Why Keir Starmer's refusal to explicitly condemn Nigel Farage's immoral plan to tear thousands of families and communities apart will only help clear the Reform leader's path to Downing Street bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

Ask members of any minority group whether they believe in the moral character of the British public.

This is a rarely discussed consequences of populism. It makes you poorer. It's supposed to, because it's a preparation for a life of lowered expectation, sponsored by the uber-rich entities that are draining everything away for themselves. As Huxley said, it conditions us to love our servitude.

This article is 6 months old, but you can clearly see the evidence of Orbanization in the US every day now

“They studied 51 populist presidents and prime ministers who were in power between 1900 and 2020 and found that after 15 years, GDP per capita was 10% lower when compared with a plausible nonpopulist counterfactual.”

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status. “They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. “Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

Nigel Farage has been by far and away the biggest malign force in British politics for the last decade or so. His influence has been disastrous. I can't think of a single politician (even Johnson) who has been allowed to present a media image so entirely at odds with his record of rank incompetence.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Alex Footerings …. Trying out some colours for a section in the new comic

Anna Readman is one of the most interesting and talented cartoonist in comics right now imo her inks for our book, Macabre Valley #1, were so good we decided to offer a limited black-and-white artist edition, numbered 1 of 50 as of now there are just 20 left: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

i mean, bbc and ofcoms complaints pages are right here. you need to have made a complaint via the bbc first to complain about them to ofcom, but for sky news you can go straight to ofcom www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp... ofcomlive.my.salesforce-sites.com/formentry/Si...

Rob and I worry about how fans of this much loved work will feel about this new take, but so far, the response to @comicstitan.bsky.social announcing this has been overwhelmingly positive. So thank you. @robjoneswrites.bsky.social @countpagan.bsky.social, @simongough2099.bsky.social

Reform party will eventually come after citizens, with parents who were born abroad, like myself. My friends and I have had this discussion for some time. Make no joke about it, if they get into power they will need to continue to enrage the British voting public, they need chaos to thrive.

No particular reason

for my newsletter this month, I commissioned the great @gustaffovargas.bsky.social to draw our werewolf priest character ... and I absolutely love the mix of savagery and neon in his piece check out this one as well as past newsletters, and sign-up to get it here: www.comicsbookcase.com/newsletter

Hopefully going again next year if they will have me , don’t often pop my head over the parapet but I really enjoyed this last year and aim to get out more and an excuse to go up the road

Fascists treat debate like you're trying to plead with them for permission to exist, and they can withhold it and say you didn't convince them. It's not about the facts, truth, or human rights to them. It's a performance to indoctrinate people and put a target on their opponents.

This is what I mean when I say the BBC are rabidly pro-Reform. This is very much by design.

Great to see the plan is to keep Sequential going and growing. First show this year was great, well organised and a cracking day! Scotland badly needs this, there are so very few comic focussed events now.

SAVE THE DATE Sequential Scotland 2026 will be happening on Saturday August 8th! As with 2025 we will be going for Creative Scotland funding to make this possible. To stay up to date sign up to the mailing list at the website below. And keep your fingers crossed for us! sequentialscotland.co.uk

This year’s debut Sequential Scotland was an absolute joy, one of the highlights of the comics year thus far. This deserves to become a Scottish comics release institution, so I’m glad plans are in place to bring it back for 2026.

No one could’ve seen this coming

We're celebrating #batmanday with our biggest competition yet here at We See The World In Ben-Day Dots. We've got four copies of Batman '89 to give away, two hardbacks and two paperbacks, one of each up for grabs on Instagram, and one of each up for grabs on Bluesky. (1/2) (K)

Happy Batman Day to all who celebrate! My first Batman story was (no kidding!) a coloring book. My most recent work is an episode of CAPED CRUSADER for the upcoming second season. And I look forward to more adventures with the Dark Knight in the future.

Every time I post about comics, I get follows from sexy not-real ladies. It's almost as if the logic is, "Well, this guy collects comics so he's probably never seen breasts." Hard to argue.

Thought I’d share some of my Bat-treasure since it’s Batman Day!

Batman Day today, yet when I walk down my street, I see hardly any Batman trees in my neighbour's windows. No-one exchanging Bat-cards, no kids out at night trying to foil crime. It's like we've all forgotten the true meaning of Batman.

One of the many reasons it feels like we're doomed as a species is a lot of people don't seem to think continuing to exploit people after they die isn't an absolute red line.

It's Pizza Friday. We've earned this.

You have to love eBay, eh? Looking to see what people want for Spectacular Spider-Man 101 (the Byrne negative space cover) and folk are looking for around £100 plus, raw. A quick look at sold items shows people are actually paying between £15 and £25 generally. It really is the Wild West!

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" "This exhibit is closed!" Etc.

This is hilarious. These people have never run a real business. It is 100% a scam operated by skiled, dedicated grifters. www.wsj.com/articles/sto...

Jellyfish Trombone was a decent idea in search of a good story I had a good hang of it visually but had little else than Surrealist Detective in sunny south of France and I mistook surrealism for drawing snippets of Magritte paintings in the background.

Reform won control of several councils promising to deliver savings by cutting waste. Now the dog has caught the car, this fantasy has collided with reality. Imagine what will happen throughout the UK if they win a GE. And this is from the rabidly pro-Reform BBC. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Disgraceful. Absurd. As with the Kimmel situation, politicians across the world want to suppress protest and creative resistance. They hate opposition. They hate protest. They hate satire. They hate art. Soon we will wake up and find our mouths gagged, our hands tied, our pens and laptops taken away

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

My take on something like a 60's American car ad or 80's Italian sportscar poster, but for Kimitoshi Yamane's PERFECT Swordfish II design from Cowboy Bebop.

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

On Joe Kubert's birthday: I always liked how you can sometimes see Ditko in his style, and sometimes Kubert's in Ditko's, and how if you mix them, you sort of get Moebius.

Well, at least October will be worth getting out of bed for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0lD...
