The back of the comic features the mother and child sat together at the top of a slide in a leafy park on a grey-looking day, facing away from us. The blurb reads βa comic about parenthood and existential terrorβ
It's called 5 More Minutes, and - as the blurb says - is all about parenthood and existential terror. (Sorry in advance.)

No! You heard wrong! I said I was never making another GRAPHIC NOVEL! Specifically, a solo one. (Theyβll have to pry my comicking tools from my cold dead hands.)
A box of freshly printed comics: 5 More Minutes, by Hannah Berry. The covers feature a little girl crouching down to pick up a snail and her (presumably) mother crouching down next to her, distracted
Whatβs this? A new comic? From Hannah Berry? Surely notβ¦

Cartoon County autumn fair at Brightonβs open market
Up early for a Saturday to get my stuff together for this. See you there #Brighton - your chance to chat with and buy from our cityβs many talented #comics creators.
Like @zaraslattery.bsky.social @michimathias.bsky.social @simonrussell.bsky.social @streakofpith.bsky.social
Absolutely everyone connected with literacy: the enjoyment of reading crisis is a travesty! Above all else children must be encouraged to enjoy reading again!
The government: letβs test the little pricks, thatβll make them love it

Iβm reposting this, but grudgingly because Vee and I have a graphic novel out on submission *right now*. Please give them work, but donβt you dare steal them away or youβll face my pencil-necked wrath.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This new book by @cartoonkate.bsky.social is a breath-takingly beautiful thing: I'd go so far as to say a work of genius.
It's my privilege to be interviewing her about it at the East Gate Bookshop, Totnes on 23rd October. Please join us if you can:
