One of my fave short stories I've ever created, this one in tandem with the illustrious and masterful @dustinweaver.bsky.social. It's... The Adventures of Thing Thing: The Blue Cheese Affair.

Sound. On.

Bit unfair on the other skiers who remain on two

It's real!! I'm so proud to finally have a book collecting some of my 11 years worth of work on the Phoenix Comic! Out in June and available to preorder now!

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

What's that? Eight pages of comicky goodness drawn by the mighty Roger Langridge? Don't mind if I do!

A big box of these arrived this weekend! The latest Toby and the Pixies book 'How to be Cool' is out this week, available in all the coolest bookshops, or order it online here: thephoenixcomic.shop/products/tob...

I’ve only just learned of the existence of Australian political cartoonist Jon Kudelka, & the thing that’s brought him to my attention is the news of his death. So it goes. But I have quickly formed the opinion that he was many flavours of Good & that the world is a poorer place now for his absence.

Just spotted that Top Secret has turned up on Netflix. Had not remembered that Warren Clarke is in it. Dalziel is a nazi! Who knew?

All these tories joining Reform FC and no mention of the transfer fees.

I had the privilege of reading this early and it is VERY good. Buy and buy again and then buy some more.

@martincleary.bsky.social This would seem to be in your wheelhouse?

Just because they’re out to get you, doesn’t mean you’re not paranoid…

Ah. Good morning to everyone but especially to my favourite Badly Drawn Wolf

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

For #NationalYearofReading I'm adding posts on books I'm enjoying.First 'The Coming of the Iron Man' a picture-book edition of the Ted Hughes classic, gorgeously illustrated by @mini3grey.bsky.social with beguiling characters and textures of the natural world adding new dimensions to a beloved tale.

Most folks settled for the old arrow-through-the-head gag. The marshal was not "most folks".

A while ago I tweeted my idea for a Doctor Who series that might/could be done on a smaller budget than the budget it has enjoyed recently. Here it is for Bluesky... The Doc helps some deep space colonist who are in deep Do Do. The ship's getting pulled into a wormhole for exciting reasons...

I may well have too much time on my hands, but has it ever occurred to you that when you say the word 'poop', your mouth makes the same shapes as your bumhole does when pooping; and now I think of it, I believe the same can be said for 'explosive diarrhea'.

This is grimly hilarious! "Carbon neutral? We prefer carbon fabulous." oilwell.app/about

Quite right too…

My friends in Austria sent this and I can't stop watching...wait for the end. 🤗💜

We had a good run

I’ve read this. It’s very good indeed. Buy all the copies.

I passed Nick Cave on the street in Brighton. Saw it was him while only glancing at him and walked on by, all the while congratulating myself for not staring. Really thought I’d played it cool. Then suddenly doubted it was really him and looked back to check and found him STARING INTO MY VERY SOUL.

This was great fun to do, and worth listening to just for Charlie Higson’s excellent Eeyore voice.

One of the most delightful holiday traditions 🎄
