I was at a litfest today when someone told about they time they were working at another festival a while back when they got an advisory note from a certain celebrity kids’ author’s publisher that no young girls should be left alone with him. From. His Publisher!

Will there be a Glinner origin story? He was one of my first follows on Twitter and the journey from funny progressive to horrible bully is quite extraordinary.

The comic cover with a picture of a mole wearing a head torch and the name "Mole Mole"

The inner pages of the comic. The story has a mole digging a tunnel and finding a bomb that blows up. The mole hides in a war shelter, then finds four bombs in a row that also blow up. Then water starts coming after him but he manages to block it off and escape back home.

Went to a comic workshop with @tommclaughlin.bsky.social yesterday and my 9 year old drew a comic inspired by the game Mole Mole by @adamatomic.bsky.social

I’m off to paint a window in Waterstones. Let’s hope they’re expecting me and this doesn’t become a police matter again.
