Ajvar been looking forward to cooking from this one...

Hear me out. Eastenders but everyone's poets. Open mic in the Queen Vic hosted by Ian (McMillan). There's always a Submittable email before the doof doofs. At Christmas, you have to work out who's shagging. Carol Ann Duffy stars. Her catchphrase is Get Outta My Pub(lishing House).

Hear me out. The Traitors but everyone's a poet. The missions are all tasks from The Artist's Way. Every day someone gets a rejection. John Cooper Clarke is Claudia. The winner gets published in a print only magazine and invited to read on Guernsey. Travel will not be covered.

Thank you mate!

Happy Birthday to Me and Keef

Opened envelope with a Japanese stamp and a small part of the sender address.

The finished second WHGIKNZ anthology and small parts of two other risoprinted mini zines.

Some of you might know my #WHGIKNZ comic strips. The first ‚anthology‘ was published as a piccolo some years ago. Now I received a letter from Japan as the second ‚anthology‘ has been risoprinted on thick paper for the #ZineDayOsaka Zine Gatya!
If you‘re interested in a copy, just give me a shout!

Cheers pal!

Talking all things football and literature.
