I cannot overstate how completely insane this story is

Women’s machine gun squad police reserves, New York City. 1926

Coppers doing what they do best - assaulting women and trying to hide evidence

The Green Party want to end Rip Off Britain. This Thursday, vote for the party that wants to put wealth and power back into all our communities. Meltdown headlines from billionaire press this morning alone show what we're up against. Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Myself and @leahmoore.bsky.social were recently interviewed by a Brazilian journalist as part of a feature on the longevity of Sherlock Holmes www.moorereppion.com/sherlock-hol...

I have a ton of X-Men pencils I've downloaded over the years to try inking on. @leahmoore.bsky.social told me to get over myself & actually DO some of that so I started an Ed Benes X-Men drawing he posted today and I think it's hard to screw up his pencils, but I'm pretty proud of this. #CatieDraws

I am figuring out drawing digitally on my ipad, and @cemurphy.bsky.social was showing me drawings she'd done from an amazing Lauren Ashley ref on @adorkastock.com and then i tried drawing her too, things got out out of hand and this happened! Im so happy! 😁❤️ 👑✨️👑✨️👑

Heavy Metal #4 is out now. Featuring part four (of four) of mine, @leahmoore.bsky.social and @annamorozova.bsky.social's Taarna the Taarakian mini series.

My Tell Me Your Story chat with @gavcross.bsky.social is online now. You can find it in podcast form wherever you get your podcasts, but you can also watch a video of it (and see me use my old "close my eyes to remember things" trick far too many times) here: youtu.be/O3RFwHZenCU?...

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested. While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

Release all the Epstein files.

Good morning, sinners! It’s the last day to nab the ebook of WITHERED HILL for 99p/$1.99 on Kobo or Kindle! Cheaper than something from the pound shop! www.amazon.co.uk/Withered-Hil... www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

I opened my comic on trump last year on exactly this question... (online here spinweaveandcut.com/draw-the-line/)

Do you get it now?

Following a decade of bringing as wide a range of British comics history and characters back into print, we are now reprinting @johnreppion.bsky.social and @leahmoore.bsky.social's 00s celebration of that rich history with Shane Oakley, George Freeman and one Alan Moore! 2000ad.com/news/albion-...

Reading some comics for kids this morning

Myself and @leahmoore.bsky.social will be guests at @lawlesscomiccon.bsky.social this May

The tiny nonprofit I’m on the board of (all volunteer) organizes and runs a free summer music program for rural kids. If you’re looking for a hyper local nonprofit to donate to: plumas-performing-arts.square.site

Drawing for fun alone.

You sons of bitches did it. Now I’m at 253 which mean I’ve got to start looking for another 47 people to bring that up to 300 fo a nice round number. (No point leaving I refuse to acknowledge when “number goes down”)

This is as exciting as a book launch. Highly recommend finding kickass reviewers to champion 100 great books across a diverse array of authors, genres, and small presses. 10/10.

December. The festive cosy wintry month where we all wrap up warm and snug and say... PAY YOUR FUCKING FREELANCERS.

If you're thinking about gifts, it's not too late to order some signed books from @leahmoore.bsky.social and I moorereppion.bigcartel.com

Looking back at my journalism this year, I think my favourite piece was the interview with Andrea Ashworth, author of ONCE IN A HOUSE ON FIRE, which ran on @millmedia.bsky.social manchestermill.co.uk/andrea-ashwo...

My least-read book is a magical Christmas rom-com set in a mobile library in a gritty northern town. Two of the ensemble cast are dogs which fall in love. No, I’ve no idea why it wasn’t marketed and nobody bought it, either. www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Chris...

I have done a treat post for those kind enough to be paying subscribers. How the BBC censored the line that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history”. Substack: emptycity.substack.com/p/how-the-bb... Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/144717...

Heading to Singapore for this weekend's Singapore Comic Con. I'll be at booth L1-GB09 next to @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social taking commissions with plenty of original art available including these paintings of Charlie Hunnam and Emilia Clarke done as test pieces for the upcoming Criminal TV show...

It's the time of year when people are putting out lists of best books of the year. So why not tell an author you've loved their book this year? Because not being on those lists makes many authors sad. You can make them happy!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Mithras - A festive piece from me for @dailygrail.com about the mysterious cult of Mithras and its (supposed) Christmas connections. www.dailygrail.com/2024/12/its-...

If you've ever played @frogwares-games.bsky.social Sherlock Holmes - Crimes & Punishments, there's a mystery set in a Mithraeum which @leahmoore.bsky.social and I wrote in there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherloc...

Zarjaz! The future is here, Earthlets!

Settling in after Thought Bubble, which remains a tonic, and pure comics. I was chatting to newbubber Chloe Maveal about it and she summed it up simply: "I haven't seen a Funko in three days." For a con to be as big as it is, and still be as comics as it is makes it a treasure

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success
