Goodnight everyone have you replied to all your WhatsApps? Just get them all done, ready for another day.

Got duped by my first AI-voiced podcast. Dammit.

Tá Lúiscín anseo! (le @jamiesmart.bsky.social, d’aistrigh le Fearghas Mac Lochlainn). It’s super to see graphic novels being translated as Gaeilge - brilliant for young readers & teachers! Bulaidh bos @cloiarchonnacht.bsky.social 👏 Available in store & online halfwayupthestairs.ie/product/9781...

Bloody love this. A bunch of old people living out the rest of their days in a hotel while refusing to speak to each other and silently judging each other’s clothes. Life goals 🙏 youtu.be/zgpK5YxqmDo?...

SNL UK this week was worth it for Meek alone. Bloody hell.

Yes I have been working today, but I’ve also written a story about someone having a giant bottom. So it’s not been all bad.

PUZZLE TIME! My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

I’m seeing so much AI muck like this, seeping into children’s books, and every time it makes me furious. If you really, truly care about telling stories to children, keep AI a million miles away from it.

It’s usually by about 10am all the freelancers in the country have said “Oh yeah, it’s a bank holiday” out loud.

Morning! Here’s a Looshkin comic about black holes. Colours by the brilliant @nellucnhoj.bsky.social. All three Looshkin books are out now!🤩

Breaking news: at least 2.3k people are fucking ghouls

When Paul Reiser turns up in a film Sarah: “Is that the guy who was in Aliens?” Me: “he’s the guy who was in My Two Dads who was ALSO in Aliens. This is IMPORTANT.”

Watched As Above So Below again tonight. I love that film. It starts like a found footage Tomb Raider, then rapidly descends into just a great horror movie 👻

How come no one checks these things?

We’re discussing making a few house improvements which gives me the opportunity to go round knocking on walls and pretending I can hear a difference between them.

Bunny and Monkey at Brighton's Children's Parade this morning. They seem to be behaving @jamiesmart.bsky.social

In/near Folkestone? Go get some free comics! 👇👇👇

I wonder who’s going to read all these books I’m never going to read because I already have too many books to read.

If you’re in London today and fancy taking the kids (and yourself!) for some comic goodness, this looks great 🤩

Is that last bit true, or nonsense?

Just called a fly a piss.

This is how my pond is looking at the moment, until a dog stands in the way.

Found a 1984 Shandy can in the garden. There’s still some in it! Or it’s mud. It’s probably mud. Either way it tastes bad!

Rude.

It’s cool waking up at 5 every morning, definitely won’t walk around in a daze and then crash out mid afternoon 💪

Speaking as a historian, just wanna add that we are almost certainly going to receive an Era Name that none of us wants or expects

Oh wow.

Boooo, Skinwigs finished.

Often I get asked my favourite book as a child and I always say the same one, but I notice it’s not in print any more and £200 on eBay. I’m wondering how I petition the publisher to get it back in print. Might make this my mission. I want those authors paid again dammit 🤑

What did he do to get dissed like that?

Remembering when I was asked to draw the official poster for William and Kate’s wedding fifteen years ago today 🫡

We’ve recently been rewatching Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared (the channel 4 version) and it’s just perfect isn’t it. Every line an absolute gem. I couldn’t love it more.

When I was like 6 I had that Fire car at the back and a friend asked to borrow it, but when he gave it back the lights on top were broken. I asked him about it and he said ‘well you shouldn’t have lent it to me then’ and anyway that’s when I learned to not trust anything in this world 🫠

THE REVIEWS ARE IN

If the crumpled bigoted dullards who make saying ‘you can’t joke about anything these days/there’s no free speech in Britain’ their whole personality could just bring themselves to watch SNL UK’s Weekend Update or even Fouracre’s song at the end I think their brains might do a scared little poo.

Radio 2 did a special episode of Book Club all about last weekend’s PHOENIXFEST, and how children are rediscovering the joy of comics 🤩 (Also available wherever you get your podcasts) www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

I made a short film! It’s called ‘DUCKS’ (Music and Sound by the incredible Megalithic Sound, everything else by me) youtu.be/L8vZbIeAdAw?... #animation #ducks #shortfilm #independentfilm #3d #cgi

🤩 PHOENIXFEST 2026 took place over the weekend, biggest one yet. Thousands of tickets sold, a packed schedule of comic events, a huge (incredible) team, and nearly forty of the nicesest comic artists signing, chatting, and drawing for so many enthusiastic children! Photos: Fisher Studios

PhoenixFest day two a little sleepier but still very much up for it, let’s goooooooo 🥳

What a lovely day at the Phoenix Comic festival. Brilliant to see the artists up close, and even better to be reminded how excited children STILL ARE by reading, writing and drawing ✍️

Day one of Phoenixfest done, and what a day it’s been! I got to see a few shows, met a load of really cool kids, did a signing, a ridiculous comic drawalong involving multiple sausages, and I got to hang out with just the nicest comic artists in the world. Thank you to anyone who came along! 💖

PHOENIXFEST2026 lets gooooo 🥳

Shape experts, does anyone know if this shape has a name? I guess it’s leaf shape, but is there an official word for it?

The American urge to try and include that bloody Chumbawumba song in every one of their tv shows.

I got served an advert where an illustrator had drawn a face for a logo, but decided she wanted the face at a 3/4 angle instead, so she fed it into the Adobe AI bot and it served it up for her. And it’s like CMONNN. If you took a little time to learn the fundamentals of drawing, you could DO THIS.

I was still a little hesitant until the beak twang. That got me in.

It arrived! And it’s THICK! What a beautiful archive for the legend that is @evandorkin.bsky.social 🙏

I’ve been teasing the introduction of a new character into the line up of Bunny Vs Monkey, and today I finally got to draw them in their first appearance. So fun. If you’re coming to Phoenixfest, i’m hoping to do a big reveal in my show 🤩

🔥 It’s PHOENIXFEST this weekend! It sold out super quick even though it’s bigger than ever before, but if you want to see me and @neillcameron.bsky.social doing our live shows (and some extra stuff too!) you still can from the comfort of your own home! Tickets: www.ticketsource.com/whats-on/onl...
