Someone get this doggo on American Idol!
Sometimes news gets missed until weeks after the fact. I just found out that the comic strip artist Enrique Badia Romero (better known as simply Romero) passed away back in February. In a long and honoured career he is probably best known for his work on the Modesty Blaise comic strip from 1970 to 1978 (taking over midway through a story when original artist Jim Holdaway suddenly died), and he later returned as artist for the last 15 years or so of the strip's run. He also drew the popular European adventure strip Axa. RIP
Below is a sample strip from his MB run, taken from the Daily Cartoonist tribute website linked above. This is an original proof version made before it actually got printed in newspapers, hence the odd colouring.
If anyone is doing any research into chaos, here's some prime source material.

Wait, he said "touch grass"? I thought he said "touch ass." Sorry, Donkey, that hug will have to wait.
Found this random short on Youtube that I hadn't seen before. Someone captured this bit of footage of Jenna filming Wilderness in NYC.

Fandom creators are like cows, some people think you can just milk them for content, but actually they need enrichment (comments) and a nice pasture to graze on (kudos/likes) and they secretly also like cuddles (asks about their fic/art)
As someone who has yet to recieve a comment on my latest piece, I concur. Also the calf is cute so I'm reblogging for it too.
Another news story on the start of filming on Control, which includes Jenna Coleman, this time from Collider.

I kinda wish they'd made a proper running gag of Clara and coffee/tea. They did a bit with Bells of St. John's and the unspillable cup, and here they play with it a little. And there's the bit about Twelve going to get her coffee and delivering it weeks later.

Jenna Coleman's upcoming roles
1. Iris Is More Than Okay
Jenna Coleman narrates the entire audio book, which will be released on Audible on the 16th of May!
2. The Jetty
In this BBC TV show, Jenna Coleman plays the leading role of detective Ember Manning. A release date is not yet known, but it will be later this year, possibly in late summer / early autumn.
3. The Sandman S2
Jenna will return as Johanna Constantine / Lady Johanna Constantine in season 2 of Netflix' The Sandman! We don't know when it will release yet.
4. Control
The "audio-movie" thriller "Shipworm" is now being turned into an actual movie, called "Control". Filming for it is starting now, and Jenna has been announced to be part of the cast. It is currently unclear what her role is.
Gaining 'Control'
With the announcement that Jenna Coleman will be co-starring in a new film called Control, it's great that we Jenna fans have more future work by her to enjoy, even if it'll likely be 2025 before the film is released. A few thoughts:
- Sadly, it's not an adaptation of the video game. That would rock, especially with Jenna in the lead.
- It doesn't appear Jenna has a lead role - though they haven't announced anything about her character so I may be dead wrong on that.
- With James McAvoy and Julianne Moore leading (even if Moore appears to be voice-only, like Scarlet Johansson was in Her), and some other big names attached, this does not appear to be the same type of small indy film like Jenna's last two. I've pretty much despaired of seeing Klokkenluider and Jackdaw in my corner of Canada (and I don't stream), but this one looks like the type of film that could hit cinemas. It may stream instead as a lot of films do, but it might be easier to find at any rate.
- Not counting her Captain America cameo and the cinema screening of Doctor Who and All My Sons, this will only be Jenna's 4th appearance in a proper theatrical film after Me Before You, Klokkenluider and Jackdaw.
- The fact production has begun, assuming Jenna is working right away and not joining later, would indicate that whatever she's done for Sandman Season 2 is likely complete.
- So we now have three things to look forward to from Jennaland: The Jetty TV series (coming later this year; I hope we get a trailer soon - her last BBC show, The Serpent - put out a trailer months in advance); Sandman Season 2 (not officially confirmed but I thought I heard Jenna had mentioned working on it); and now Control.
- With yet another project that is NOT The War Rooms, the planned TV series announced more than three years ago, it's pretty much confirmed now that despite what IMDb might want you to believe (according to it, the show airs this year), that project is dead. Or, if not dead, the odds of Jenna still being involved (beyond maybe a producing capacity) have likely dropped to nil as she's moved on to other stuff. I still wouldn't write off a future Victoria movie or season (Jenna has said she could play the role for decades), but I'd probably have better luck emailing Jenna and asking her for stock market tips.
- I just noticed Sarah Bolger is in Control, too. I know she's done lots of other stuff, but I remember her as Princess Aurora (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) in the Canadian-filmed Once Upon a Time TV series a while back.
