Jolly good news this MITTE has been a great loss to the culture of comics

Sue Grant, partner to the late comic writer Alan Grant, was a freelance graphic designer with over 40 years of experience, and a champion for her local community Moniaive, comics and creativity in general. John McShane pays tribute... downthetubes.net/in-memoriam-...

My final update (for now anyway) on the small press comic work of illustrator / cartoonist Isabel Greenberg. Further examples welcomed. boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2026/06/upda...

Head-spinning but makes sense if the club ever committed to a direction and a plan

Alex Fitch chats to Olivia Sullivan, Myfanwy Tristram and Martin Rowson about their work on the latest Panel Borders radio show this Wednesday

TOMORROW? I need to pack some comics to sell you… Please do share this, so I’m not packing in vain

My sale of my latest small comics finishes Sunday night so not long left robjacksoncomics.blogspot.com/2026/05/smal... cheers!

This is much fun to listen to already 7 minutes in m.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ey... The DC comic Superboy used to be subtitled ’The adventures of Superman when he was a boy’ and now I want to read a Celtic version called ‘The mabinogi of Superman’

If we do spend our big attacking money on Savinho or similar left winger instead of a striker, I’d put Tel at 9. Faster and more tricky than our other strikers. Great at controlling the ball. Thumping shot. With Kudus on RW use movement and technique in the middle to get past giant defenders #coys

Been watching that @petermorey.bsky.social live scribing the @streakofpith.bsky.social fixing comics workshop… he’s very good and you should hire him for your event. And now I want to ask him if he writes long words on a piece of paper before lettering them in front of our very eyes?

Many thanks to Martyn Joseph for sharing details of the launch celebration of Noisy Valley by @myfanwytristram.bsky.social www.facebook.com/100057736645... #GraphicNovel #Rhondda #WorkersGallery

A week tomorrow… On Sunday May 31st Cartoon County is going to takeover all the stalls in Brighton Open Market - come an meet more than two dozen cartoonists, comic makers and artists

Here's the fropnt cover for my Sunderland Point comic robjacksoncomics.blogspot.com/2026/05/sund...

Podcast app played me this Cautionary Tales right after another Better Offline look at the delusions around ai podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c... Now I’m picturing Silicon Valley as an ‘alchemists’ quarter Always good work from the two hosts by the way @timharford.ft.com @edzitron.com

They think the problem Labour has in governing, and in convincing the electorate they should be permitted to continue to govern, is one man’s face rather than the party’s policies. Stupid.

I am now open for commissions of pretty much any kind again. I have a week or so before I start a larger project. Send me your ideas and I'll give you a price.

Another Way Out collects 3 new comics by Carol Swain. The landscapes are wreathed with ghosts, and the spaces between words spill over with unsaid secrets. Elusive and intriguing, these stories are never quite what you expect, but always a truth you have known all along. darkandgolden.bigcartel.com

@thegameisaboutglory.co.uk After this weekend I’m looking forward to the next jubilant pod, I ‘confidently’ expect to be celebrating a win in west London and a gooner bottle tonight- but before our match, would you prefer a point at Chelsea or a win against Everton? #coys

Ok #Brighton, have you booked your ticket for Monday’s special @cartooncounty.bsky.social at @waterstones.bsky.social Brighton? @zebko.bsky.social and I will be talking about how and why we made our graphic novels, and how we got them published! www.waterstones.com/events/carto...

Starmer & Labour & other parties really should do the morally right thing. They just need to come & call out Farage & his nasty posse for what they are. What harm can be done by saying enough is enough?!?! Educate people!!!!!

Hey up - 4 more night drawings available as prints at the following link - maximpetergriff.redbubble.com - this week it's circles, meteors and noodles - good.

If you'd like to buy Noisy Valley directly from the gallery that inspired it, you can do so here with a special "Rhondda bundle" that includes greetings cards inspired by the Rhondda land and streetscapes, from the gallery's resident artist Gayle Rogers: www.workersgallery.co.uk/product-page...

Excellent monologue as ever … I think tho we should bin the word ‘raised’. In the same way ‘global warming’ faced decades of cover for harmful choices, ‘raised $billions’ sounds like money has been earned. It’s really loaned or gifted under disguise of ‘investment’ and that’s less manipulative

Hello all my UK pals. The government has handed over our health data to Palantir, a pretty awful company. No consent. You can complain in under a minute if you like. Or ignore me! I just did it and it was pretty painless. Xxx newscord.org/action/nhs-p...

a week on Sunday (so May 31st) come meet @colossive.com @daniellocke.bsky.social @danbellcomics.bsky.social @frasergeesin.bsky.social @grthink.bsky.social @streakofpith.bsky.social @lucysullivan.bsky.social @marxtafford.bsky.social @trumpton.bsky.social @myfanwytristram.bsky.social and many more

Cartoon County doesn’t normally meet in May (Brighton Festival season books all the venues) so this Waterstones event is very welcome indeed Both books look fantastic and both creators are great speakers… come along if you can

Beginning in approximately 10 minutes.

In the latest episode of "Strawjack in Figgerty's Gallop" by Stephen Walsh and Keith Page from Crucible Comic Press, Strawjack is hunting a spy – aided by some dangerous allies: crucible-comic-press.ghost.io/strawjack-in...

Me too! Pop us in your ears later for some comics chat

This film looks like it’ll be amazing, this is a great video with someone passionate and caring about their work (and in a world buried under ai slop this is worth noting), but man alive I feel like there’s a nominative determinism going on with her name youtu.be/bM5_ddYRqYY?...

just putting this here…

If Destiny is available I’d start him and Spence in defence. Porro on the wing S K-M on left. Tel behind Richie. #COYS

Now that’s a great gift

👀 Are you interested in historical sequential art and free all day in London on 2nd May? Got a couple of free tickets left for an event so DM me if so. 👀

I am off to cambridge today, for an event tomorrow morning. First outing for my new hammer, woo! Now slightly smaller and less floppy! It's absolutely free! The event, not the hammer, that'll cost you. #KidLitUK www.cambridgeliteraryfestival.com/events/louie...
