As Saint Patrick's Day approaches, I would like to know who YOU believe is the English person* most popular with Irish people.

* spudbabies like Steve Coogan and the Gallagher brothers don't count! If the list was all spudbabies it'd make us really, really bad so be cool.

In love with this new edition of Woman Alive by Susan Ertz - rediscovered and republished by @manderleypress.bsky.social
Written in the 1930s, it's the story of the last woman left in a world of men in an imagined 1985

The book has a red cloth spine. The cover shows a retrofuturist city with airships and cablecars. A single woman appears in a door high in the towers.Far below, male figures spill out of underground tunnels and climb stairs towards her A retrofuturist city with airships and cablecars. A single woman appears in a door high in the towers. Far below, male figures spill out of underground tunnels and climb stairs towards her. A page of ink drawings of stick figures and strange architecture.

I drew the cover for a new edition of lost sci-fi classic 'Woman Alive' by Susan Ertz. It is out now from @manderleypress.bsky.social

Oh, wow, instead of futzing around until the deadline passed telling myself it's not worth the effort me bothering, I applied for a thing which I almost certainly won't get but if I did get it would be great. Well done me.
