Time for a Christmas pulp countdown now, and today it's my top 10 festive tipples!

Stand by for a world of sophistication...
At #10: port! It's basically turbo-wine for getting through to Boxing Day.

Best mixed with Pepsi apparently...
At #9: Guinness! Liquid power for grandparents that tastes... well let's just say there's a reason they don't sell it warm any more.
At #8: Rosé! It's kinda creepy...
At #7: Canadian whisky! Where's that hand going young lady?
At #6: Blatz! Liberace loves it, and that's good enough for me.
At #5: Dry Sack! Ask any man for details...
At #4: Haig whisky! Chug! Chug! Chug!
At #3: vodka! The mainstay of many a librarian...
At #2: Babycham! Look how happy he is!
And at #1: Jägermeister! It's just happy juice...
More pulp countdowns another time. Drink responsibly etc...

I'm very sorry to say that pulp legend Guy N Smith has sadly passed away...
To say Guy N Smith was prolific is an understatement: he has over a thousand short stories and magazine articles published, as well as dozens of novels. He wrote for countryside magazines and promoted pipe smoking.
Guy N Smith's mother was historical novelist E.M. Weale. He published his first story aged 12 and write 55 more before he turned 17. At his father's insistence he went into banking as a career, before moving into the shotgun trade.

It was the biggest manhunt in Britain: police, the press, aeroplanes, psychics all tried to solve the disappearance. In the end nobody really knew what happened. It was a Christmas mystery without a solution.

This is the story of Agatha Christie's 11 lost days... Image
By 1926 Agatha Christie's reputation as a writer was setting to grow. Her sixth novel - The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - had been well-received and she and her husband Archie had recently concluded a world tour. But all was not well with the marriage. Image
In April 1926 Agatha Christie’s mother died. Christie was very close to her: she had been home-schooled and believed her mother was clairvoyant. The shock of her sudden death hit the author hard. Image

Today in pulp I look at the scandalous history of lady jeans!

Well there's a turn-up...
The denim jean and its predecessor the dungaree have a long history, and were traditionally seen as work wear for men.

But WWII changed all that...
As women headed for the factories and shipyards they found that a sturdy denim bib-n-brace, paired with a stout headscarf, was the way to go!

As #COVID19 continues to spread you may be wondering how the world of stock photography is reacting to the pandemic.

Well, don't worry: they've brought their A game... Image
Pictures are vital for news stories, and as the press coverage of #coronavirus increases so does the demand for stock photography to illustrate these.

In a sensitive and responsible way of course... Image
The speed of the pandemic has meant that stock photography has had to move rapidly to handle it. Many have subtly retooled older images to be more relevant to the current outbreak... ImageImage

Time for a few Hindi heroes from the '70s* and '80s: the first Golden Age of Indian comics!

(*you can tell by the sideburns)
Totan Ka Kahar, from Manoj Comics. He clearly likes playing Doom. A lot...
The original Super Commando Dhruva, from Raj Comics. Yes he can fight robot dogs. No he doesn't know how stairs work.
