Good morning! It’s Tuesday December 30th 2025! Another day already? Crikey! Onward! (Dated this very day some 47 years ago, 1978’s Misty #48, with its beguiling front and back covers by Shirley Bellwood.) You be careful out there among them English, Joanne Book.

Really glad to see this one come back!!! I worked with @0162tuu.bsky.social and @cadaverkeys.bsky.social on @dontfoldpress.bsky.social and adore both of their work! please sign up for pre-launch! It’s a really important metric for kickstarters

I think this missed the mark. If anyone from @comicbookuk.bsky.social has time to chat with me I would be happy to open a converation.

Take a shot every time the white paper says IP You'll be dead before you get past the introdiction. This mission statement from my DFP press package feels like a sign I'm going to be tapping a lot.

I'm reading that White paper about the comics industry. What I will say for now is that you can tell that nobody under 40 read this things because nobody with a full head of hair gives a fuck about Dan Dare

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people. "… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…" www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/fort...

I’m holding my tongue as I’ve not had a chance to read the White paper in full. That said Chris is smart and I doubt I’ll disagree. what I will say is the first thing I told people about @dontfoldpress.bsky.social was that it was against comics as IP. Here’s the first page of the DFP press release

Lovely to be greeted this morning by the CCIC annual roundup email in my inbox. We're so lucky to have a group of such committed, smart and compassionate people working to make UK comics not just a viable career but a thriving community. Thanks so much guys! www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org

Hi Oni I'm PJ. I'm technically an Eisner nom artist. I have a masters in comics & graphic novels I was nearly the UK young comics laurette. I once went to a con dressed as Jughead and ate 12 burgers that day and threw up. My postfolio is www.peejalien.com and you should high me to do a Jughead comic

Photos of me so everyone knows that I’m cute. it’s important you know that

The Exhibitor Application Form for the inaugural SCARF is now open! Please go here to fill out the form: forms.gle/uXsDuKcCyhdr... And let me know if you find any issues with it! (re-posting this in case the algo punishes me for quote posting..!)

I think there's never been a better time to buy a small press comic. We're going to have to rebuild our own funny pictures economy if they're going to send the big one to shit, but I bet we can figure it out.

Swifties are genuinly insane. Like they are genuinly in a cult. I think that Swift is a billonare freak and no shadowy group made me feel that way.

Love how many ties to Scotland GDTs Frankenstein has!!!

LOOKS AMAZING!!!

The gigantic 200 page climax of Kid Eastwood series 2 is on the shortlist for best narrative at the Selkies this year and I’m honoured to have made the running! Looking forward to tuning in tonight to see who takes it!

Does this guy hate me specifically?

Hey, you there! eagerly downloading that new Full Cast version of those books by the mouldy bigot lady, this is YOU doing that. This is what you are funding, the needlessly cruel ripping up of trans people's lives

Somebody higher the goat 🙏😭

Some pages I drew for @dontfoldpress.bsky.social SOMETHING ALIEN. I am particularly happy with the colours. limited pallet work well I feel

There’s a lot wrong with this but like… why are they blaming gen Z? Woke Dnd is a heritage we proudly take from the millennial’s

wall street journal has discovered Glasgow's small press and gig scene

Our magazine THE BLEEDS has dropped its Autumn issue!!! More details on our instagram. Here's the artists who graced us with work www.instagram.com/catgutcollec...!

This shit should be more than illegal. Like if you admit to using this stuff we should be socially conditioned to beat the shit out of you.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

HOLY FUCK YES

Minor updates on the portfolio site. Have a gander peejalien.com

remember Simpsons comics? its a shame that those arent aroind anymore. Read so many of those s a kid. They felt more exciting than the other kids comics I could get my hands on. Is there a replacement for that market these days?

Junji Ito’s Frankenstein raises the obvious question of “what does this new adaptation (and new medium) offer to this old story?” One possible answer is “haptic visuality” a visual experience with the potential to enhance or alter the dominant themes of the story. #Ito #frankenstein 1/13

The Magazine me and my friends make has dropped a new issue! If you are in Edinburgh you can buy copies at Joys of Edinburgh and if you are in Dundee we'll be selling them on the 23rd at the comics mini market in Edna Maes bakehouse

The greatest of all time Sid is at Thought Bubble! If you’re there too go buy their book GUTS it’s wrassseling and very good!!!

Spent time with my sister for the first time in forever. Got to meet up with a friend. someone threatened to kill me. read a bunch of comics. Pretty good day

Guillermo del Toro's work plays a lot better when you realize it's all essentially chapters of the same book, which is his overall oeuvre, and so each film is more in conversation with his other films than whatever the source material he's adapting is

Following from our announcement that Quindrie Press will be closing at the end of 2026, I want to make people aware that in Spring 2026 we will be opening a one-off comic fund for UK creators. More details will be released next year. Sign up to our newsletter: quindriepress.com/newsletter
