SNL UK I love you, the cast are great, the writers are great, the tone is perfectly, acutely British. Just please stop using AI for your pictures.

Went on a little expedition this morning to start growing tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅

Keir Starmer gets his policy ideas from Bunny Vs Monkey - confirmed 🫡

Facebook memories reminded me it was 14 years ago today I went to the wrap party for a magazine I’d been working for. It was in an underground bar and at some point in the evening the bartender decided to set the ceiling on fire. (Terrible photos I know but still, WTF)

🚀 Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came to our special Megalomaniacs drawalong at The Emmanuel Centre today! There were 800 of you there, and even more watching on the livestream, as we drew the Megalomaniacs together before coming up with a brand new comic based on all your ideas!

Megalomaniacs featured in today’s Guardian! “Eyewatering colour” @nellucnhoj.bsky.social 🤩

What a beautiful thread 💖

Shout out to @jonlock.com and Nich Angell for their brilliant author profile 🤩 🤩 🤩 And to @thebookseller.com for devoting space to children’s comics like this. What a boom we’re in!

This was a question on our weekly quiz and let me tell you there were: Discussions

Out today! 🚀🚀🚀

These goosey bastards hissed at me and wouldn’t let me past. I told them they should get a proper job and start saving for a pension, and they soon backed down.

This week’s Bunny Vs Monkey will hopefully invoke Questions! For The Parents! 😬

On BBC News just now, please enjoy this man’s tshirt.

The best delivery an artist can get, new art supplies! My dog insisted we do an unboxing video.

🚨HUMANS OF EARTH!🚨Today is the day the MEGALOMANIACS crashland into your planet and start taking it over! Inside this book you will find some of the WEIRDEST, GROSSEST, MOST RIDICULOUS FUTURE OVERLORDS EVER ENCOUNTERED, so your Earth children are sure to LOVE them! 🪐A brand new comic series out NOW!

How is it you can wake up more tired than when you went to sleep? How does that flipping work.

Sorry but today’s purple row on Connections is objectively stupid.

I’ve got a few fun things planned for the big Megalomaniacs event this Saturday, but I needed some artwork printed asap. Shout out to @comicprintinguk.bsky.social who once again smashed it 💪

This is teacake weather.

Official launch tomorrow but they might be creeping into your local bookshop already 🤩🤩🤩

Pro tip: don’t spend most of your day watching found footage Japanese horror on YouTube if your partner has long dark hair and comes to bed later than you do.

Still thinking about the SNL UK Irish grandad.

The Poke is a weird account isn’t it. Verrry occasionally they tell you you’re on their list of funniest bluesky posts or whatever, so you go look at their website where you either have to pay or accept their data harvesting to see which post it was, even though you’re their flipping content.

Getting older is learning that most other adults are idiots, driving around their meatsuits at the constant whim and mercy of prejudice, bias, and opinion, while loudly proclaiming all three of these things to be facts.

For the benefit of any other MOTU collectors, look at these beautiful James Jean versions which you can buy now: creations.mattel.com

A while ago I went on eBay and got copies of a magazine I used to love called Zero. Got some great demos with it. Just need to buy an old Amiga 500 again now.

Ten years ago today. Let me know if you see her 🤷🏻‍♂️

Whoever drew this Looshkin is my hero.

It is weird how you don’t really get bugs splatted on your car so much anymore. I have vivid memories as a kid of seeing licence plates coated in them. I understand the reasons (more insects back then) but I don’t remember everything else being full of insects. It doesn’t quite make sense.

There's no way this hasn't been done, but I can only remember seeing this with the cow tools cow over lilah in the last panel, no tools. so.

I don’t think this man is a professional at ALL. What is he DOING?

Popped up to London to prepare for Saturday’s big Megalomaniacs event by checking out the beautiful venue, signing 600 books and nearly as many posters. We’re live streaming it too, tickets: waterstones.com/events/megalomaniacs-the-invasion-begins-event-with-jamie-smart/london-piccadilly Hooray!

In Britain this is considered the highest form of praise.

Tonight we saw a band called Moth Slut. They were very good.

Wow, SNL UK was always going to be tricky to pull off but that was very impressive. A few stand out players, but strong throughout, and enough jokes to be widely funny if detractors are willing to give it a go too. Well done everyone!

8pm toast. There are no rules anymore.

There’s not a single bad song on the Jar Of Flies ep. Not even the weird last one. If anything, it has some of their best work on it.

🚀 NEXT SATURDAY! I’ll be on stage leading a ridiculous drawalong based on my new book Megalomaniacs, and you can tune in and join the fun wherever you are! Livestream tickets available here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-str...

The quaint British tradition of complaining there’s no new comedy shows and then doing nothing but trying to drag a new comedy show down before anyone’s even seen it 🫡

Did they hang this coat rack upside down, orrr…

I can’t imagine willingly listening to a band who use AI for their artwork.

🏄🏻‍♂️ We escaped to a little place by the sea for a week, and it was such a blessing. Also we got to take Rocky to the beach for the first time. Not entirely sure he enjoyed it, but thankfully he was chilled out most of the time. I really needed the break, but now back to work and emails 💪

Remembering the ancient ways

Megalomaniacs isn’t out until next week but it looks like they’re invading bookstores already! Some independent bookstores even have special stuff like bookmarks and colouring sheets to go with it! 💖🚀

I was honoured to draw the poster for this year’s London Children’s Literature Festival! 💖

I’ve watched the new Spider-Man trailer and I think I’ve spotted the FIVE main villains who are going to be in the film! They are: 1) Terry Bigguns 2) Angry Quiche 3) Falulah Fsssssch 4) Nigel Goes To Church 5) The Piss Excited for this one! Please like and subscribe! 🙏
