I’ve only got 10 copies, come grab one!

I was supposed to be debuting @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year and then life happened. Thanks to the kindness of @theahmedraafat.bsky.social Anna Readman @chrisbaldie.bsky.social and @tomhumberstone.com How to Survive an Affair will still be available there this weekend. Have fun everyone!

Remembering the excitement

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Hi comics people. Let’s say you were a little known debut comics person tabling @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social with one comic… how much stock of that comic might you take? I want to be optimistic but I don’t want to be foolish and I need to work out if I need a reprint.

Day one of Aberystwyth Comedy Festival ✨ Yesterday was a right laugh - and we're only just getting started. There may be a storm rolling in, but we’re staying cosy (and cracking up) inside Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Come join us for another brilliant day of comedy!

🌟 Rory Scovel's Should I Live Here Tour 📅 Sat 04 Oct - 4PM 📍 Aberystwyth Arts Centre - Theatre As seen on Netflix, Apple TV, HBO Max, and more. 🎟️ https://f.mtr.cool/wcedumvjcl

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Weird how this keeps happening.

Really enjoyed this, funny and heartfelt and beautiful.

This comic is powerful stuff. So much expressed within a few, floppy pages. It’s what comics are good at, done well.

People have been saying different things about my comic! Why not read it so you too can form an opinion on it?! widdicomics.co.uk

Hey gang, I’m still doing my radio show www.mixcloud.com/RecordsRetri...

Personally, I dunno. We've been reading the News at 10 for like the last 30 years, I don't want to give it up. Got used to it

GOSHFEST! Was v fun on Sat @goshcomics.bsky.social #goshfest (I am pictured w @rebeccakjones1.bsky.social & pic was taken by @deadlyknitshade.bsky.social - thank you for capturing us & making us look good & nice 😊) Haul pic includes work by @edstockham.bsky.social and @henrywiddicombe.bsky.social

If you’re about. Go and get this comic from Henry.

I’m signing at @goshcomics.bsky.social at 4pm (as long as my train leaves Newport at some point soon)

Tomorrow from 11am @goshcomics.bsky.social

This book could save someone’s life - signing in @goshcomics.bsky.social LONDON this Saturday with @henrywiddicombe.bsky.social

This is happening tomorrow! I’m in the 4-5 slot and I’ll be genuinely thrilled with every single person that comes to see me, assuming someone does. So many great comics people on all day. Fraser here is on after me for instance

It’s my first ever signing this Saturday @goshcomics.bsky.social. Please come say hi! So many great people involved. I’m around at 4pm but there are brilliant people all day. Come buy my comic or just come and say hello! I’d love to see you

I got some test prints of the book done a few months ago when trying to decide on sizing. Ended up choosing 180x254mm (7” x 10”). This cover is 250gms but it’ll need be bumped up to 300+ as it feels a little flimsy with such a big book. Live of Kickstarter now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

For the Sunday morning crowd. Like reading the Observer Magazine in bed basically

I was interviewed by @mattbadham.bsky.social about How to Survive an Affair for @johnfreeman.bsky.social Down the Tubes. The comics community has been exceptionally welcoming and receptive to me and my little comic. Read about it here… downthetubes.net/creating-com...

This is really really good. Best comic I’ve read in ages.

You should. It really is quite something.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Have you considered purchasing my comic? Well you’re in luck! You can do that here widdicomics.co.uk

It's SO GOOD. Out today!

So on Tuesday I'll be travelling from Mid-Wales to Staffordshire, and I can whack a box of my comics into the boot of my car. Does a list/spreadsheet of UK comic shops that might stock small press exist, along with how to contact them by any chance? I have already sorted Gosh and Travelling Man.

🚨New Shows Announced!🚨 Happy Friday everyone! We've just put another 5 shows on sale for Aberystwyth Comedy Festival. 👀 The lineup is looking stacked. Check it out.👇 abercomedyfest.co.uk/line-up/

It’s been a very @henrywiddicombe.bsky.social week in our household, as we finally framed our @machcomedyfest.bsky.social ‘22 poster by @drewmillward.bsky.social and also got hold of Henry’s first comic, illustrated by a bunch of legends.

Absolutely huge day for H Widz. My debut comic is now available in @goshcomics.bsky.social This is a massive achievement for me and I think you can see how happy and proud I am to have achieved this milestone Also available from widdicomics.co.uk

This guy I know, @henrywiddicombe.bsky.social has written this brilliant comic and asked a bunch of brilliant artists to do some pages and it's finally arrived! It came with some fun stickers and this dope print and most importantly a toffee bar which I ate immediately and didn't get a photo of.

Got my comp copy of @henrywiddicombe.bsky.social’s comic debut “How To Survive An Affair: A Practical Guide” today! Honoured to be among such an incredible list of artists contributing to the first issue. And check out/follow Henry for where to order/find the comic!

I've had a sneak peek at this and it's so fucking good. It comes from such a visceral place of truth and rawness but it's also really fucking funny and brilliantly written and illustrated. I love it.
