SPECTATORS - Part Ten
Plus, new post-Wordle addictions...
Good weekend?
Brian here, Sunday afternoon as I type this intro, and it looks like the Cleveland Guardians are about to win their very first baseball game? I’m sure I’ve just jinxed this 17-2 lead.
Anyway, in last Monday’s installment of Spectators, Val and her mysterious new acquaintance each came to an important realization…
And now, more answers begin to materialize:
How spectacular is Niko at drawing the human form?
If you’re curious how he does it, Niko will be presenting another “Artopsy” exclusively for our beloved paid subscribers in The Tower on Friday, this one covering live model drawings.
Never too late to join us…
Speaking of The Tower, we were chatting about my losing Wordle streak in our cozy private forum over the weekend, and loyal reader Al Wurst steered me towards my newest morning ritual, Framed, which is essentially Wordle for movies. Today’s game was a snap, but most are pleasantly challenging.
Because I write on deadline for a living, I’m forbidden from enjoying any epic console video games until after I retire in 2031, but I’m curious which games everyone else is using to procrastinate/avoid thinking about thermonuclear warfare. Is it all Elden Ring, or do you dig deeper?
Let us know in the comments, thanks:
Likely violating all sorts of child labor laws, I’ve forced my kids into helping me hand-stuff some fancy padded mailers with the first round of Exploding Giraffe Prize Packages for our generous Founders.
As thanks for their patience, we’re covering all shipping costs to anywhere in the world, and our first twenty or so Founders will each be getting a signed copy of Saga #1 along with their Niko Henrichon sketches and limited edition scripts (which we shelled out to have nicely covered, like a crummy school report you’re trying to at least get a B-minus for).
And even after I run out of first issues of Saga, I have tons of other valuable early comics and assorted rarities to include in future Prize Packages, so please help my children learn important life lessons about hard work or some shit, and upgrade your membership today.
Otherwise, I’ll see you back here next week for more free Spectators!
Go Guardians,
BKV
Whoops, looks like the order of these two new pages may have been reversed! Apologies, all! We'll get that straightened out shortly...
Loving Spectators, can’t wait to see where it’s heading. And definitely going through a reply of the last of us 1 and 2 in anticipation for the HBO show. Highly recommend.
