i made this on my nuhsuhfuwuh account for when people ask for something completely unhinged as a joke but then i draw it anyway while making it as un-sexy and offputting as possible as A Bit but it has general use application too i think

Poor Richard in Rebus: selections from Poor Richard's Almanack // by Benjamin Franklin; introduction by J. Michael Lennon

Poor Richard in Rebus contains a series of visual riddles, where images are used in place of some parts of words. Rebuses have been around since the Middle Ages, where they were often associated with heraldic expressions.

Do the pictures above stump you? Don't worry, the back of the book contains an answer key to these riddles.

This miniature book is the perfect match for anyone who liked to watch the late 1980's game show Classic Concentration!

Sorry about the lighting gradient 😅 A sudden burst of energy let me draw a bit more fanart, since, I’m not up to share just my own stuff yet.

Catty (The Caterpillar) is mine, Zoetrope (posing) and Rebus (Cyclops) both belong to  @blinkpen

Rebus unveils first look as BBC acquires reboot of hit crime drama

Outlander's Richard Rankin stars in the new detective drama.

Crime drama fans, the BBC has acquired another surefire hit of a series - and is bringing Rebus to our screens this spring.

The series, which was the first UK drama commission from Viaplay, will air on BBC Scotland, BBC One and iPlayer soon, and is based on the best-selling Inspector Rebus novels by award-winning author Ian Rankin.

Previously announced back in 2023, the show stars Richard Rankin (Outlander) as Detective Sergeant John Rebus.

It is, of course, not the first time that the Rankin novels have been adapted for the small screen, with ITV's Rebus adaptation airing between 2000 and 2007 and starring John Hannah and Ken Stott in the title role.

The new series, however, sees a younger Rebus drawn into "a violent criminal conflict that turns personal when his brother Michael, a former soldier, crosses the line into criminality".

For #InternationalBatAppreciationDay:

#LuckyBats spotted at the The Frick Pittsburgh’s Chinese Porcelains exhibition! 🦇

Porcelain vase with enamel decoration, China, Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period (1723-1735), c. 1730.

#LuckyBats: The center medallion of 2 joined #bats encircled by 7 more is a #rebus, or visual pun - the Chinese word for bat is “fu,” a homophone for the word for "good fortune,” and “nine” is also a homophone for “long-lasting.” It was likely a wedding wish for a happy marriage.

Milestone Monday

March 18th is the birthday of acclaimed American novelist, poet, and short-story writer John Updike (1932-2009). Updike was inspired to become a writer by his mother’s attempts to get published during his childhood and recalled fondly the memory of her writing desk with all its admirable equipment. By his early twenties, Updike had published a poem in the New Yorker as well as a collection of poetry with Harper & Brothers. His early successes went on to spur a prolific and varied career that included being one of only four writers to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once in 1982 and 1991. 

To mark what would have been Updike’s 92nd birthday, we’re sharing his signed limited-edition chapbook Five Poems. Published in 1980 by Bits Press out of Cleveland, Ohio, Five Poems is letterpress printed in an edition of 185 copies with a hand-sewn binding and a clever rebus cover drawn by Updike.

Happy Birthday John David Hannah born 23rd April 1962 in East Kilbride.

Hannah attended Heathery Knowe Primary School then Claremont High School in East Kilbride and on leaving school was an apprentice electrician for four years. He gave up his work as an electrician after being accepted to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.

After a few years cutting his teeth in TV shows likeThe Bill, Boon and of course Taggart, Hannah finally got his ‘big break’ when he was cast as Matthew in Four Weddings and a Funeral, since then he has made a name for himself on both stage and screen. His most notable roles have been as Quintus Lentulus Batiatus in the American television series Spartacus, Rutger Simon in Damages and Jack Roper in New Street Law, film roles include the two “Mummy” movies, Tam McGraw in The Wee Man and James Hammerton in Sliding Doors. John also helped Edinburgh Zoo celebrate its centenary in 2013 by narrating a BBB documentary on the tourist attraction's history, getting up-close-and-personal with the zoo's furry residents by launching a newly refurbished koala enclosure.

More up to date we saw John in the BBC Drama Trust Me and The Victim, both partly set in Scotland, The Canadian medical drama, Transplant and the must see The Auschwitz Report he true story of Freddy and Walter – two young Slovak Jews, who were deported to Auschwitz in 1942. He was also on our screens in an episode of the excellent Last of Us this year. He has several new projects on the go right now.

Hannah is married to actress Joanna Roth who was also in Sliding doors, they have two children. In many of his interviews he mentions stories from their relationship, such as the visit to London's 'Sri Siam' restaurant where he proposed to her in writing on the tablecloth

He supports the Epilepsy Association of Scotland and was, for a long time, a spokesman for Oxfam’s Cut Conflict Campaign.
