watch Ian on HIGNFY, and I keep meaning to see if they have a print sub available in the US, just because I love everything they’ve been for decades.

@MissConstrue Yes. If you can, do please pop some money there.
It's a clever, resourceful, principled little business that has survived despite everything.
And they have fun!
The risks are all around. Like, are they on legally safe ground today?

@Tony_Meredith @MissConstrue In the U.K. at least, the sub is very good value.

I feel bad I haven't looked it up, but having run an indie comics press back in the before times, distribution outside existing cartels was really problematic unless we were doing it ourselves, and I figured it's been 30 years, the consolidation is probably much worse, surely they'd have to hand mail a sub, and that's gonna end up costing them more than the sub value.

But that's all internal dialogue that I never fact checked. They do in fact, have a sub, and I have enrolled. A win for everyone today! blobcathearthug

@Tony_Meredith I wonder whether there will be an attempt to recall them 🤭
