THE BEST. No hyperbole here.

Drew, you have mere hours.

Hagai, this is utterly phenomenal. Really sorry about your dad.

This is two minutes from my house!

Obvs there are some equally brilliant applications from people I know and love too....

I'm currently curating @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, and there are so many incredible applications from people who are brand new to me, it is thrilling! Beyond excited for a bumper year already.

Don't forget to apply! You have til 8th Feb.

Coming into Leeds, right?

Thought Bubble is looking for Patrons to offer financial support to help us maintain and develop our work; Don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere but Patrons’ support will ensure that we can continue to create a festival that spotlights comics and uplifts so much of our amazing community.

The applications are already looking very delicious. More please!

Tell your mates! And while you're at it, tell yourself.

Honestly? Never! Oh, maybe at VAT return time, but even then...

20th! I've been working for 16 of them. And it somehow gets better every time? Mind-boggling really.

We are still reeling from the beauty of this one!

Hay(hey)! I heard you like comics?

Oh look, we're doing another one.

My daughter was singing one of these 'stream of consciousness' songs she does. This one went (sung dramatically into my face) 'Your eyebrows are lumpy and your nose is babyish' 🎶

From an interior design page on Facebook. Zoom in on the prints for an AI surprise. Also, the cursed lamp.

Hello! I'm finally back down to earth after the best Thought Bubble EVER (again).

Working on Thought Bubble is the weirdest thing - spending an entire year planning an event that passes in the blink of an eye - but I firmly believe I have the best job in the world.

I am the luckiest person alive that I get to work with Chloe, Amy, Nabil, Steve, Petey, Jip, Mikey, Kate, & Harry. We are a very jolly team.

I should probably take a break now, but the truth is I don't really want to. I just want to get cracking on making 2026 the best Thought Bubble EVER (again).

A huge thank you to all our exhibitors, guests, supporters, and everyone who buys a ticket. I don't think that you could find a happier, more friendly group of people if you tried.

Big thanks to our incredible volunteers. I cried at them at the Sunday evening debrief (happy tears, natch) enough to start a rumour that either I was leaving, or Thought Bubble was over. But rest assured that I am simply emotional (and menopausal).

This is extremely lovely to hear - thank you! We are wildly proud of this show.

THOUGHT BUBBLE THOTS

Now that I have a fully functional brain, I can't press enough how much Thought Bubble is... extremely the comics show for me and people like me. Folks who are not only stoked to see the things that people create, but to get inspired for making art for arts sake.

Thanks so much for the glowing review, Fraser! We are so proud.

Thank you so much!!!!

Settling in after Thought Bubble, which remains a tonic, and pure comics. I was chatting to newbubber Chloe Maveal about it and she summed it up simply: "I haven't seen a Funko in three days." For a con to be as big as it is, and still be as comics as it is makes it a treasure

Also sorry to miss you, Andy! I did, however, clock the PHENOMENAL boots.
