The Walking Dead Is All Over The Daily LITG, 5th June 2020

The world seems like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but fandom still brings us together.

Yesterday that saw The Walking Dead respond to complaints about their handling of Black Lives Matter content. Welcome all, to the daily Lying In The Gutters, a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here.
