Tony Holdsworth

As someone with experience on both sides of the fence here (a cartoonist without enough time to do all they’d wish, and someone who recently tried to get others to fill out a survey and was surprised by who didn’t) I encourage anyone UK-based who hasn’t yet done so to get on this asap!

Is your character ready to be a protagonist? Lajos Egri pissed me off and said that not every character can be a protagonist. But he's right.

With six weeks left to go until the Thought Bubble pitchfest, I'm stepping up my writing studies. New revision notes on when a character is ready to be a protagonist HERE: tonyholdsworthwrites.beehiiv.com/p/is-your-ch...

Aaa work has approved my holidays for the whole week leading up to Thought Bubble, so I've got all that time to practise for the 2000AD pitch contest, but I've also got time to freak out about it too

How To Make Writing Feel Easy If you're a writer who struggles, you should probably feel bad if you don't do THIS ONE SPECIAL TRICK

If you find writing hard, then you are frankly a pinhead and should read this tonyholdsworthwrites.beehiiv.com/p/how-to-mak...

Good morning! It’s Sunday September 28th 2025! Already? Crikey!

(Out this very month in 1986, just 39 years ago, the epochal Watchmen #4, with its cover by Dave Gibbons & John Higgins.)

You be careful out there among them English, Joanne Book.

I miss the days where you would say something is fake by saying it was photoshopped.

Cover to Alan Moore's next novel I HEAR A NEW WORLD. Due 5/21/2026.

Y'know what, I'm dead proud of my reviews. It's sharpening up my comics work too!

you might think you suck -- just don't tell anyone

PRO-TIP:

screenshot from the TV show Columbo. the titular character Columbo is shown standing at the edge of a driveway, looking down at golden retriever who is happily basking on the pavement in front of him. the subtitles read: "You're a real friendly boy, aren't you? Oh, you're a girl."

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

Poor Alan Moore. Goes on Radio 4 to promote his novel and begins by saying he wants to distance himself from comics.
