071: a comedy Kelvin trying to find absolute zero

June 27, 2018

Hullo. I forgot to say this last week, but I had several folk point out Olympia absolutely was released as a single. Thankfully Alex, the first, also gave me...

070: Lucifer as Nun

June 20, 2018

Hullo. It's me again. I had a brief break, for the dual reason of prioritisation (as in, I had nothing 100% essential to get out so other things took the...

069: a genre which left such deep roots and/or scars

May 31, 2018

Hullo. I'm writing this in a local coffee-shop drinking lemonade because I am such a rebel. Everyone is very impressed. Contents! Vegas Fairford Books &...

068: when is June?

May 23, 2018

Hullo. I like to think that every piece of writing poses a fundamental question that needs to be answered. This newsletter is an exploration of the question...

067: in the land of the feline elves, she was a hobbit.

May 17, 2018

Hullo. Today is very much the sort of day when I'm reminded of a bleak truth. I have a career not because of how I write when I want to write, but how you...

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...
