Maureen Starkey Tigrett and Sir Richard Starkey married on this day, 11 February 1965.

'It's like the breakup of the Beatles. At one time we used to change together, then we started changing separately in different directions. There's no, like, 'Well, she cut my throat so we have to have a divorce.' There's no one snap thing that did it. It spread out over a year till you found yourself at the end of that year saying, 'What are we doing here? This isn't a marriage anymore.' And I had a fine marriage for eight-and-a-half years. I really had a fine marriage-- which I worked for, and she worked for it too. And it just started slipping away.'

Mr Charles Doughty, a partner in Withers, had told her that getting a divorce meant she would have to go into court and tell a judge that she could not bear to live with her husband any more. Asked by counsel how she felt about saying such a thing, Mrs Starkey clasped her forehead with her hand and whispered: 'I could not have said that because it was not true.'

Beatles Wives on Self Help

inspired by paperback book covers of the 60s and 70s, here’s a little graphic design project i’ve been working on pondering the question: what kind of self-help(esque) books would have been useful to the beatles WAGs circa 1968 - then creating them as if they had written them theirselves.

#just a bit of fun but i thoroughly enjoyed incorporating little references and jokes as i did them #the mclennon goggles are on pretty heavily but even if you aren’t into them i hope you still get a laugh out of these #the beatles #beatles fan art #mclennon #john and paul #paul mccartney #john lennon #george harrison #jane asher #cynthia lennon #maureen starkey #pattie boyd #ringo starr #beatles rpf #beatles wives #graphic design #graphic design is my passion #< semi-ironically 😭

NGL I have STRONG opinions about digital releases omitting the letters to the editor section of older comics. I feel like the letters are a part of comic history and should be aggressively preserved.

#look i was a weirdo and loved the letters so much #so much #so fucking damn much #i still to this day mourn that we don't have them #sometimes the editors would publish blatant aggressive criticism and promise to do better on some things #it was rare but it did happen in a handful of things involving stereotypes #also there is queer history in them such as in superboy and the ravers where people wrote in about hero #asking WHY he was not interested in women and this editor had to so professionally explain that he was GAY and where they stood on it #you also got to read queer readers writing in about these queer characters and the JOY in their words is priceless #also sorry but geoff's letters are fun and stupid at the same time and are a huge insight to what his hcs were #he LOVED tiny krypto so much it likely inspired him making dex starr bc he loved the idea of a small overly powered animal #not saying that was the main reason why ofc but it is interesting that he created dex after praising that mean little mutt #i say with the most love #my venting #my rambles
