See you all there!

Cool to see a bunch of friends who'll be there too :)

I will be here, in the mighty Sheff, in October!

We’re gonna be at SCARF! Our first con outside of Scotland!!! (Timeline wise it might also be the debut of some new comics from is)

I'm going to this and the lineup looks stacked!!

I'm going to be here! The ONLY Cartoonist approved by both NATO AND Bargain Hunt.

v excited for this one, should be fun!

I'll be here with some many amazing comic creators. But don't let that put you off. @chrismole.bsky.social has organised an amazing inaugural comic con here.

Will 100% be heading along to this. Looks brilliant. Well done @chrismole.bsky.social for pulling it all together.

Mine and @dontfoldpress.bsky.social first con outside of Scotland !!!

Quietly amused at how much it ticks me off when I catch someone clearly using AI to write email replies to me - you should have proof-read before you included a wonky-ass paragraph which awkwardly quotes a specific phrase from my last email back at me, my guy 😤

Fucking hell, this poor woman. At what point do we start considering the US a pariah state like North Korea?

It's been a most triumphant weekend but I am so weary 😭

What a weekend! Great to kick it off supporting SKYCLAD on Friday then an amazing sell out ceilidh at Crookes social last night! We’re all feeling tired but very happy today ☺️ #ceilidhband #powerhouseceilidhband #folkmetal #sheffieldceilidh #livemusic

I don't generally shill for any company but I can't recommend Butternut Box highly enough - Max's health has improved massively since we got him on it and his coat is extra glossy! If you have a dog, give it a go and use this link so we both get some quids off: butternutbox.com/Chris3981?sh...

.....sorry, what??

This is a great time to get off Substack. Beehive and Ghost are good alternatives. As an added benefit, your blog won't be driving traffic to Nazis and their sycophants.

Overjoyed to report that the new Muppet Show special is absolutely wonderful - I laughed, I cried, I was filled with warm nostalgia! MORE OF THAT PLEASE

Go and follow my folk rock/metal ceilidh band so we can feel good about ourselves! 🙌

Hello to our first followers here! We're excited to share the news that we're playing @shrewsburyfolk.bsky.social this year! We'll be kicking off the ceilidh programme on Friday 28th August to get your festival off to a roaring start! Tickets available now at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival website 🤘

Sinners... but make it Leyendecker #SinnersMovie

I would like to note that Max has his tea at about the same time every single day. And yet, 30 mins prior to teatime, here he is giving me the saddest stare any dog has ever turned on their owner:

People really underestimate just how fucking cool Tetsuo Hara actually is. He is almost blind and it is about as effective against his drawing as a wet napkin against Kenshiro's iron chest. He funds children's hospitals. He said AI will never win because it can't be prepared to die like a human.

Watched this video and it's a real eye-opener - but despite having been a real musician for 20+ years I couldn't say with certainty that my (admittedly half-deaf) ears would be able to immediately identify an AI slop remix, so I can't really blame other people falling for it. Very upsetting!

Also while I'm here, in relation to the constant stream of news and bad things - I'm going to stop thinking "maybe THIS is the thing that will get the bad guys" because let's be real, there is no one thing that will impact any of these rich people because the rich are shielded from consequence.

I was literally talking to a colleague at work on Thursday about how great Catherine O'Hara was in Schitt's Creek (and everything else, tbh) without any knowledge of what was coming - deeply sad news and a tragic loss 💔

So I have been really enjoying MIO: Memories in Orbit (beautiful Metroidvania, lovely vibes) but this "permanent health loss because you explored the map" mechanic is absolute fucking BULLSHIT. It's a MV!! I should not be penalised for exploration!!

I'm all for doing things online for convenience but this whole remortgage process is doing my nut in, absolute Sisyphean nightmare 😤

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

All the Philly folk gearing up for some protests

All the emails for SCARF will go out in a few hours so I just wanted to post a few thoughts/notes on the curation process and explain how we got to our decisions:

I have scheduled so many emails this morning (all going out tomorrow) 😮‍💨

My mental file of "creative people who are actually transphobic cunts" is getting depressingly overstuffed as of late. It's not that hard to be a good person, is it??

Spent a large chunk of my day reading an @edzitron.com newsletter about the state of AI at the end of 2025 and I am once again wholeheartedly recommending it to all fellow AI haters, because he's done the research & is laser-focused on explaining how this whole thing is a fucking con!

Came into work early specifically so I can have a longer lunch and go to the new Hong Kong cafe near my office for noodles... no, I'm not always thinking about food, why do you ask?

I'll be sending out all the applicant result emails for SCARF on Monday, so keep an eye on your inboxes (and thank you in advance for your understanding!) 🙏

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

Guess I'm not going to the US any time soon after reposting this 😂

Every time there’s slightly irregular news from the White House.

I didn't have "go on BBC Radio York to talk about toilets" in my schedule for this morning but I guess that's what just happened 😂 🚽 The toilet king returns!
