The Hero Slam jigsaw also comes with a super cool poster with the full image on one side, and the lowdown on ALL the heroes on the other, not to mention a ton of other little details, villains and sidequests to spot 🔍

It’s a huge world and here’s a bit more of it 🔥 OUT NOW!

😱 WE MADE A HERO SLAM JIGSAW, and it’s out TODAY! 200 pieces, ages 8+, and it features a whole new adventure for our Hero Slam heroes. Once the jigsaw is complete, it then forms a maze, which only the most trepidatious of heroes will survive!

AW YEAAAAA CONGRATULATIONS! 🐨

Waterstones say yes will be recorded and a link shared after the event! They also asked what was happening about emails bouncing back so they could investigate it?

It’s not officially released till Thursday but I’m seeing quite a few bookshops with it already 🤩

I’m just checking!

Oh phew I thought maybe it was just me, and everyone else had already figured it out!

Doing my accounts and once again I am asking, out loud, why receipts can’t just have the date in the same place instead of making my old eyes have to search for it somewhere different each flipping time.

Chatting to artists who have taken sabbaticals from work has genuinely rewired my brain. Didn’t know it was a thing. Now trying to incorporate the idea on a daily basis.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Oh wait it wasn’t even that long ago! How was the pie?

Oh isn’t it lovely. I was sat there thinking wow a 1500s pub, how weird to look out the window and wonder what sort of world they would have seen back then. Turns out a hundred years ago they moved the whole pub from down the road, so the view would have been completely different anyway :D

ARE YOU IN THE PUB

Alice In Borderland season three just appeared on Netflix so I’m over the moon. If you’ve not seen it before imo it’s a far richer story than Squid Game, which it invariably got compared to.

It seems to be an ongoing issue 🥹

HOW DO YOU NOT EVEN NOTICE. HOW.

Greg! Thank you so much 💖

Genuinely love this. 10/10, thank you Tories, everything you do is a gift 👏👏👏

Not only that, but we’ve been working on a super secret short animation to start the show and we’ll be premiering it here for the first time 🤩

💖Saturday 12pm I’m doing a great big gig at Union Chapel and if you want to join in,wherever you are, YOU CAN GET TICKETS FOR THE LIVESTREAM HERE www.waterstones.com/events/onlin... It’s going to be an hour long show drawing the most ridiculous comic ever, together, with special guests on stage too!

Saw this. Ruined my day.

I could handle perhaps one rap, but any more than that and I think I’d be checking out too.

They’ve got me there, a lawyer couldn’t touch it 😅

I was in Manchester just over a week ago and fell in love with it a bit, particularly the Fred Aldous art shop and the ✨incredible✨ pies in the very very old Old Wellington pub.

I know the Amazon charts can be wibbly at best but the new Bunny Vs Monkey book isn’t out till next week, and yet preorders have put it at number 19 in their All Books chart, just ahead of Rowling and Pullman. We’ve never reached these heights before 🤩

Oh amazing thank you! Yeah I’ve been reading Senet for the last few years, it’s a joy.

I quite possibly first heard about it in Senet :D

Oh they look amazing.
Incidentally, silly question but you reckon mine are good to eat? They’re a bit small and pale but otherwise fine.

Oh wow, how did you get them?

First attempt corns grown from a seed! Very chuffed.
