Last week at Broken Frontier… Filth – Underground Kingdom Comix Take a Transgressive Turn in an Anthology Including Mat Greaves, Vincent Bell Robertson and Struan Sloan. www.brokenfrontier.com/filth/

"The world is a global entity now" is maybe not the most insightful statement from football punditry to be heard in this World Cup. You can't really argue with the veracity of it as a claim though.

Buy ALL the comics at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social's 'Six to Watch' table at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social at the weekend. They are all SO talented and deserve your support! #BF6toWatch

This is really haunting and atmospheric. You should def give it a look!

It's been shocking and eye-opening, and it's now affecting my/BF's ability to reach people and do the important work we've done for so long. It's such a sad situation but I can't keep swimming against the tide like this so I'll have a good think then. (But BF as a site will carry on whatever!)

BF is going nowhere but at the end of the year, after I've seen out my commitments (and also after we do something special for TB's 20th obvs), I'm going to re-evaluate my own wider community work. What we've had to deal with in the last 6 months due to our stance on AI has been deeply unpleasant.

Recommended buy at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social!

If I can possibly avoid it I will not be behind the @brokenfrontier.bsky.social table at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social. BF is providing it for the #BF6toWatch artists after all so I don’t want to take time and space from them. But I will be there both days if you want to chat.

Here’s a free beak zine template should anyone want it! Scaled for A4. Prob been downscaled by bsky but you do absolutely not need these at a high resolution since you’re just gonna be light boxing over it or putting it on a layer as reference anyway

Presumably Bridget Phillipson sleeps at night. Not sure how in the circumstances.

Not a good day on the Alzheimer’s journey today. Remembering to live in (and appreciate) the moment has been something to draw strength from but this is an awful thing to watch happening. Lots of love to anyone else looking after someone in the same position.

I once had a pitch accepted at a large publisher but was later told the protagonist should be gender swapped to male because there were already two books there that had female protagonists.

“Yeah in hindsight this was terrible and we’re sorry we put you through it…” Super-hero comics would have been a healthier place for the last few decades if this had set a precedent. www.brokenfrontier.com/golem-strang...

#EventsDearBoy 31. THE JANUS DIRECTIVE (1989, DC) Amanda Waller uncovers a plot against her by rival government agencies and gets her retaliation in first. This is, sadly, the first event I re-read for this countdown and thought “oh no, it’s not as good as I remember!“
