Ever have one of those nights where you toss and turn in a semi-wakeful state trying to remember the name of the female co-creator of Swamp Thing, only to realise, upon waking, that she doesn't exist?
Fuck you, delusional sleep deprived brain, fuck you!
Anyway, in the moments when I was actually asleep last night, I remember dreaming that I met Stan Lee on Kingsland Road in Hackney. He was wearing an Arsenal jacket and couldn't stop to talk to me because he was in a rush to get to Marvel. I insisted that I must take a photo of the two of us together, but couldn't find my camera. There ensued a mad, panicky run up and down the High Street, with me looking everywhere for my camera. When I eventually found it, (chained to some railings), Stan had gone.
Cunt.
Unsurprisingly then, I feel like crap this morning. I have to go and meet my partner and our child outside the swimming baths in a mo. From there we will be going to check out Carter's Steam Fair in Clissold Park. I'll then be returning home to watch England v Germany in The World Cup and read reprints of The Doom Patrol...
Lord only knows what nightmares this will give me.
That is all, chums. That is all.

As impressively Freudian as that oddly evocative panel is, Mr D, I doubt it'll have the power to give you, and indeed the rest of us, as many nightmares as the German football team is going to, I fear.
Sigh.
PS: Will be happy to have my fears re: England proven wrong. The fears caused by '60s Doom Patrol comics are, however, too deep in my soul by now to be cancelled out.
