Went and saw the lovely Jason perform this (authorised) story at the Hop Sun Taproom in Haywards Heath a couple of weeks ago and it really does bring the comic to life convincingly (having talked with Pat Mills about pronunciations and accents)
Highly recommend

It's great to have successes in creative work but don't pull the ladder up after you. It's good to share knowledge, other people's work and help others on their path. The world is better for art, writing and creativity.

Thank you for all your hard work
I’m MORE confident of survival seeing a willingness to attack but not yet CONFIDENT
We were going down, now we could stay up
What a decline!
Every club has handsy players you’d like to be under the falling knees of those they foul but it’s a whole team with Arse
Sweet serendipity! It feels like a grthink take on Krazy Kat or Polly and Her Pals

19.02.2026 14:34 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I don’t follow the audience size arguments for any journalists or corporations staying on Twitter. What does greater name recognition among nonces really do for them?
18.02.2026 19:53 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0True. The stuff dads were watching when I was growing up was less explicitly childlike, but it was all old men and teenage dollybirds, with songs drooling at last she’s 16 - so I map the slope down from there
18.02.2026 19:24 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0yes! from a male perspective, I've been saying much of this for a while now (building in articulation since seeing On The Buses as an early teenager I guess)

I was interviewed on how I marketed myself and my book (which might be of interest to other authors, because I got an agent, a book deal, and now the book is selling pretty well)

True. The Tech People don’t count in any assessment of how tech will work imo. They are 80% mirror marketing and 20% broken humans who exploit and get exploited in equal measure. What they think is a Good Idea is just flailing around

The estate of Philip K Dick are consulting copyright lawyers as we speak.
(Although this will be as appealing as own-brand cola found out of date on a regional wholesaler’s shelves. Nobody will use it more than twice and it will just subtly hurt vulnerable people)

Original art and comic bundles are available at my online store, with surprisingly reasonable shipping costs. Orders come with a free sketch. Orders outwith the UK get two free sketches!

Still not sure I’m angry at the gen ai scams over creative theft (I mean - get in line, robot)
There’s plenty of reasons to hate the slop on environmental, economic and aesthetic grounds - but if CEOs really go all in, how much of a premium will humans charge to come back when the servers go black?
Same energy as the last man to scrabble on board the Bored Ape NFTs yacht
Same bullshit lies about Things That Did Not Happen too
I mapped my pitches over 10 years to visualize the "Hope Graph."
The data shows a 6-year plateau of silence before the curve finally shifted. Success in this industry is non-linear; it is an exponential curve that requires outlasting the initial stagnation.

But you would have nailed the Not Original and Not Beautiful milestones in record time!

40 years ago today we first opened our doors, at our inaugural site on Great Russell Street, opposite the British Museum. Originally dealing predominantly in back-issues, we’ve grown to host all aspects of the culture of comics, weathered the tumult of the industry and settled in to 1 Berwick St.

Meet them away from Merseyside and all they do is bang on about how great their home town is. It’s sweet to be so proud of their roots but they often express it by putting others down

The way Gareth describes Frank’s different environments between Spurs’ expectations and Brentford’s nice day out for the family is key…
Throughout he’s reminded me of Roy Hogson sounding like a humiliated gameshow contestant when sacked by England “thanks for having me. I’ve had a lovely time.”

Something that gets lost in reporting the reporting of ai is (I think): the Message is not what the machines will do - it’s how easily you can build a scam by vibe coding an app
They’re just advertising get-rich-quick schemes and systems
Ahh. I misread the rules. Thank you

We’d have had to swap Muani for another forward and buy Palhinha to borrow anybody else as a stopgap… would not have made a significant difference in numbers. Actual signings and/or kids were our options

Milo calms my nerves until I think about this week’s fixtures and realise we could go to bed on Wednesday in 17th place and just 3pts clear
‘Winnable’ and ‘sum of our parts’ sound more dubious every week
