I think we’re looking at around 60 #ThoughtBubble articles by the time we get to the end of our coverage. Well up on last year but demand was much greater this time. And it still means I have around 150 people to do the guilty “So sorry we didn’t review your comic” thing with in Harrogate.

All members of the BF team at #ThoughtBubble should probably be wearing t-shirts with the BF logo and the words "Sorry I didn't have time to review your comic" underneath just to get that bit of the table chat out of the way immediately.

A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL A1 and DEADLINE, two landmark UK comic book publications ARE BACK! The heart of UK counterculture returns to print.

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now.

Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please…
BACK IT NOW!

This is why it’s so important to continue to hold Frazer Brown accountable for #TFTQ. It doesn’t stop at the unfulfilled crowdfunded books or the missing charity money. He’s a stain on our community and he needs to face the consequences of his actions.
