Quick Heads Up: The Museum of Curiosity
I’m a little behind the times, but you still have a few more days to catch the last episode of the current season of The Museum of Curiosity on the BBC Radio 4 website. This final episode includes Neil Gaiman.
I Declare Today “Old BBC Miniseries by Neil Gaiman Day”
It’s a crime Paterson Joseph didn’t get to be the next Doctor. Also, if you want a lesson in how a short person can act extremely tall, watch the clip again.

The winners of Neil Gaiman‘s twitter-run caption contest, #100k, have been announced. (This one’s by styromus.)
“That’s What Mr. A Said”
Felt the urge to look this scene up after watching Watchmen. Alan Moore recites a song from a band he was in. It’s titled “Mr. A”, after the comic book character that inspired Rorschach, and is simultaneously about Mr. A’s creator, the illusive Steve Ditko.
This clip is from one of the most entertaining documentaries I have seen, “In Search of Steve Ditko“. If you want to spend an hour learning some comic book history, whilst watching Jonathan Ross (who loves comics more than masturbation) be entertaining, Alan Moore being creepy, Neil Gaiman being cute, and Stan Lee being nostalgic, you should watch this documentary. Find it on bittorrent.
(No, this isn’t when Jonathan Ross snogs Neil Gaiman. You can find that -> here.)
Neil Gaiman Being Creepy
Congratulations to Neil for winning the Newbery Medal!
