Can't help thinking that this photo of Gorton & Denton Reform candidate Matt Goodwin with Steve Bannon - convicted fraudster, close friend & enabler of Jeffrey Epstein, promoter of violence to overturn a US election & admirer of Satan - has not had the coverage it deserves.

I think my brain has some kind of Mad Magazine/National Lampoon function that clicks on during dark, dismal news cycles and allows me to see the humor in them.

Then let her run. I want to be led by a single mum from a council estate in Stockport, not a bunch of nonce-enablers.

Greatest crossover episode since Dredd meets Batman: Judgment on Gotham.

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

So that’s another year almost done and dusted. Just the celebrations, the gifts, the food, the reflections and the regrets yet to come... You can read my full annual Christmas message on my Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/posts/glad-t... Lashings of yuletide love, --Gary.

In stores this Wednesday ENDEAVOUR #2 from @dstlry.bsky.social by writing wizard @stephsmash.bsky.social lettering legend @tenapolitano.bsky.social colourist beyond compare Lee Loughridge and me at the drawing board. Sorry to flood your feeds but I worked my ass off to bring you this book :)

I think we should try this, with every last one of them. See how they get on.

"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975 “It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

*Optometrist hands person glasses* - “now, you wear them glasses AND YOU KEEP THEM GLASSES”

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌 They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law. Other governments should do the same! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's been a weird year for my drawing. It kind of peaked using a computer and I wasn't able to sustain or replicate the results I was getting. With all the Ai shenanigans going on at the minute, my response is to go back to basics and draw freehand with a brush pen. Drawing direct.

My commission list is filling up so if you want one for Christmas get in quick! #petportrait #analogueart #colouredpencilart #dogportrait

Late to this, but really can’t recommend enough this episode of Origin Story w/ @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social on the Rivers of Blood speech. Scary as hell, brilliantly analysed, with lessons for all of us on the mainstreaming of the far-right podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair.

Immigrants are a net good and more people should be saying so. Signed, an immigrant.

What gif pops up when you type in your name?

Support comics on Kickstarter. Not only do you get to feel vaguely good about yourself, but it's like a gift from past you to present you. Such a delight when they unexpectedly arrive

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

@geengeenie and I treated ourselves to a pair of the cheap seats at Basildon Vue to see James Gunn’s interpretation of Superman…which was, predictably, brilliant. Everything from the casting to the music choices is perfect. Mister Terrific is just that and Krypto is the new Baby Groot.

I've updated my covers gallery for @millidge.com short-lived comics fanzine 'Comic news monthly' (published 1984). If you have any further examples I'd be delighted to see them. boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2025/07/upda...

You have to admit, that to go from 12th in the Premier League and total disarray this time two years ago to Club World Cup Champions is quite the turnaround. #chelseafc #cfc #clubworldcup

A lovely article about Strangehaven's 30th anniversary by John Freeman on his Down the Tubes website.

I can’t quite believe where all that time went, but this month thirty years ago, the first issue of Strangehaven reached comic shops across the world. New Patreon post: www.patreon.com/posts/this-l...

This is what 64 looks like. Cheers!

If you don't know Martin Simpson's work, please consider backing his Kickstarter for RASP #1. I've seen a proof and it's glorious!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR, Marvel

Next is RASP by @simoart.bsky.social who has an utterly unique and breathtaking illustrative style. I pick up anything by Martin, no questions asked. 9 days left to back this one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ras...

Comic news monthly was a comics fanzine produced in 1984 by (then comic shop owner) @millidge.com. Rare! Further examples welcomed. I love the 'Miracleman' themed Alan Davis cover for issue 14. boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2025/06/comi...

Bienvenidos a Strangehaven, un lugar ideal para celebrar nuestro XXV aniversario. Nos lo cuentan el insigne @jjvalencia.bsky.social y el maestro @millidge.com www.zonanegativa.com/zn25-el-larg...

Just a small wave at anyone caught up in the Unbound/Boundless mess that you can get advice from the Society of Authors on contracts if you're a member. It's £32 a quarter, cheaper if you're over 65/under 35. Pretty much anyone at any stage of a writing career can join as an associate member.

Treat yourselves to this folks. A singular vision by a rare talent (and he's a good dude!). As good as it gets and an absolute credit to the indie comics scene.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

And a happy birthday to Christopher Lee! (Not just Dracula)
