I'm rewatching Stath Lets Flats, I still don't know how everyone involved made it this good. My favourite sitcom of the last ten years. A joyous show.

Someone might read this and say "Hey, Where is Guys Like Me? Where is It's Not, where is You Do? Where is Freeway? Where is Little Bombs" But I say, Hey, there are enough amazing Aimee Mann songs to go around because the woman can do no wrong. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

What I wouldn't give to read a crisp new Skymall catalogue, one more time.

Apologies to US/ROW readers waiting for Savage Sword of Susan to go up on Topatoco. The shipment has gone missing in transit. This is not great news. Maybe pre-order The Great British-Bump Off: Kill Or Be Quilt wherever books are sold instead?

New comic: "I don’t give a tom tit" (NEMS pt2 concludes!) badmachinery.com/comic/2025-1...

New comic: "Twenty years ago today" badmachinery.com/comic/2025-1...

Thank you to everyone who made convention roller banner suggestions. I think I've completed the artwork and no one can talk me out of this now.

Did someone call?

Going to watch ITV1+1 tonight and create a wormhole.

We're down to our last FIVE copies of Savage Sword of Susan by @badmachinery.com! If you've been missing John's infectious wit, and fantastic cartooning, you best order a copy before we sell out! okcomics.co.uk/products/sav...

New comic: "Grab that cat" badmachinery.com/comic/2025-1...

Tomorrow I've got to design a new vinyl "roller banner" for convention appearances. I've never managed to make one that wasn't, in retrospect, simply a sign that said "this man is a terrible nuisance". I look forward to your suggestions on how to get it right this time.

New comic: "DRANGG" badmachinery.com/comic/2025-1...

"Homburg hat, toupee, or spiders web tattoo on scalp?" Consider it a canvas, Slot.

I've been doing a big rewatch of Homicide Life On The Street, and I've made it to season 7 from 1998/9, where there is an episode called "Homicide .com" about MURDER ON THE INTERNET. Obviously it now seems ludicrous and anachronistic in a way that no other episode of the show does.

In which Rachael conclusively answers the question "how is babby formed" but also "what does babby do next" Perfect for fans of babby/comics

We've sold almost half of our stock in 2 hours... If you want one, don't wait to order!!

We have the new @badmachinery.com comic in stock now! From the man, the myth, the legend himself… ‘Best release of the year. There’s the best, and then the rest.’ John’s comics always sell out the day we get them, so best order quick for more Susan shenanigans! okcomics.co.uk/products/sav...

New comic: "It’s a bit strange!" badmachinery.com/comic/2025-1...

I just saw PaRappa The Rapper outside the post office. I was nervous but I went up and said hello. He's doing all right - not really rapping these days, he works for a haulage company. But he wanted me to pass on to all his fans that he's doing all right. Strict no selfies policy, alas.

Another day, another chance to use the skills I learned writing tens of thousands of tweets to write jacket copy that fits in the appropriate gap.

New comic: "Distance, distance" badmachinery.com/comic/2025-1...

My problem: Darwyn Cooke told me that because I was drawing digitally, I'd never be able to sell my originals and "buy my wife a new kitchen". He was right, but he was also (seemingly) extremely drunk and I was literally hallucinating. It was about 3am.

I can't believe this was ten years ago. I drew the worst comic I have ever made and had the best time I have ever had drawing. 24 beautiful hours.
