Leo Tolstoy once wrote: “Birthdays are of no importance to a rational being. It’s a day like any other on which one has to do one’s work.” Which is good, cos I got him fuck all for his birthday today.

"I am an exceptional delivery rider, Mrs. McClane. And since I'm moving up to kidnapping, you should be more generous with your gratuity." #DieHard #HansGruber #UberEats

You can buy your own bloody frames though.

And inevitably... Signed ‘At the Mountains of Madness' cartoon print etsy.me/41iUUo9 Hey screw you, I got bills to pay and an overdraft.

Happy birthday H.P. Lovecraft 🎂 🦑 #HPLovecraft

My 80 year old mother refused to buy a Gout Carter print from me (even with a generous 1% off 'mate rate') invoking the anger of the Gout God & yesterday she was diagnosed with gout. Contacting me at shorturl.at/IiKTe to buy a print is the only way to placate the Gout God

Blimey, here's a blast from the past 😲 How cool would that have been, drawing a Goons comic... "He's fallen in the water!"

To celebrate the birthday today of the great Mike Hodges (& certainly not to line our own pockets) @barneyfarmer.bsky.social & I are offering signed prints of our 'Gout Carter' strip. It would look lovely framed. IN A THIN FRAME! For more details message me at: shorturl.at/HU93T

Perfect that it's #NationalFriedChickenDay because I'm currently sketching up the return of a "beloved" long-missed character (well, I missed him. The nasty scrote). @barneyfarmer.bsky.social @vizcomic.bsky.social

It's #WorldSandDuneDay Try to contain your excitement. @barneyfarmer.bsky.social

I’m now ten years older than Willie Rushton was when this photo was taken. This whole “linear time” malarkey is a bit fucking relentless

Veteran etsy seller and top cartoonist @taylertoons.bsky.social advised me I need to promote my etsy shop more, and politely engage with my potential customers. Ok, worth a shot I suppose.. Hey dickheads, signed prints available here: HealeyCartoons.etsy.com

When Ludwig Wittgenstein said "If a lion could talk, we could not understand him" he obviously hadn't seen The Lion King. Happy birthday Ludwig 🎂 @barneyfarmer.bsky.social

Wow, this was genuinely flattering. They even mentioned stuff I'd forgotten myself (little girl with 'Aphex Twin' bakers face). 22 years will do that to you. Cheers Eamonn and Brian 🍻 @barneyfarmer.bsky.social

Many happy returns @georgetakei.bsky.social 🎂 'Spacemen of Harlech’

A work in progress. It's not always just pissed up bakers (that's tomorrow). I just posted this on Facebook then realised I have no friends of Facebook 🤦‍♂️ Mind you, I feel like I'm pissing into the wind on 'X' too so no difference then 🤷‍♂️

It's OK! Zuckerberg has decreed I am safe to be around and in no way a danger to your children 🥳🍻 Unless they don't buy a 'Sulu' print 😡

So I (begrudgingly) rejoined Facebook again, simply as another avenue to sell my prints, and jokingly posted "I'm back, for now, until Facebook kick me off again for no reason whatsoever", and lo and behold, a couple of hours later... I'd fucking laugh if I could be arsed.

The new Viz is out today, why not celebrate with a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale... IN A THIN GLASS! @barneyfarmer.bsky.social

Just got my early subscribers copy of the new Viz today and I'm not one to big myself up (quite the opposite) but I'm extremely chuffed with mine & @barneyfarmer.bsky.social 'Gout Carter' in the new issue. Cleverly placed alongside 'Cockney Wanker' (though that might be a sly dig at me 😄).

So I'm finally doing prints. Yay, go me 🥳 Printed on the finest 'Poundshop basics economy universal copy paper', they're going to be things of beauty (until I put my scrawl on em that is). Coming soon...

Being self-employed is hard graft at the best of times, and @gailmyerscough.bsky.social is (like many of us) feeling the pinch at the minute. If you like her amazingly brilliant designs please spread the word on here with a RePost, thank you xx 👍👍
