For sale: Victorian shoes, slightly soggy.

I've stuck randomly generated conspiracies onto Matt from the Telegraph's cartoons to create "Tinfoil Matt" (Not AI, me writing templates, the good old fashioned way to do these things with a strong degree of authorship.) Follow @tinfoil-matt.bsky.social NOW.

Big changes afoot next year as my wife goes from part time working over the past 20 years to full time work. I would also like to start changing my drawing habits/hours so I can get more of a 9-5 rhythm going so I can take holidays & weekends (At the moment I take them but they’re laced with guilt)

Jesus Christ has anyone ever made four colours look so intensely vibrant.

Submarine mode today: dive deep and silent running. Gotta get some work done. As a reminder I do a fantastic sci fi webcomic ghost story over on Patreon that has 18 weeks of story at Pauljholden.com/patreon.php?via=bs which if you want to support me you can go follow on Patreon (free! It’s free!)

You are what you pretend to be.

All of them will have bone spurs and be unable to go to sea.

Enjoying the schadenfreude of the so called alpha males getting their melt knocked in but let’s face it if they’d’ve won their respective fights they’d still’ve been unalloyed losers.

Okay this is some strong as hell maths. Can't tell you how much buying the Size Five games helps me out. If you follow me but don't own these yet, please grab them now. It's the *actual best Christmas present* to help keep my weird little company afloat. Thank you.

Would all my iPhone icons calm there knickers and stop getting Christmas themes.

Bad night ahead with the old ibs. Early signs is it might the worse one for a long time. Gritting teeth and filling hot water bottle (its literally the only thing that’s ever helped)

Matt Damon may not be human he may be the immortal representation of the lost warrior. Constantly lost in every era. In the far future on a planet in cryosleep, in World War II lost in battle while his brothers die and on the Odyssey as the first lost warrior in written history.

regardless of your opinions on Wendigoon the video he just put out about the book Heart of Darkness is fantastic and really intriguing- most stuff that gets a really interesting video essay like this are tv shows or video games but to see this for a book, especially a challenging one, rules

My son uses the text message “all good” To mean “ok” or “yup that’s what I’ll do” and I maintain that the message “all good” should be read as “actually no, I don’t need that I’m all good” Is this an age thing? Has all good inverted in meaning ?

Folks make the This Will Fix Me joke all the time but I’m not kidding

Watching spider man homecoming (fist time since release) still a fun film which does sometimes feel like it’s desperate to escape the weight of the marvel cinematic universe while also be firing from it (those films are all one big soup in my head now so I’m watching it thinking I’ve missed bits)

Samuel L Jackson is 77. This is wonderfully in-depth interview conducted by @bilgeebiri.bsky.social Jackson is insight as usual on the technical aspects of acting but as you can see below, he’s just damned entertaining & straight-talking: www.vulture.com/article/samu...

You know I’ve mulled over going to Christmas mass this year for this exact reason.

Watching elvis the movie and wondering who is the closest to an Elvis at their height (in terms of audience reaction/power) and I suspect it’s taylor swift

I want to add to this: this is why you avoid ai at all costs. Two people with similar ideas using ai will inevitably produce similar looking slop. Two people with identical ideas written by them will always be different. There’s a reason so many slop ai art is so easy to spot and so samey.

Wife “watching the elvis film with Thomas(our son)” me excited, “which elvis film??” Wife “elvis” me “yes but which one???” Wife “ELVIS” me “WHICH ONE?” Anyway it was “Elvis”

Wife was talking to her 20 year old nephew who is newly single “i suppose your on the dating apps?” “No I prefer to meet people when I’m out it’s mostly older people on dating apps” and it makes me feel like I’m someone who lived through the creation and subsequent abandonment of the great pyramids

"I'm so sorry this is happening to you, bespoke AI prompters," I try to articulate, in-between bouts of hysterical laughter.

Want to try my sketch podcast Crowley Time but not sure where to start? Well here it is, a brand new Best Of with a difference! Finally, me, Tom Crowley, is made to answer for his crimes by the highest authority: aliens. Available on your podcast app and at crowleytime.com now!

The internet is like the golden mile (every town has one, that magical street that is filled with great eateries). First it’s brilliant food place after brilliant food place. Then algorithms kick and all the shops start selling fried chicken. Then the ai kicks and all the fried chicken

You think when people go on holiday and they leave their cats with other people for a week that the cats talk about it to each other like they’ve been abducted by aliens?

This is absolutely fucking bananas the way that these people are *so close* to getting it but still manage to miss it by a fucking mile.

Comic pals 👋 I’m on the look out to chat with artists who do sequential work in an anime style for a potential project in 2026. Please hit me up or share if you have any recommendations.

Been sitting on a fun judge Dredd story idea for years and thought well this will never happen and then suddenly realised it doesn’t need to be Dredd. That’s the power of lying in the bath!

Accidentally left my phone in the car earlier when I went to Tim Hortons and it was weird because my brain quietened down and I felt a kind of peace. Decided to leave it in the car while we ate. Got back to the car and instantly became Frodo bagging morphing into a monster grabbing the ring.

For gods sake let this be an end to it, and anyone who disagrees I’m sorry you’re just wrong; Santa Claus: The Movie IS A Christmas film.

Well, it's time for the xmas card!

I think I’d like to read electric toasters again. Sadly my original comics are long gone so wondering if there’s a good collection.

once again screaming at people about her public document full of historical clothing references and resources (which had it's most recent update on the 12th of january last year!) heystacks.com/doc/1247/cla...

Of all the people I wasn't expecting to see in the Epstein Files, "The Tycho Monolith from 2001:A Space Odyssey" was definitely one of the most not-expected-ed.

The trumpnited states of trumperica

“Ai is just another tool! Like a hammer. A magical hammer that every time you use it it smashes a bit of your own brain and uses up vast amounts of energy and power and the people who make the hammer are hoping they can replace you with the hammer and often doesn’t even hit the nail except it feels

Season's Greasings.

Well, it's time for the xmas card!

“When people try to sell you on the idea that the future is already settled, it’s because it is deeply unsettled.”

Love it or hate it the Zune is here to stay, google+ is here to stay, the Blackberry is here to stay, the Sinclair C5 is here to stay, the NEC PC Engine is here to stay, Enron is here to stay, Theranos is here to stay, Worldcom is here to stay etc etc etc.

Accidentally sent an audio recording of me taking a whiz, to my mate. Sort of grateful it wasn’t worse. (slightly odd in that it sent from WhatsApp, but I have no record of sending it, but there it was in his received what’s app messages from me…)

We need more great old mysterious gods like Santa, and like horrific undying monstrous creatures with cadaverous orange skin and requiring virgin sacrifices, like trump.

Been for a run. Didn’t want to go. Did go. Can’t wait to finally be finished running because let me tell you (sadly I’ll probably keep going until I die); I do not enjoy it. This “runners euphoria” is not a thing I get.
