Photo of today’s page of This Year for the song ‘the house that dripped blood’ - “There's this famous scene in the Agamemnon of Aeschylus, the "car-pet scene," lines 783-974. Agamemnon, returning triumphant from Troy, is invited by Clytemnestra to enter his house via the red carpet which is not actually a carpet but elaborate and expensive robes spread on the floor). Agamemnon resists-"To trample ornate beauty is / For me a thing I'd be afraid to do" (tr. Andrew Wilson) —but only for a page or two, and then tramples the ornate robes right into the house of Atreus, which will devour him, because those aren't rugs or robes, they're the hungry tongues of Tantalus. The house in Tallahassee isn't a palace in Argos, but it still has an appetite. In its original draft, this was called "Blood Song," and while I'm usually not too” (page ends here)

First panel shows a superhero in a red cape looking out into space over some sci fi controls and the narration says: “WITHIN THE ORBITING HAND, AN UNCANNY GLOOM PREVAILS, AS BEFITS THIS INNER SANCTUM OF THE TWILIGHT ARTS.” “A LONE FIGURE MAINTAINS A VIGIL OVER SCREENS WHICH SCAN THE KNOWN WORLDS--AND WORLDS UNKNOWN , AS WELL.” “AND WHO IS THIS SILENT GUARDIAN WHO KEEPS WATCH OVER SLUMBERING MANKIND?” “WHO BUT JOHN CONSTANTINE, THE HERO KNOWN AS HELLBLAZER!” The second and third panels show how silly his superhero costume looks (big red cape, superhero chest logo that is a pitchfork with ‘HB’ written on it )

The map is divided into regions each with defined borders and whimsical labels - Toff Lane, The Hate, the Guildhalls, the Wide, the Quarter Arcana, the Coffinsmarch, the Swoops, Charcoal Flats, the Shipline, The Beggar's Court. Each region has a 2-3 cartoony buildings drawn in it. All the classics are there, a wizard university, a ruined castle, the slums, things like that. The compass rose includes an illustration of Bushu the dragon and the label that indicates the relative location of Daggerford shows Crawford the pelican.
Fanart of characters from the Dragon Friends podcast. First there is a two panel sequence showing Charion and Dinner standing in the glass elevator and looking down. The narration says "The lake and the boats and the barges are shrinking away - they're getting smaller because of perspective." Charion says "Oh thank goodness! I was legitimately worried that some kind of shrinking magic was occurring." Dinner says "or maybe climate change". In the second panel Charion looks shocked and says "Oh my god - climate change is real!?" Dinner pats him on the shoulder and says "No honey, don't worry about it." Under that there is a drawing of Dinner cowering behind Polly Waddle captioned with "When you see co-workers on the weekend (and you are also responsible for the looming apocalypse). Finally there is a drawing of Gongbonger swinging Polly Waddle around by her feet while she swings her two Blades-of-Grass knives
