Hi! In case you still need any Christmas present ideas for the kids in your life (or adults!), my first card game ⚔️HERO SLAM⚔️ came out this year and THEY MIGHT LIKE IT! It looks like this:

James Baxter’s 2D animation in ‘The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball’ new episode.

The Phoenix Comic Christmas double issue is here! So many amazing comics by so many amazing writers and artists! Also me! Drawing comics about Krampus and Gazpacho! MERRY CHRIMBLES!!

Why are kids getting into comics and is their timing spot on?

Is it blasphemous to say I think that The Snowman & The Snowdog is better than the original? I love the first film dearly but it takes AAAAAGES to get moving. If Snowdog had Walking In The Air during the flying it would be perfect. #Christmasblasphemy

This week's issue of The Phoenix is an absolute joy (unless you've got a fear of tentacles!) Neil and the whole Phoenix team did an awesome job and it was great to get Susie & Brad involved in the mayhem!

It's happening!! In June 2026, Squid Bits: That's a Nice Hat will be coming out! This book is a collection of some of the Squid Bits comics I've been working on since 2014 for The Phoenix and it's so exciting to finally see it in book form! There're some vintage SB strips in there too!

Zak, Tom and Will have created an awesome world that feels like it's one of classic cartoon adventures of yore! Bring on next May!! @the-phoenix-comic.bsky.social

Thiago's characters run riot through this week's issue of The Phoenix Comic and its a flippin' delight!

Wrote an episode of Gorebrah this week that references both John Buscema's Conan artwork AND the A la Carte Kitchen ad from the 80s where the little girl makes a Swiss roll and beans for her Dad. I'm a professional writer?!?

🫡 Saturday, 22nd November (so just over a week’s time), I’m doing another online Phoenix workshop! We’ll be drawing Bunny Vs Monkey characters, coming up with new comics, and getting the audience involved too! If you’d like to join in then you can grab tickets here thephoenixcomic.co.uk/events

Two Tintin drawings from 11 years ago(!).

THE VILLINOOS are back! And they’re on the cover of @phoneixcomicuk! Honestly I think this is my favourite cover I’ve ever drawn. Enjoy the intergalactic carnage, every week from now till Christmas! 👾 Also: some other little round weirdos are back apparently? Look there’s a LOT GOING ON. 🍩

💛 Flember: The Golden Heart, the fifth and final book in my series of illustrated novels, is out TODAY! 💥 An epic conclusion to the series, filled with heart-racing action, ridiculous inventions, strange weirdo characters, fart jokes, the sweetest moments and huge explosive set pieces!

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Comic series of the year. No contest 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

If you don’t know GOOF it’s packed full of really FUNNY comics for all ages! It deserves even more press, help fly the flag for great comics for kids!!

THE KICKSTARTER IS LIVE! tinyurl.com/napcomixks I'll post about it properly in the morning but BY GOSH if anyone else is awake right now I'd sure love for you to take a look! R xxx

This week in @the-phoenix-comic.bsky.social, Gorebrah becomes obsessed with food cross sections... WITH DELICIOUS RESULTS.

🚀 Bunny Vs Monkey: Intergalactic Monkey Business is out NOW! Book eleven in the best-selling comic series drags our cute chaotics up into space, as the fate of the whole world depends on them! ✨ I really hope you like it ✨ (Published by @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social)

There's a new issue (Viz 350) in the shops. Sorry no refunds.

Zoom out 🙏 🤩 #wonder

It's been over 24 hours, has anyone mashed up Taylor Swift's 'Actually Romantic' with Pixies 'Where is my mind' Yet?

COW. A. BUNG. A!

Very pleased to announce that the first issue I wrote of the all new Turtles comic is out in the UK on Oct 8th! Available at all good newsagents with art by the stellar @edpirrie.bsky.social and colours by the epic Kat Cardy. Please check it out and share it far and wide! #tmnt #turtles

why doompost when you could Doom (1993) post? i think this cacodemon is rather sharp

It's amazing to think that the makers of Da Bomb hot sauce have made thousands and thousands of dollars from the biggest celebrities in the world, physically expressing how disgusting their product is.

Porkbun-Man Ep 3! (My personal favorite from the trilogy) 🥟 💨

If you wanna watch my comic drawing show next Saturday we’re live streaming it! You can grab a ticket here www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la...

Nobody can make Jenga look as exciting as Red Letter Media can.

Two books I illustrated are out today from the amazing @guppybooks.bsky.social and @busterbooks.bsky.social!

a comic about fishing (1/7)

Absolutely loving rewatching King Of The Hill on Disney+. Haven't started the new season yet but by S3 it really hits it's stride with the writing and characters. Peggy is one of animation's most underrated comedy characters.

#latereview Barbarian is absolutely amazing.

Really enjoyed #Batman #1 by Matt Fraction & Jorge Jimenez. Between this and Batman & Robin Year One I've been a real Bat-Boy this year.

I’m doing a rather big one-off Bunny Vs Monkey event on stage at Union Chapel on 11th October, it sold out a little quickly but I’m thrilled to say we’re also LIVESTREAMING the event! 🤩 Grab a ticket and get drawing comics with us, wherever you are! www.waterstones.com/events/onlin...

If Tom Cruise is looking for some more exciting movie stunts, May I suggest cleaning your toilet while wearing wireless ear buds. An exciting adrenaline rush.

Doug Slugman is back in this weeks Pheonix. Here is my favourite panel.

Watching WWE Raw live is agony. There's so much guff and padding. Like trying to find a Malteaser in a 10 pound bag of sawdust.

I've perfected a chocolate eating technique where, as I bring the chocolate to my mouth, I inhale rapidly, sucking up any tiny chocolate shards that could fall onto my t-shirt, melting instantly and ruining it forever. I'm currently booking 1 on 1 seminars in the method. BYOF (bring your own Flake).

Love the feeling of finding a random note on my phone which inspires a whole episode of my comic. Thank you, past-James and your garbage brain.
