Godiva Awakes passes through Towcester - very quickly, so I could only get three shots!
She was also at least an hour late - I'd just missed seeing her in Northampton the day before, so was very pleased when I heard she would be passing through. Having been told that she was due to arrive at 11am, I thought it best not to leave my desk but to run downstairs when she arrived - but I opened the double glazing and sash window just in case.
It was just as well, because I was on the phone when I saw the beginning of the procession arrive so just had time to climb into the bay window (camera set up in preparation) and shoot out of the open sash!

shake dreams from your hair my pretty child my sweet one choose the day and choose the sign of your day the day's divinity first thing you see a vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon couples naked race down by it's quiet side and we laugh like soft mad children smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy the music and voices are all around us choose they croon the Ancient Ones the time has come again choose now they croon beneath the moon beside an ancient lake enter again the sweet forest enter the hot dream come with us everything is broken up and dances
The Tick was a comic book series created by Ben Edlund in 1988 and originally published in black-and-white by the New England Comics store in Boston, Massachusetts. The series provided modest beginnings for its title character, who would later feature in his own television programs and merchandise. The final plot in the comic was never concluded as Mr Edlund left New England Comics to work on the animated series. He has made it clear he never intends to produce the final, 13th issue. Issue 1
Special edition, stamped with a serial number from 1 to 5000, released March 1988. First edition released June 1988.
Ben Edlund, Writer & Artist; Bob Polio, Art Director; George Suarez, Editor & Publisher.
The Tick is in a padded room, confined by a straitjacket. He is bored and decides he will "leave this place." He ends up in the city on patrol against crime. During his patrol he accidentally encounters a group of ninjas interrogating Shing. The Tick, not realizing that he has encountered a crime in progress, leaves to fight crime, with ninjas, hotly, but artlessly, in pursuit. The Tick ends up in a coffee shop demonstrating to a citizen that he is a Tick by demonstrating his sucking ability through a straw. After losing consciousness, the Tick awakes in a subway tunnel, not realizing where he is. Clark Oppenheimer on a nearby train platform sees the Tick in the tunnel and springs into action to save the doomed citizen. The Tick resists being saved, thinking he is in the belly of a whale and Clark an enlarged enzyme, resulting in the two of them being struck by a train. After being disgorged from the tunnel, somewhat worse for wear, Clark runs off to his job at a local newspaper.
Clark Oppenheimer is a subtle but noticeable parody of Superman.
The full story of the Tick's escape from the asylum is revealed in The Tick: Luny Bin series.
The first panel of page 17 is a recreation of the Edward Hopper painting, Nighthawks. This painting appears many times in Tick comics and in the animated series.

The New Southeast Crater at the summit of Mount Etna volcano in Sicily last erupted spectacularly on the afternoon of 12 April 2012, nine days ago. Since yesterday evening (20 April) there have been sporadic, small ash emissions, indicating that the countdown for the next episode of lava fountaining (paroxysm) is running. This image shows a small puff of gray ash drifting through the breach in the southeastern rim of the crater on the morning of 21 April 2012, seen from my home in the village of Trecastagni, 15 km south-southeast of the crater
