Turbo Bunnies continue to reign supreme.

A sneak peek at Croaky 5, coming in May.

Just to recap: I switched to Smash after WeTransfer became unusable 🙂

Andor good but spent the whole series waiting for it to get as good as everyone said it was. Also where were all the aliens? Lobster head guys etc

Sure would be nice if I could hold just one drawing event without getting ill afterwards 🙂

Let’s talk about AI art. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

CROAKY: Escape from Crow Castle is out now. Some fun surprises in this one, with a bit of spookiness too 😱🐦‍⬛🏰

Me asking for another deadline extension

SHMF turned 10 this week, which is mad! For a more earnest reflection on it do check out my instagram @superhappymatty if you fancy. Cheers 🍄

Think I loved everything about Hollow Knight apart from playing the game

Trevor TO THE MAX

Wading through AI slop on Pinterest like that grandma in the acid lake in Dante's Peak

Come draw Super Happy stuff! 🍄

5yo borrowed this book from the local library. Read it at bedtime and I'm not sure who enjoyed it more 😅 Great buddy comedy between a #crab and a #prawn, lots of nice facts thrown in. The images are gorgeous and full of so many details and hidden surprises. Can't recommend it enough!! #rockpool

Apple did a great job making the Pencil Pro as slippery as possible

Anyone here draw on iPad? Are you using paper-like / glass screen protectors or raw dogging it? I need answers

Private Eye hits the nail on the head

Well, didn't expect that 😅 Super Happy Magic Forest is an AWARD-WINNING TV show! We scooped Best Digital Children's Content at the Broadcast Digital Awards 2025 last night. This show had amazing humans making it. I'm endlessly grateful to them 🍄

Awards night ✨️

Me waiting for a dragon to appear in Tears Of The Kingdom

Was in a Y2 class this week doing a drawing workshop and two kids started fighting. Started with clawing at each other's faces and ended with them both holding chairs and using them to jab and parry. I was halfway through drawing a pixie.

Excellent work Nich 🙌🙌🙌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've got a week of school workshops coming up, can anyone recommend any remedies to look after my tender vocal chords? They're going to be cooked by day 3

Took up studying just so I could listen to lo-fi

The boss just stormed into my studio, declared "regular Mario Kart breaks all day today" and then left. Wow

This was a challenge but I'm glad I did it. College age kids (based on this TINY sample) don't say much or give much away. One just got up and left 10 minutes in (💀) but another stayed after to chat further and show me their own animations which were honestly better than anything I made at college.

Just picked up my Nintendo Switch, opened my front door, and drop-kicked it into the street

About to go and talk to a media studies class at the local 6th form college. Really hope they think I'm cool 💀

The UK government misled the public in the AI & copyright consultation. This calls the legitimacy of the consultation into question. 1/🧵

False equivalence all over this. Comparing generative AI to other modes of expression that society was slow to accept doesn't fly when those new movements weren't built on creative theft. 🚮

Topsy and Tim books were wild
