"Just read Santa Claus Vs the Nazis." www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

The writing of Santa Claus in the Land of the Soviets continues apace. I'm having a great time being back with these characters, and I'm giggling as I'm writing it - which is always a good sign.

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Motherfuckaaaaaaaaaaaa

Thought Bubble was very hectic and I didn't manage to take many photos, but here are 3:

If it radiates we can bleed it.

@benjamindickson.bsky.social picked this up and Jerusalem at #thoughtbubble Read this already. Loved it. Will definitely be picking up auslander when released

As much as I'm looking forward to Thought Bubble, it looks like the drive up there tomorrow is gonna be a nasty one.

Work on Santa Claus in the Land of the Soviets continues. The script now includes a car chase, because why not.

On Sunday I completed the first treatment draft for Santa Claus in the Land of the Soviets, the long-promised sequel to Santa Claus vs the Nazis. It still needs a lot of work, but the basic structure is now there and I'm quite pleased with what I've come up with.

It hasn't happened in Wales due to the abundance of dragons.

Huge thanks again to @brokenfrontier.bsky.social for this review. 😁

Wow. I can't tell you how delighted I am with this review! Thank you so much @lydiaturner97.bsky.social!

#mcmcomiccon is over. It was pretty good, I tried out a new display which worked well. One thing though - the cover of Chamberlain, to state that it's about WW2, has a swastika on it. This has not been problematic at all before, but at this con, it caused some noticeable concern. /1

This weekend I will be at #MCMComicCon, table F-05. I'll have a new comic written by me and illustrated by Jeff Anderson, a satire about a man on the dole who is forced to volunteer as a henchman for a supervillain...

Oh my goodness, everyone!! The NAP COMIX Kickstarter is now LIVE! Help me reach my goal of £6k to bring my bittersweet, heartwarming, hilarious webcomic to life in Real Book Form! tinyurl.com/napcomixks Thank you all so much for your support with this project! Rachael xxx

Did you know George Osbourne was an NWA fan? I was just listening to a track by Kneecap and found myself wondering if any future Tory leaders were right now singing "I'm a H.O.O.D., low life scum that's what they say about me...x

Ben very kindly gave me a copy of this, but I haven't had a chance to write a full review. It's an intriguing account of the much maligned Prome Minister's attempts to keep the peace ahead of World War Two. Well worth your attention, available here: benjamindickson.sumupstore.com/product/cham...

The new edition of Chamberlain has arrived! Same content but without the swastika on the cover. The book has proved really popular, although the first cover was a little controversial. I'll have copies at MCM and Thought Bubble, or you can buy either edition right now from www.bendickson.co.uk

The name Hegseth sounds suspiciously like a Lovecraftian creature to me.

I won't be tabling at #LICAF this year, but I will be going anyway to just hang out. I will have a few copies of my books with me so feel free to grab me, but if there is something specific you want please message here and I will bring a copy for you. You can see my books here: www.bendickson.co.uk

What if they were right and the rapture did happen today, but nobody went?

I'm getting serious Japanese horror vibes from this picture

I'd be willing to bet that Banksy is delighted to be considered a menace again!

I've been re-reading Criminal after several years. I couldn't really remember the stories, but wow, they are SO well done.

Chamberlain, Silent Horizon and Children of the Moon book 1 are all now on Goodreads. If anyone has read any of them and would like to review them, it would be much appreciated!

Netflix currently have a murder mystery series set around Loch Ness. It looks intriguing, but if I watch it and the murderer doesn't turn out to be the Loch Ness Monster then I will be cancelling my subscription.

This is a page from Chamberlain, near the end of the book after Chamberlain has become a reluctant hawk. benjamindickson.sumupstore.com/product/cham...

Thank you to my awesome friend Sara for posting this! 😁🙏 As she says, the graphic novel "Chamberlain", which tells the story of the appeasement era and the buildup to WW2, is available on my website (which Sara designed incidentally) www.bendickson.co.uk

I've just set up international shipping on my website. I'm not expecting many international orders, though - even before tariffs are applied the postage is INSANE www.bendickson.co.uk

No you read this and then spent the next 5 mins mucking around with a shit bit of Javascript to test the idea out

You can tell a lot about people by the company they keep.

"NOW THAT IS PROPER ENGLISH!" - commentator. No idea what it means but who cares

Had some fun updating @benjamindickson.bsky.social's comics website - slowly, slowly, because I never have enough time for anything these days! I've also given it an alt text upgrade (not yet complete) :) bendickson.co.uk I first put it together in 2022 I think. It's had a couple of updates since.

I'll be tabling in the Comic Zone at London Film and Comic Con this weekend! I'll have copies of my new book Silent Horizon with me, along with Chamberlain, Children of the Moon and Santa Claus Vs the Nazis! Come and say hi!

I did a podcast with Eoin McAuley about my experiences in the comics scene etc. (incidentally I will be at London Film and Comic Con this weekend) www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Yg...

Equaliser movies would be a lot shorter if Robert McCall would stop faffing and storm the bad guys' stronghold when they first turn up.

"Standing by, Douglas Hurd"

If anyone knows a power-player at Greggs Bakery in the UK, let me know, cause I'm after a McDonald's style movie tie-in for ROGUE TROOPER. 😂👍

What went through my mind when seeing the soldiers nonchalantly trudging through the parade:

Apparently WW3 will be coming before GTA6.

Excellent work by Private Eye, here.

Everybody is a nobody to somebody.

This isn't a good look, guys.

Big news: I now have a shop on my website! If you would like to buy any of my books, you can now buy them from me directly!

Thanks MCM for a great show! My next con appearance will be at Hi Vis in Birmingham, on 21st June, then London Film and Comic Con on 5th July.

I believe this same argument has been used by pirate movie websites. And far more sinister industries. If your business model is dependent on theft, then... Perhaps it's not a good business model?

Meanwhile, at MCM London...
