Fancy something from the 'rejected pitches' pile? G'won then.

Here's a mad thing I decided to do a few months ago... learn to drive, in my forties! Already passed my Theory and have had my first few hours of private lessons this week. Any other drivers, or folk who have considered it?

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Silly festive Dredd in this month's Meg by moi. Also, going to try and use this more next year as I'm sacking Facebook off. So, hello!

@demontomatodave.bsky.social I don't know if this will be as bemusing for you as it was for me but... (I was searching for a YouTuber)

Final version:

@sonicpodcast.bsky.social Still have my 35p mini comic! I know neither of you are Ren and Stimpy fans but there was a REEEEALLY great R&S time travel "choose your own adventure comic" where, because it could repeat pages, the story was longer than the actual comic. I was *obsessed *with it

Thought it was about time I made some ‘Wednesday’ art… might colour this at the weekend.

A new low for innocuous injuries that come with age - I hurt my knee whilst simply *standing at the toilet* last night. I wasn't even moving! What's the least athletic way you've caused yourself harm in your midlife or later?

Is Wednesday Addams wearing poppers? Are poppers back?!

Drew this a few years back to celebrate completing the incredible ‘Red Dead Redemption 2‘. There is a colour version but, with my comics background, I always tend to prefer the lineart!

@sonicpodcast.bsky.social I was such a big fan of the Adam and Joe Show that I spent literal months of my adult life animating clips from their radio show. youtu.be/2S6U9kvrYdE?...

I drew this earlier this year but don't think I posted it anywhere. #twitter #riptwitter

Tip for anyone working on an iPad or similar in this 'orrible hot weather: I use one of these twistable neck fans underneath to stop it from completely turning into a red hot slab.

Here’s a strip/series I pitched to The Phoenix a few years back... possibly too dark an ending for a kid’s comic, in hindsight. 😅

I've been thinking - THINKING - recently that my shaver might need replacing and am suddenly getting S-loads of ads for shavers... Social media can read our thoughts for tagerting ads, now, too?!

Lots of buzz about Corbyn's new party but let's not forget the Greens.

For everyone who's ever said I need to get a hobby..

Oh god I got nabbed by journalists whilst putting this down, so I guess look out for me in the news today! 😭

Drew this quickly this morning, now on my way to Brum to pay my respects.

Thank gawd I listened to @demontomatodave.bsky.social and @chrismcfeely.bsky.social riffing about Tots TV in an old STCTP earlier otherwise this Ozzy Osbourne news would have totally wrecked my day.

@sonicpodcast.bsky.social when I was at Primary School Dairylea Triangles were *definitely* something my and my friends had to endure as a "snack" in our lunchboxes. I feel aggrieved now I know they may not have been intended to be eaten that way!

@sonicpodcast.bsky.social Staying at a holiday park near Weymouth and kinda wishing we were in this particular.... shall we say, "zone"?

Man I hope these aren't cumulative

I don't understand how this art can be *so bad* and yet *so good* at the same time.

Uk folk

Lost doggo (who was extremely nervous of me) successfully reunited with owner! Found it walking around the local castle grounds and walked it to the entrance where I waited for it's human to appear.

Email from the bank asking how my pension is doing. LOL.

Colour version:

For just $30 an hour I will watch streaming shows with your parents and tell them whether something is a flashback

All 4 Green Party MPs voted against proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group, for the record. I hope more people remember them come the next election.

Here's a recent cover pitch that went nowhere but was lots of fun! 🤗

No 💗 I know about 50% of comics people will just sign anything put in front of them (you keep several crappy publishers in business by doing that) but 1) you should stop that and 2) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES let an AI summarize your contract. The devil, as they say, is in the details

2000 AD Covers Uncovered Extra: Paul Williams’ Supercalifragilis-Twisted-and-Explosive Pandora Perfect in Prog 2437! @thewilliamsdroid.bsky.social walked us through his Pandora Perfect Pin-Up Process ▶️ 2000ad.com/news/2000-ad...

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

@sonicpodcast.bsky.social the S Club 7 TV show *did* go on for years and years, they just each had a different name: Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club.

You can have a peek at the original pitch and inks for that star scan over on the @2000ad.bsky.social website: 2000ad.com/news/2000-ad...

Already had some lovely comments about my Star Scan in this week's @2000ad.bsky.social so thanks for that! Been a fan of @hotelfred.bsky.social ever since I saw his Red Dwarf comic in the Smegazine as a kid so a joy to draw one (or two!) of his characters.

Well that was flipping INCREDIBLE. 12th time seeing NIN live and this was by far the most experimental, weird and unpredictable show I've ever seen them put on. There was even a rave in the middle FFS...! #nineinchnails

I mastered anatomy at a young age.

I've got a new book out! Cult Britannia is a 400-page beast covering hundreds of weird and wonderful world of British horror and science fiction movies from the quaint post-war 1950s through to the end of the post-modern digital 1990s. Available in paperback and on Kindle here: amzn.eu/d/ghGmoNA

Did anyone go see the new Attenborough documentary in cinemas t'other day? I’ve been absolutely haunted by this bit of footage, which at the same time is masterful film-making. youtu.be/IzG9AwlypaY?...
