That thing where you can’t sleep because an idea for a novel that you have no time to write has taken over your brain & it won’t let go …

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

📚 Happy OcTBR Challenge to all who celebrate! 📚 The rules are easy: we all have stacks of books waiting to be read, right? Well, this is the month that we aim to read as many of them as possible! That's it. We simply cosy up, read some beautiful, scary, funny, heartfelt books, and enjoy ourselves.

I missed this very sweet review of my story when it came out: "If you need something beautiful to make you feel a bit better about the world, read this." 😭 Thank you Sara!

Inking practice

just guess

Today = audio editing + 4hr team planning meeting + team lunch + escape room. Given three out of the five of us had never done one before, I thought we did pretty well! They gave us badges for completing it at the end 😊

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com p.s. my new book of science cartoons 'Physics for Cats' is out now. Visit www.tomgauld.com for details

My splendid translator in France, Mikael Cabon, asked me to support an urgent campaign, launching today, opposing AI being used instead of people. I do so willingly, and feel same on behalf of audiobook readers and bookworld artists. I hope readers worldwide will show their agreement.

It's honestly bizarre. We read picture books to our kids, then at an arbitrary point expect them to stop being interested in the pictures

I cannot tell you how many parents I met across the last few events who said that comics started their kids reading. Just comics. It’s the one thing that worked. 🫡

Release date set as The Simpsons movie returns for sequel after two decades

Anything to report?

Had dinner with a lovely friend who cooked for me, & then we watched ep 1 of #BonAppetitYourMajesty. FL is a bit slow & clearly has not watched enough #KDramas to twig that it’s time travel, while ML was amusing & unlikable at this stage, but the food stuff was excellent. We will watch more!

"BLUE LOCK" Season 3 is officially in production, adapting the Neo Egoist League arc. Plus, a live-action film from CREDEUS will hit theaters in Japan in summer 2026, just in time for the World Cup.

Today, the deer went to see a rare creature living deep in the forest, keeping it a secret from everyone. At first sight, its strangeness startled him, but upon talking with it, he realized it was a very kind creature. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

BLUELOCK is getting both a 3rd season anime, AND a live-action film! The live-action film will debut next summer!

When my eldest child was in Year 4, her teacher made a comment to me about how other kids thought she was a little childish because she still played with plushies. My first thought: “She’s TEN, for goodness sake!” My second thought: “You know we’re Asian, right??”

This is so true

Charles Xavier: My school helps mutants control their powers. This is Cyclops, he was my first student and he is totally incapable of controlling his powers. This is Jean Grey, she started with Scott. She also cannot control her powers. And meet Rogue, yep you guessed it, can't control her powers

Vibrato, a collaboration between TENBLANK and OVER CHROME from the hit Netflix jdrama #GlassHeart, will be released on October 8th!

There’s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’s Bone appearing in Disney Adventures and my mom advocating for comics in her school. I always wondered how Disney decided to inject an indie juggernaut into its massive readership. @davidharper.bsky.social tracked down this history:

Lifeblood now have a page that shows the blood supply across the whole of Australia using some cute graphics. Plasma is currently low, so if you are able to donate, book an appointment soon! www.lifeblood.com.au/donors/blood...

Got my performance review.

Happy International Rabbit Day!!! Ill post rabbits to celebrate 🥳✨ #🐰

Comics is so unsustainable as a career, so taxing on the body and mind, and receives so little financial and marketing support from trad publishing, and yet… I keep wanting to make more of them. I am blessed to love making comics. I am cursed to love making comics.

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Mark Zuckerberg is introducing a feed that's just 100% AI slop. No pesky creativity from real people to get in the way. Eat up little piggies

"What is that noise? Is that music? And why are these grown men prancing about to ugly music? This is not art. This is not a Jellicle cat. What the hell is that on their legs? It’s like they cut up jumpers and put them on their legs." (Happy b-day, T.S.!)

Ten years since Every Open Eye came out?? Which means next year is ten years since I wrote, storyboarded and co-directed the video for Bury It: youtu.be/B9BLMNn0PrQ?...
