So, to fill the gap I’ve found Would I Lie to You, which actually may be almost as good as QI in terms of being funny as you’re guaranteed David Mitchell every episode and guaranteed Rob Brydon for every episode after the first 2 seasons. (And Lee Mack is pretty good, too)

There also are no British politicians taking up guest spots, instead it is frequently cast members of Eastenders which is as inscrutable as British politics.

Episode picked at random, as I watched all of the episodes one after another and they all kind of flow together making it hard for me to pick out a “best” episode to post here. It has Richard E. Grant in it because… why not?

Check this uploader’s account for other episodes.

Here’s the whole show: http://www.brandonbird.com/stories.html

Here’s a place to order prints of some of the pieces, including my Detectives Look for a Racist and Two Teens Disappear in a Museum, both printed on very nice watercolor paper & signed in an edition of 50 each.

Ninety-six pages of full-color illustrated laffs and semi-true information written and drawn by me (and some other people, but mostly me).

This, inexplicably, is the first "official" Mad Men publication ever. It’s also the first Mad Men book that doesn’t have a red/black/white cover.

To be released on October 6, 2010.

You can pre-order now at Amazon...but in the unlikely even your town’s independent bookstore is carrying it, support your local and get it there. (I doubt they will, but Urban Outfitters will have it.)

*This is also coming out in Australia, UK, and Canada under different imprints. There may be some variation in the release date for those countries.

I’ve just learned about this Swedish cover and I’m not sure if it’s a strike against or a ringing endorsement:

Du för mig

These Are Their Stories
(A Law & Order Art Show)
curated by Brandon Bird

July 24 – 30 at with a reception Wednesday July 28 at 8:00 pm
Gallery Meltdown, 7522 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046.

I’ll be there in person and you can buy signed prints of my 2 prints in the show. I did a Special Victims Unit one and a Criminal Intent one.

I illustrated this CD a couple month’s back. It’s out now. There’s also illustrations on the inside and on the CD face not pictured here. Also, a standup act (which I did not illustrate, as it is audio)

Order it as a part of the very reasonably priced 3-CD pack

For the very impatient, you can just jump right into it with this form—

Here’s the magazine itself with my illustrated interpretations of the ads sprinkled throughout. (150, 174, 182, 186, 232, 236 & 242)
