I'm not saying that creating and publishing a comic on your own is easy. I've done a few and it's not, but there must be at least a dozen ways of writing your creator bio without coming across as an egotistical tool. Maybe Frazer wrote it for him?

Every panel is his hand. Every idea is his mind. Every page is written, drawn and designed in-haus. Literally.

The Cancel Haus is not a committee project - it's a singular vision, uncompromising and unfiltered.

Ooft. You can see why Frazer likes him. Theyโ€™re cut from the same cloth. So you write and draw your own comic. Whoopie fucking do.

An excellent mail day thanks to my friend @jamescorcoran78.bsky.social . A wonderful Restless Natives / Tam Shepherds mashup commission.

Maybe the journalist couldn't get time off from his Media and Communication college course this week? Or his dad couldn't drive him to Frazer's house because he was busy.

Fucking hell Chris! Way to follow your dream. You'll smash it, of course. I got this vague impression that you weren't terribly keen on your job, so this is going to be great for you.

Do yourself a favour and get @jamescorcoran78.bsky.social to do you an original commission. He's awesome.

I bet it'll be a Reform MP that will be involved here. The 'bad' comic industry Frazers (Frazer Brown and Frazer Irving) love the smell of a freshly unfurled Union Flag* in the morning.

Frazer Brown is a desperate and sad individual trying to forge friendships and alliances where there were none. The whole #TFTQ saga, nay, fiasco is a warning to everyone about big promises but nothing to back them up. FB cynically used COVID to ensnare comic creatives into his ยฃ37,000 charity scam.

Love it. You captured my commission beautifully including the Universal Monsters in the window. I am doubly delighted though. The 'Big Country' t-shirt is a lovely detail too. They were the first proper band I ever went to see live when I was 14.

Thank you again!

Small Prophets review โ€“ Mackenzie Crookโ€™s magical new comedy is pure, pure pleasure Wonder lies below the surface of this truly fantastic sitcom from the creator of Detectorists. Itโ€™s an impossible marvel of TV making

Really enjoying Small Prophets. Brilliant performances all round with humour and pathos in equal measure. Mackenzie Crook is a bit of modern folk culture hero in my eyes between this, Detectorists and his reimagined Worzel Gummage.

I think I got the fear a little earlier than Threads. My best friend's mother was a CND campaigner. I would tag along to protests and events. I knew a little too much about blast radiai, fallout and Hiroshima for a ten year old. I also lived in Grangemouth.The ruskies had me zeroed in.

There's nothing overly horrific on the soundtrack, but the atmosphere of dread, despair and creeping terror is palpable. I don't think my mum would like to know I was listening to it.

I wonder if it taps into the growing fear of imminent nuclear destruction that many youngsters of that era had.

Charity shop find of the day. Some of my earliest illustration and music memories are right here. As a seven year old kid I was obsessed with this album and the gatefold booklet.
It belonged to my big brother but I played it to death, so my old copy is trashed. So lucky to find a nice replacement.

Picked up this nice Scandinavian (?) kjenge folk art bowl at my local car boot sale. I always wonder how these beautiful handmade objects end up in the grim heart of Scotland on a dreich Sunday morning. Paid ยฃ5 for it.

Ah. I didnโ€™t know that. What a scumbag he is. Heโ€™s up in arms and threatening legal action if anyone dares to release content from TFTQ independently and then he completely disregards your rights as a creator. Nauseating.
