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...

045: It wars the Empire.

November 9, 2017

Hullo. I'm in celebratory mood, so I'm celebrating by doing a newsletter. I really don't think these things through at all. Contents! Star Wars! Life is...

044: International Consumerist Leviathans.

November 2, 2017

Hullo. A quick one this week. I'm running off to get a medical check-up (in order to continue my mission of Not Dying) followed by going to the pub (in order...

043: “It's a Witch.” “Thank you, Janet.” “Kill it."

October 27, 2017

Hullo. With any luck, next week will be a big download of what this month has been about. Are you aware of the old 1980s videogame Elite. Not any of its...

042: Jamie had a lizard-brain

October 11, 2017

Hullo. You may be wondering why I've had a few weeks off. Because I'm lazy, chum. I'm very, very lazy. I wish that was true. I was plotting in my sleep last...

041: I deserve a Magnum Double Caramel

September 21, 2017

Hullo. I was kind of hoping to do a round up of new and awesome work coming out at Thought Bubble this weekend. Except I totally didn't. Man! Let's put a...

040: at the bottom of a mountain covered in buses and starting a bus-avalanche

September 13, 2017

Hullo. I didn't mention it last time, but I was writing that when I was on an honest-to-god holiday. I managed to do... no work? It's not true. But I didn't...

039: you can’t do anything before you have a Frodo.

September 6, 2017

Hullo. This has been quite the week, but as it's still in process, I'll save it for next time. This time, I'll lean just the facts. Well, just the facts,...

037: the Russian doll model of comics writing.

August 23, 2017

Hullo. This is mostly a FACTS one, because I realise that as I have an hour left in the working day it may be possible to get four (count 'em!) scripts off...

037: a kind of glowy black

August 16, 2017

Hullo. Don't worry. I've got no comics out this week, so I won't be trying to make you spend any coins. Keep your coins. Save them. Get enough and you can...

036: Smart But Not As Smart As You Hope You Are

August 9, 2017

Hullo. I still need to finish off Star Wars 39 today, so this will be more of a Just The Facts one than usual... except I actually wrote a short essay during...

035: write your own happy ending

August 2, 2017

Hullo. Some days you want to sit down and write of your odd addiction to Glow, or your problems with Ready Player One on a philosophical level, or just wax...

034: he should beat me up with his fists

July 26, 2017

Hullo. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Wednesday's newsletter is full of typos. Wednesday's writer is full of tea and cornflake cluster bites, oh god, he's...

033: what games journalists were like while hungover

July 12, 2017

Hullo. I've managed to write my pages for today in the morning, and it's only 3pm, and if I get this done quickly, I think I can finish this and get some...

032: be careful with unleashing your pithy aphorisms

July 5, 2017

Hullo. Hmm. The sort of week that was so busy that I didn't get anything done. Sometimes you spin the plates, and sometimes the plates spin you. Let's write...

031: the phrase “mucustard”

June 28, 2017

Hullo. It's been quite a selection of weeks. My rhythm for these things has been thrown off due to a variety of things – frankly, there's been some...

030: I'm sorry for your pain.

June 7, 2017

Hullo. Today I am feeling happier, fitter, more productive. I am writing this in a coffee shop and I am ignoring the blueberry crumble that is making eyes at...
