Right, let's cheer things up. Post a happy TV theme that you like! youtu.be/lGiCh7OvL5k

Study after study shows that reading comics at an early age increases children's vocabulary, aids memory and encourages them to read more. But will the government push for schools to include comics in the curriculum? Will they ARSE.

LONDONERS FLEE! There are two crosswords on London in #DoctorWho at #CrypticWho crypticwho.com

This explains EVERYTHING

Cartoonist Lew Stringer, the creator of Combat Colin and Tom Thug, and a much appreciated support to downthetubes, has some more original comic art up for sale on eBay https://downthetubes.net/daft-dimension-doctor-who-strips-offered-on-ebay/

Hey, this is this weekend! I'll be exhibiting at #LICAF2025 (@comicartfestival.bsky.social) and, if the stars align, should have the final collection of my diary strips ready to launch at the show. Stop by and say hello if you're there!

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Alan's scripts were conversations with the artist, and as such, highly readable and pleasurable to work from. Here's a scan of pg. 1 of SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #20, Alan's first-ever issue, when he didn't know who the artist would end up being (it was Dan Day, pencils, John Totleben, inks)...

Oh, this will make you grin.

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards. This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous. It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

But gosh, Keir, it's so easy to lose a card - maybe we could all have a little barcode tattooed on our wrists instead? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I've been picking up Rebellion's collections of Hugo Pratt's British war comics and, while they've all been good, Night of the Devil is the stand-out. 1/2 #comics #HugoPratt

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

I've written a brand new Adrian Chills story (short horror stories inspired by the Guardian columns of Adrian Chiles). This is number 26 and it's called 'Lift'. bsky.app/profile/adri...

Some sweet Bruno Ramella pages from Nick Raider and Magico Vento. 1/2 #comics

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Corrado Mastantuono never ceases to impress me - what an amazingly versatile artist. Here are some wonderfully ragged pages from Nick Raider where his Jordi Bernet influences are shining through. 1/4 #comics

God bless the Beano and all who sail in her

This and the following page are fascinating. I imagine that Kirby had to have suffered from PTSD after this. #JackKirby

It's funny how Theresa Russell would have been a great Black Widow and Jake Gyllenhaal would have been a terrific Nightcrawler.

A little part of me is still hopeful we'll get a Season 3 one day.

The Rapture was real but only for cats.

The Rapture was when we all left TwitterX for Bluesky and you cannot tell me different.

Wow, Heaven sure is cool. But kind of empty. Where are the rest of you guys?

Steve Ditko's Cap! #comics

I really enjoyed Mitchell And Webb are Not Helping. So great to see them together again, and in a sketch show. There were a lot of bangers, although, weirdly, the two running sketches were the weakest parts of the show. Here are the ones that had me howling the most. #MitchellAndWebb

I think of the BBC as a country, and BBC News as one of its crime-ridden cities. You fix the city, not bomb the country.

I'd already read the story "The Devil's Doorway" by Jack Oleck & Alex Toth from House of Mystery #182 in Showcase Presents Vol. 1 but this is a story where the art really benefits from the bold, garish colors. Here are the first two pages in color (from the DC Finest TPB) vs. B&W (from the Showcase)

All the white people have been saved!

Does anyone get the feeling that the News wants everything thing to get worse? Because that would make the news more interesting?

Anna Readman is one of the most interesting and talented cartoonist in comics right now imo her inks for our book, Macabre Valley #1, were so good we decided to offer a limited black-and-white artist edition, numbered 1 of 50 as of now there are just 20 left: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...
