A satisfied customer, yesterday.

Attention Socks fans - the 2014 Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre t-shirt is now available at a post-Edinburgh reduced price. It's a classic and every one must go.

Now only £12 a shirt plus postage, all you need to do is Paypal your payment, tell us your size, and the shirts (already printed, so no waiting) will be on their way.

That logo in its full classic glory. 

This year's shirt design (above) is our "classic" pose which has not been available on a t-shirt until this summer. And this year's shirt is back to top quality (some Socks In Space shirts suffered a small problem with the logo on the front, which won't be happening again!).

Postage is £3 to the UK, $10 to the US.
(So that's £15 total from UK, $30 total from US)

Pansy Potter Ski Jump - behind the scene of this week's Beano

Pansy Potter is back again in this week's Beano and this week she's ski-jumping. Though the version you'll see in print is quite different from the original first draft script, which you can see above. Both good, and this one is an exclusive glimpse just for your pleasure.

Elvis Ate My Homework - new comics by kids

Here are the last few comics from Comic Art Masterclasses held during the Edinburgh Fringe, at libraries in Corstorphine, Drumbrae, Kirkliston and South Queensferry , and a couple from the classes at Porthcawl Pavilion, as seen on TV last week.


The celebrities they chose for my far-famed "treads on a worm" routine were Boris Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Olly Murs, David Tennant, and 2 unknown. And of course I rattled off a few more flipcharts while I was at it, some of which I remembered to take a photo of.

Socks do the Ice Bucket Challenge

You know a summer silly-season meme is coming to an end when the Socks finally get round to doing it. And they've just got round to doing the ALS/MND Ice Bucket Challenge.

In a few months time we'll all be watching the Big Fat Quiz Of The Year and this will come up as one of those questions with its own ready-made compilation of celebrity clips, and no-one but no-one will be able to remember what ALS stood for, if indeed they ever knew*.

September in the Socks' calendar - Picasso

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre's 2014 calendar is on the theme of modern art and September's page sees the boys doing the grandaddy of... well lots of grandkids, but also 20th century painting, Picasso.

The calendar is on sale through Lulu.com at a devilishly reasonable price and is a joy to see and a marvel to treasure. (Also someone had me sign one after the gigs in Brighton last month which reminded me how incredibly valuable they're going to be someday.)

To see all 12 entries, plus the front cover, click and look at the free preview of the calendar. And you can see 2012 and 2013's calendar (cult icons and sci-fi respectively) on the website.

Oh What A Lovely War On Terrror - Scottish Falsetto Socks live

Up on Youtube at last, here's Oh What A Lovely War On Terror, one of the most popular songs from this summer's new Socks show, ...And So Am I. We hope you enjoy it.

Also online are a couple more sketches from the show, so you can now get a tiny taste of being there by watching the clips in order (a tiny taste, there's quite a lot that won't be going online):

Scottish Independence, Yes or No?
The Pros of Scottish Independence
Ignorant about Politics
Mumford & Sock
European Elections
... more still to come.

And here's the War On Terror song, now with captions:

Comic Art Masterclass on ITV news

I did a Comic Art Masterclass at Porthcawl Pavilion on Friday and ITV news came along and filmed me, which was nice. Above you can see the clip on Youtube (below you'll see the earlier version I filmed it on my phone, which was the only way I could work out to record something that's on ITV Wales which we can only get on the TV in the back room and not on our cable, until I googled that). You might be able to see it here on the ITV Player, but that link possibly disappears after a week. Try it anyway.

Now I'm off to remind all the schools in Wales that I'm available for the Autumn term. Oh and here's that flipchart, my first attempt at a Peter Capaldi since the start of the new series.
