“She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely… When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission, it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back.”

A few months ago I got to design the staff t-shirt for The Hobbit x MTG! I relished painting some of the pivotal characters and elements of the story. The stylization is inspired by Tolkien's own paintings, and I wanted it to look as though Bilbo had drawn these things in his book.

Have you seen the original artist Russ Heath's comic strip reply to Lichtenstein:

Goodnight from Terry Anderson, wondering why there’s a freezing fog inside the cab of his truck, but none on the Northmoor Road. Goodnight from the bingo on Blaxwich Pier, where tonight’s caller has unknowingly invoked the gematria of several minor demons. Goodnight from Hookland.

Rest in peace, Joe Harkness. I was shocked and gutted when I heard the news. He was a generous, inspirational teacher and such an important writer. He was brutally honest, inclusive and funny too.
