Love this, from my friends Jane and @andrewgraystone.bsky.social, who open up their home for asylum seekers to stay.

The enemy - how they travel

Posting (with considerable apprehension) my TEDx talk. Topic: My case for cycling as a way to mitigate against climate change. The talk didn't happen quite as originally planned, so it was filmed, in China and Essex. Please forgive any imperfections in my delivery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9cT...

Drawn last week, when I wasn’t doing that well. For anyone who is struggling a bit, for whatever reason. It’s OK to have days when we just get by.

Niche tech post. If anyone knows how to get your Procreate brushes back after the latest not-asked-for update I’d appreciate knowing. (cc @procreate.com )

My commute to The Cafe* this morning. *Essex Wildlife Trust Langdon. Are hashtags a thing? #essexwildlifetrust #langdon

Hello to new followers (no idea quite how you're finding me, but... hello!). This is the kind of thing I do. And my best work, every week, is in my newsletter, which you can subscribe to here: diagramclub.substack.com Anyway, thank you for following.

January 2026 Rethinking everything. If you have any idea or opinion about what a man drawing diagrams can offer the world that the world might pay for, I’d like to hear from you via any of the channels.

Latest issue of Diagram Club, my cartoon-based newsletter (No 68). - The newsletter is pivoting - A new feature is revealed - One reason for optimism in 2026 - Also I have a new hat diagramclub.substack.com/p/068-one-re...

A cartoon: Cycling on a budget. Summarising just a small amount of the info you'll find on budgetcycling.uk. (Image from the book 'From A to B', by Dave Walker, published by Bloomsbury.)

Restarting this little project.

The fitted sheet: specifically designed to very nearly fit, but not quite. From the book Household Problems: Domestic Incompetence in Diagrams. Which is [capitalisation] AVAILABLE NOW - amzn.to/4pSA2ym and the other Amazons.

Thanks to Liz - that’s so nice to hear.

Thanks to those who have been in touch to say they enjoyed receiving the book yesterday. Here’s evidence (or an elaborately-constructed hoax) demonstrating that at least five copies exist. Also, a drawing about loading the dishwasher. If you’d like to buy it (and please do), there’s a link below.

To all friends, supporters, and both people shown this randomly by the algorithm: Merry Christmas! Here’s to ongoing adventures on two (or any other number of) wheels. From all at Diagram HQ (me).

Never been less qualified to gatecrash the #clergymaltclub hashtag, but… seems a shame to break the tradition in year 10, so here we are. 0% these days. Hello everyone.

Ten strategies for finding the item that isn’t in the place you 100% definitely left it. From my book Household Problems: Domestic Incompetence in Diagrams. (Still, at this moment, available for Christmas delivery: amzn.to/4pSA2ym )

News! A new book. Household Problems: Domestic Incompetence in Diagrams. It’s a collection of more than 44 cartoons, as seen in my Diagram Club newsletter. A bit late in the year? Sure, but still available for Christmas delivery. Amazon UK link: amzn.to/4pSA2ym (available internationally too)

I can think of 3-5 reasons you might have cause to strongly object to this, but anyway, this is my Christmas carols Spotify playlist (misc genres): open.spotify.com/playlist/6Qn...

Walking this afternoon. Langdon Hills, Essex.

Part 2 of my visit to China. Welcomed incredibly warmly, amazing book launch event, filming the TEDx talk that couldn’t happen, finding my second-favourite cafe in the world (etc). open.substack.com/pub/diagramc...

For anyone waiting for my newsletter- lots to write about, but wanted to focus on being here in China while I still could. So planning to send it in a day or two when I’m home.

This sums up my experience of China. Young man on the hotel reception desk read this, took me out of the hotel to a corner shop, bought me a screwdriver, and said ‘ this is my gift to you’.

Could do with some tech help from anyone who knows about iPads. Does anyone know how I can disable this tiny floating keyboard and force the iPad to use the full-sized one? Google says I can pinch it to the large one - that’s incorrect unfortunately. It would make a big difference to me whilst away.

Had the best day cycling in and exploring Taiyuan, China, with a brilliant bunch of people from an environmental organisation. A few photos. The posters are advertising an event for the launch of the Chinese translation of my book, The Cycling Cartoonist, on Wednesday.

Newsletter from China: open.substack.com/pub/diagramc...

This wasn’t when was planned for yesterday, but can’t complain as far as replacement activities go: Visit to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

(1/3) Hello all. A little update, as I know some of you are following my progress in China / cheering me on. The photo above was taken at last night’s rehearsal for the TEDx talk. However: sadly the actual TEDx event today had to be cancelled, for reasons that I’m not going to elaborate on here.

Rehearsal for tomorrow.

First time seeing a physical copy of this today.

Been cycling today. This is the Greenway, a kind of cycling M25 that circumnavigates Chengdu, China. Opinion: this is what cycling infrastructure should look like.

Hello world. I’m in China!

From my newsletter (diagramclub.substack.com ): A drawing with title ‘Economic growth’.

Anyone print their own greetings cards, and able to advise?

Possibly incoherent rantings, but anyway: paragraph break for my newsletter that turned into a diagram: The new even- thinner mobile phone.
