Paul Fisher Davies explores how comics theorists have built upon and offered alternatives to Scott McCloud's groundbreaking transitions model of meaning-making in comics.

Read his essay, "What We Do in the Gutters: Or, If Not Transitions, What?" https://t.co/pvWIXU2Y2r

#IGNCC24 Elizabeth Woock on historical sounds in futuristic soundscapes - using memory studies to argue that that we draw on indexical sound memories to create unknown and unknowable sounds, activated through staging and blending earwitnessed/known sounds with the unknown

I didn't come into politics to raise taxes on working people. Labour will not put up your income tax, national insurance or VAT.

The Conservatives are the party of high tax.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

So it seems the raise taxes £2,000 line is done by costing the Labour spending proposals and then calculating the impact pro-rata. Now of course even if correct it doesn't have to come from tax it could be from borrowing etc. #ITVdebate

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Sunak "For the first time in UK history pensioners will pay tax". Is very inaccurate phrasing. Pensioners do pay tax just like everyone else. What he's talking about is paying tax if you get the full State Pension and have no other income. #ITVdebate

[Paul Fisher Davies @CrosbieTweets]
