This is an illustration I did for my friend, Dai’s, PhD thesis. A part of his thesis involved a study around how some gay men (particularly those of a minority status) negotiate being gay outside of mainstream gay culture. One story that really stood out to me as being quite unique and touching involved a middle-aged fellow who has never been intimate with another man, doesn’t necessarily identify as being gay, but spends his days knitting baby socks on park benches and on the train as a way to perform his ‘gayness’. As he still lives at home with an extremely conservative family this is essentially the only way he knows to express his sexuality.

I’m writing the English exam, using the handbook’s materials. There’s a listening exercise on there called “Steve Wright in the afternoon discusses arranged marriages”, and knowing Radio 2, I picked that one.

Only it turns out, that’s not actually Steve Wright . They got some voice actor or other to dub (I guess) everything and it’s so weird

The Secret Of NIMH is a classic animated film based on nightmarish rodent population research.

It’s got tons of cute talking animals… and the terrifying experiments preformed on them. And their duels to the death. And their encounters with a creepy owl that will scar any children witnessing it for life.

It was a dark and complex film, more Watership Down than Rescue Rangers.

However, the DVD release of NIMH really pushed it as a movie about a family of friendly mice and a goofy crow who go around having adventures. Now, there was a crow in the movie for comedic relief, and there was a family, and we suppose if “trying to move your home so your sick child doesn’t get caught in the farmer’s thresher” counts as an adventure, we guess it had that, too. But it’s all about tone, and any parent renting the film based on that bright, cartoony charm-fest of a cover up there is in for a surprise when, after watching, their kids can only ask “Mommy, what’s LSD?”
