This is a lovely interview piece not just for its discussion of the importance of the @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social portfolio reviews but also for its celebration of comics community. And loads of creators chip in with their thoughts about portfolio review sessions! #ThoughtBubbleatBF25

Hello comic artists 👋 I’m always looking to collab with new artists on anthology shorts. So if you know of a project looking for short story pitches, and you need a writer - please reach out. In short: I’m crap at keeping an eye out for new anthos 😅 My site / contact: www.dave-cook.com

Just read My Dad Fights Demons and it is a mix of really stupid (complimentary, think Beavis and butthead) and meta clever (I could quote panels at you all day but cba to do the required alt text so take my word from it, intertextual/multimedia cultural commentary abounds. Highly recommend!

I think this is a contender for fanciest train I’ve ever been on, haha Bring on @comicartfestival.bsky.social 💕🥳🚄
