Tommy Cooper sketch.

We went through multiple versions of art for the cover of last year’s version of THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT before we settled, last minute, on what was used.

MURDER SCHOOL is out this year!

Here’s a sketch of Henry Cole and one of the other guys from Shed And Buried. Merry Christmas.

A Christmas tale. The story of my first kiss. A clip from my next graphic novel, MURDER SCHOOL, published by Drawn & Quarterly 2026.

The French edition of WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME made what would have been The Official Selection List for the now cancelled Angoulême Conic Art Festival 2026. I am like the kiss of death. bleedingcool.com/comics/offic...

If you’re looking for ideas for Christmas presents, here are two graphic novels by me published this year you might consider.

RIP Rachel Cooke. Rachel interviewed me for The Observer when I won the Graphic Short Story Prize, reviewed both of my graphic novels for the paper and played an important role in the inflated view I now have of my comics and myself. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Scrappy sketch of Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis. Drawn straight down using pen, brush and ink, no pencil. Obviously, I’m quite pleased with how it’s turned out, which is why I’m sharing it.

Thanks to John Freeman and Down The Tubes for this downthetubes.net/upcoming-mil...

I’m exhibiting at the Milton Keynes Indie Book Fair in the City Centre on Sat 25 Oct. Bring along copies of my comics to sign if you want. I’ll also be selling, signing and sketching copies of my graphic novels and comics too.

The original JOG ON strips that were the basis of a long-lasting mural I drew in The Centre MK. It ended up lasting for far longer than imagined thanks to the pandemic.

Free link to Stramash issue 1 of the original series for no reason other than I still really like it. 1950’s Sweary Scottish gangsters, strange goings on and just what is in that hold-all. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kxy80...

The Draw.

This is the first strip I successfully sold to VIZ 12 years ago.

I understand that the big announcement at this year’s San Diego Comic Con over the weekend was made by Drawn & Quarterly of my next graphic novel, MURDER SCHOOL, out Autumn 2026.

I’m thinking about colouring my next project after MURDER SCHOOL more properly. The problem is, I don’t really enjoy colouring and the process adds around another 4 hours per page. Here’s a test strip I did. What do you think?

A French edition of THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT is coming.

My latest comic has been on sale for two weeks today. Have you had a look yet? Its here robjacksoncomics.blogspot.com/2025/06/sile... cheers
