Seeing as no one reads my posts l feel it won't cause undue shock to announce that l've had pneumonia since the beginning of December, been treated at 2 hospitals & am officially "on the mend". By the last week of Feb l should be my old self, ready to meet Beano fans of old London town.

Anyone else binge watching Hoover and his Swiss Cheese analyses? (If you know, you know, if you don, it 's not what you think!)

Very sorry to hear this dreadful news from my pal Moose, he and his wife Karen are such a great team. all the best.

www.bfi.org.uk/lists/laurel... Is this really the best 12? What about these: Liberty, Men O'War, Helpmates, Going Bye-Bye, Me and My Pal.

Spring 2026, my first Comic Con of the year will be at Olympia in London! Come along, it'll be great.

4 months after cousin Pam told us she'd seen a group at the Cavern that lunchtime and we'd never guess what they were called (The Beatles, incidentally) she helped my sister Alison & me clear snow on Boxing Day 1962. It snowed again & again & again... finally thawing in March 1963. It was cold.

@okeating.bsky.social Hard to believe its 45 years but there we are. I gave up on the former Twitter a year ago but l've been hiding here hoping to bump into someone l know. It all seems to be cat pictures at the moment.

Two weeks from now, Birmingham! Come along (keep warm though!)

Cartoon of the Year

MCM at ExCel London in a month from now! Don't be late!

@marklewisohn.bsky.social @thebeatlespix.bsky.social @beatlespod.bsky.social isn't it high (geddit?) time we got this SDE from Apple/Calderstone/UMG?

9pm and for the first time in 2025, the sun lights up the wall outside my flat... in 3 weeks it will creep onto my inside wall at 10pm, before returning to whence it came.

Just one month away!

It's official, come and see me and other comics people at MCM London, Excel, (Custom House on DLR and Elizabeth Line) later this month! It'll be fun, guaranteed!

What could possibly go wrong?

Ye Olden Times, 1989, and my radio comedy show pilot gets an airing!

Just 2 weeks until me AND Nika are in Stoke on Trent!

From 1994, l don't think this went anywhere but it was a nice idea, l think.

Me at the drawing board, December 1979

May Bank Holiday 1960, Formby, Lancs. That's me in the hat!

Less than a month to go already!

My first big event in 2025 will be at ExCel in London for MegaCon! Come along!

Only a week to go before Birmingham! I shall be there with many others including @pauscorpi.bsky.social, @laurahowell.bsky.social and Lee Townsend!

Don't miss out, the newest Beano annual is still available, filled with fun stuff and this groovy cover by me

My ambition age 8 was to draw comics. Luckily, l achieved that ambition when l was 21, and every day since then.

I don't have a cat, but l am going to be in Cardiff in 4 weeks!

Who could argue with this!

Today, Sunday 8th, the old Liverpool buses are back on the road for one day only! Delighted though l am at this retro indulgence, l may forgo a jaunt on this 1969 beauty that l was flung from the open platform onto harsh 8.45am gravel by an overenthusiastic driver by in 1970, cos, y'know, it hurt!

Today, August 26th, is International Dog Day. If you have a dog or dogs, this is their day, whether they're international or parochial. I don't have a dog but l do like dogs; here in Morecambe this Bank Holiday Weekend, there are lots of dogs. Here's a Cardi l had as a chum a while ago.

My confirmed upcoming Comic Con appearances: * 25/6 Aug Morecambe * 28/9 Sept Wakefield * 5 Oct Neston, Wirral * 19/20 Oct Cardiff * 26/7 Oct London ExCel and possibly one or two more! Keep checking, l may be somewhere near you soon!

My first post. What ya got?
