I'm unsure when exactly I soured on April fools day, I suspect it was during the degradation of reality that I noticed first under George W Bush and was consistently decimated under the first Trump admin. I briefly enjoyed it when my kids were young and you could do silly things like give them

Terran Omega, the Ghosts of War - ep2 page 7 - A whole new page is up over at my Patreon, www.pauljholden.com/patreon/?via=bsky&post=to-ghosts-of-war-154304607

This feels like the perfect legacy to a trump era space program.

The only April fool’s gag I will tolerate.

Cor. Off to Gorillaz and It’s nice that Jamie Hewlett has given Steve Pugh some work.

Have no gorillaz t shirts. So instead I’m going as engineer on doomed starship. I think that will capture the vibe.

Paul Verhoeven leaning in to camera “ya. Starship troopers has no politics in it all. “ *WINK*

Like most people working in sci-fi I’m apolitical. And dREDd as we all know isn’t about politics. Nothing political to see here. No sirree. Nope. Please can I have millions of dollars thankew.

Wow guardians of the galaxy 4 looks amazing. Sad they lost star lord but excited to see Lobo.

I know it’s churlish to say it but I’ve got into an inking groove and now I’ve got to get ready to go see gorillaz in concert and I want to keep working.

Do you know exactly how much piss a building like this could hold?

Comic book artist search post: Looking for a Black British artist, preferably from the West Midlands (not essential but would be a big plus), who has a naturalistic style and comfortable with slice of life drama/comedy. If they're familiar with the 1980s and 90s, that's a big plus, too.

YES! HA HA HA… YES!

Going back to digital inking. Trying to figure out how to stop it feeling robotic - the problem is I find it easy to lose time in the mark making and it stops feeling like drawing. I need a pomodoro to stop me every 25 mins to take a break.

Fecking hell. TOm Jones doing a concert in Belfast. He’s 85.

Blog: Week beginning Monday 30 March 2026 https://www.pauljholden.com/week-beginning-monday-30-march-2026/

there is a "MATCHBOX" (you know, the toy car company) movie, starring John Cena from the director of Atomic Blonde coming to the most prestigious streamer, apple tv - I swear I'm not making that up.

Just before he smuggled eggs off that island.

In return for information about the thieves, Crimestoppers are offering a large bounty.

this looks like a turner painting

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Primo colourist added some gorgeous hues to my BANE. Unreal!!

I've changed channel to some insane show called "Ancient Aliens" and somehow this one is all about comics? I don't know what's going on. They've just recapped the transformers comics and talking about how it all ties to ancient astronauts.

I saw those two posts I just RTd one after another and you should too.

if you are going to #c2e2 would HIGHLY recommend checking out @readtinyonion.bsky.social BOOTH! A lot of awesome, merch, OF COURSE creative artists/people!! Be on the lookout for Rascal Randy from EXQUISITE CORPSES as well and their shenanigans. Also thank you to the team for being awesome/kind!

…who

I wish I'd been able to watch SNLUk in the early 90s coming back from the pub drunk with my brother. Some of that was glorious. We'd've been talking about it for DAYS.

I'm not sure this weird "gluing wraps musical oliver" snluk skit is funny, but it's very very impressive.

Jools' Hour was the best Doctor Who episode I've seen in a year #SNLUK

there's a "The 'Burbs" tv show???

(whisper it: I'm quite enjoying SNLUK again ... the british themed pub with Jamie Dornan interlude made me burst out laughing)

I miss hearing about wikis and I miss hearing about WYSIWYG. Bring those things back.

'Police gave chase hoping to retrieve the haul, but the thieves just gave them two fingers'

Since Trump wants to rename the strait of Hormuz to “the strait of trump” can I also suggest since we all know it’s not “straight” give it a word that actually represents the shape and call it the “the crook of Trump”
