066: glycemic blitzkreig is my Waterloo

May 9, 2018

Hullo. Now, when I only sent the last one on Friday, do I skip a week, when I don't really have anything new to plug? Of course not, as I am driven by love,...

065: Dicey Moral Dilemmas

May 4, 2018

Hullo. Today's main thing has been watching the sort of memeic shuffle between people who still really like May The 4th as a thing, and people who are bored...

064: a little secretly-ironic arrogance

April 25, 2018

Hullo. How are you? I'm thinking about lines between the mid-period Clash singles, Marc Bolan and Destiny's Child's Lose My Breath. Because I remain me....

063: a graphic (and graphic) memoir

April 18, 2018

Hullo. Warren linked to me last time, which has led to a bunch of new followers. I can only presume it is an act of homage to my might. The Omelette Wars are...

062: milk.

April 11, 2018

Hullo. No comics out today, so no real need to write, except for the fact I need to give my subconscious some space to chew over how a fight scene is going...

060: kaffeeklatsch

April 5, 2018

Hullo. Mum update: she hasn't got the last newsletter, so presumably has been eaten alive by the spam-filter or she hasn't approved it, which means we're...

059: a half-harmonized scream

March 21, 2018

Hullo. Since last time, I told my mum that I had a mailing list and now she's signed up so expect less swearing from now on. Contents! Not Losing My Wedge...

058: my hell is now empty.

March 7, 2018

Hullo. Today's work has been entirely derailed, because as well as having three comics out (and my work-process always gets a bit off when there's a lot of...

057: Kafka, Stalin, Orwell, Huxley, Sartre and the Marx Brothers

March 1, 2018

Hullo. As a gift to my British readers, I arranged for no comics by me to come out this week, which means there's no need to go outside and deal with the...

056: Doing The Columbo

February 21, 2018

Hullo. Put it like this: if your favourite bodily fluid is phlegm, have I got the newsletter for you. Contents! Invasion Nooooooo Yessssssss Whaaatttt?...

055: Big Beardy Alan Moore

February 7, 2018

Hullo. I suspect this will be a curt one, and mainly about the work, as I have to write a synopsis before I go off to a Black Panther showing. Yes, this is...

054: pan-geek alliance

February 1, 2018

Hullo. I'm feeling Schroedinger's sick at the moment. C has been ill for the best part of two weeks. I finally caught a taste of it on Monday, but after a...

053: I over-use the word Katamari.

January 26, 2018

Hullo. Probably a quick one this week. I mainly just want to show off Jamie and Matt's prettiness. But it is Extreme Prettiness. Contents! The Pretties. The...

052: it's not about Ludo

January 17, 2018

Hullo. I have no idea why I'm tired. I mean, I went to bed late, and woke up early, but, wait, yeah, that'll be it. Contents! Warsy Ludocraty Gamey Linksy...

051: We Live In The Shadow Of A Book Avalanche

January 11, 2018

Hullo. I am confined to this chair due to hurting my back. I can only provide words. Here they are. Here are the words, which I am, and nothing else. Hmm....

050: : like some kind of Timberlakian Aslan

January 4, 2018

Hullo. It's 2018. We survived 2017. We can survive 2018. We'll find out whether that's true or not as we progress, but it's best to go into these things with...

049: I love maps.

December 13, 2017

Hullo. I forgot to write an intro, so will have to just fill something in. Er... I got re-obsessed with Purity Ring's Fineshrine yesterday? Will that fill...

048: whether to go Full Watchmen

December 7, 2017

Hullo. Just about to go off into town to toast Ram and Ryan, who both had their first Image books released. VOID TRIP and PARADISO had an advert in the last...

047: Grouper mating involving the sharks

November 22, 2017

Hullo. A relatively quick one this month, but with actual new art in, so as long as one picture = one thousand words holds true, we should be fine. Contents!...

046: The Coming, Seeing, Conquering?

November 15, 2017

Hullo. Hmm. Let's keep this hyper short. I still want to write some of the prose sections for WicDiv 1923 that I've been avoiding, as I'm scared. People say...
