I checked the website the other day to see if it was on there but it’s still showing the Feb meet-up details. I was wondering if I should wait for it to update before posting about it!

It would be remiss of me not to mention that for March, the @cartooncounty.bsky.social meet-up will be in the Walrus (Ship St #Brighton) as usual, with the wonderful @katrionachapman.bsky.social talking about her new book The Pass. #comics

My second zine for @knowlewestmedia.bsky.social and @wecanmake.bsky.social, about the Neighbourhood Trade Crew who are performing retrofit on 5 homes on Andover Road. The zine centres their work and explores how to build an inclusive site that prioritises wellbeing and healthy workplace practices.

Went to the @goshcomics.bsky.social launch party for @katrionachapman.bsky.social’s THE PASS from @fantagraphics.bsky.social and managed to take zero photos except for this one in the pub after and Kat’s not even in it! Lovely night though - reminded me of the old London comics Booze Britannia days.
