There are a few bits by me in the new Viz, including Spawny Get's airplane shenanigans and this advert for an innovative new tonsorial enterprise. Out today!

I've got a few bits in the new Viz, including the script for this strip in which Biffa Bacon makes first contact with some vaguely-familiar-looking extra-terrestrials. Out today!

Spoke to one of my legit heroes, George Miller, for this piece in the new Empire about Babe and its brilliant (and insane) sequel! Story features on-set bust-ups, cows with "Betty Boop" mouths and Stanley Kubrick & Tom Waits. In the issue out tomorrow 🐖

@katefolk.bsky.social Hi Kate, just finished Sky Daddy and felt compelled to say that it is ridiculously brilliant. Absolutely loved it. Fantastic work 👍👍

Final frame of an early Tinribs cartoon from 1990. 35 years on, and we've come a long way from associating artificial intelligence with the half-arsed outpourings of a shit robot that causes more trouble than it's worth

The new issue of @vizcomic.bsky.social has a few bits by me, including this exciting feature in which a WWF icon, a long-defunct island prison and Lady Diana's most trusted servant square off to determine who is Top of the "Rocks". Out today!

It's new Viz day, and there are a few bits in there by me, including a Californian news round-up, and this interview with the 'Lutonian Elon Musk' who is aiming to bring DOGE tactics to Bedfordshire. Out today!

Had a lot of fun writing this Deep Dive about the great, great Vampira for the new issue of @empiremagazine.bsky.social - which is out today!

It's new Viz day and there are a few bits by me in there, including an in-depth interview with the world's most famous hair transplant surgeon. Out today!

A picture of Roger's Profanisaurus: Turtleshead Revisited. Roger Mellie dressed as a 'twenties varsity fop with a teddy bear under his arm, rushing across the lawn towards the Brideshead outside cludgy. The words at the bottom read: Britain's Favourite Swearing Dictionary - Revised and Updated for 2024 - and then a picture of TV's Richard Osman and a quote: "The Roger's Profanisaurus books are some of the greatest works of British literature." Richard Osman. (And he did actually say that, in between presenting lightweight TV quizzes and writing dozens of lightweight murder mysteries).

It's apparently World Book Day, time to defile your poor old shelves with a copy of Turtleshead Revisited! Available in all good bookshops, most crap ones, online at amzn.to/4i0zfY2 and in a skip round the back of the printers.

Andor: The 10 Greatest Moments From Tony Gilroy’s Star Wars Series From Luthen's monologue to the Aldhani raid, Empire revisits the highlights of Star Wars' Rogue One spin-off.

Ridiculously excited for Andor season 2, so re-upping the @empiremagazine.bsky.social piece I did about the best bits of season 1!

Me too... 2014-2019 MCU — what a run.

It's new @empiremagazine.bsky.social day, and there's so much gold in the issue — including an immense David Lynch tribute. I spoke to the great Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender for a piece about their new Soderbergh spy movie, too. Out today!

This is such a great issue — and happens to feature a couple of features I did that were extremely fun to write: one on Osgood Perkins' insane-sounding Longlegs follow-up, The Monkey, and another on the life and times of the great Ralph Bakshi. Get yerself a copy!

There are a few bits by me in the new Viz, including a Daily-Mail-channeling investigation into workplace wokeness, an interview with a novelist who's pioneering the 'Cosy Cyberpunk' literary genre, and this stupid advert below. Out in shops today!

For years I used to sing 'So you walked back in the revolving door and did it all again' in The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn, before realising the Euston Tavern probably didn't have revolving doors in the early 80s (or ever).

Cartoon from 2004, done mostly to give the office thesaurus an airing. Hearing later that he'd had a rough time, I was slightly worried that accusing him of owning a cattery which was merely a hollow facade might have been a bit unkind, but it turned out that he liked it, so I sent him the artwork.

I've got a couple of features in the new Empire - one about Oz Perkins' nuts-sounding Longlegs follow-up, The Monkey, and this very fun one below about New York animation legend Ralph Bakshi. Issue out tomorrow! 🙌

Last year, Osgood Perkins changed the horror game with #Longlegs. In 2025, he’s going even wilder with Stephen King adaptation #TheMonkey – an absurdist, gory horror-comedy about death. Empire goes ape with its cast and crew. Words by Tom Ellen

WHAT a show 🙌

Thought this would be apt as my first Bluesky post after migrating from "X" - an ad I did for the new @vizcomic.bsky.social which is in shops today!
