Where did I put my invisible-ink pen?

COMIC COVER OF THE WEEK

Dark as farq. Wall-worthy (minus the text), I reckon. By Dike Ruan.

SONG OF THE WEEK

Fiercely competitive field! Gotta give the award to retro-poppery "Des Betises" by Flora Fishbach (France). Takes until the 0:48 mark to reveal its amazing true colours.

Commended: "What You Doing" by Pacifica (Argentina), "GG" by Jvcki Vai x vangdale (Korea), and the powerfully real "Shame" by Skunk Anansie (UK). Almost making the cut were the newies by Dorofeeva & Positiff (Ukraine), Creespy & BIG Naughty (Korea), and Chrom (Germany). More than a hint of Depeche Mode/Erasure about that last number.

SURPRISINGLY HARDCORE HEIST DRAMA

Cops as bad as the crims. Overlong, but I'm still keen for Part 2.

"University Challenge" has returned for another season. Hurrah!
