With #ValentinesDay approaching, I got to wondering if it's possible to put together a full alphabet of old #romancecomics titles. Turns out it is - and with only the most minimal cheating required.

Here's A-D. ImageImageImageImage

I-L ImageImageImageImage
M-P ImageImageImageImage
Q-T ImageImageImageImage
U-X ImageImageImageImage
Y & Z ImageImage
The end. Image

Feeling very pleased with myself just now for managing to track down this November 1933 Liverpool Post story sourcing my favourite-ever newspaper correction. Often quoted but almost never attributed, it seems the original correction ran in a paper called the Schuzler Predicator. Image
Burne-Jones' dates are 1833-1898, so we can deduce that Rev. Wellman must have died in 1894 at the very latest. The correction he prompted has been regularly quoted by journalists ever since, but the story here is the only one I've ever seen which names the guilty publication. Image
Going back to check Horner's 1933 book itself, I found the story comes from a May 23, 1898 letter she received from Burne-Jones, which she quotes at some length. Here's the relevant section: Image

Just got hold of B. Lee Cooper et al's Answer Songs (Paw Paw Press 2015). It includes a list of obscure - & sometimes very strange - response discs hoping to capitalise on #TomDooley's chart success. Here's a few examples:

The Demise of Tom Dooley by The Clingsman Clan (1958)
Merle Kilgore's Tom Dooley Jr. (1958)

I'm going to tidy up these Old Street "model village" tweets into a single thread with the hashtag #TinyMurals. It all started yesterday when I spotted this shop window in London EC1. Image
When I stopped to inspect it, I realised it used several real structures in its layout - such as the tea warehouse, coat hanger bridge and video advertising hoarding in nearby Shoreditch. #TinyMurals. ImageImageImageImage
What I mostly liked it about it, though, was all the little graffiti murals the makers had added throughout the model. No depiction of East London would be complete without them. #TinyMurals. ImageImageImageImage
