Well.

He pities the (April) fool. One from a long old time ago.

Up to about 80 frames of animation now... I filmed the oscilloscope on one of my korg synths for some of the facial expressions.

Doing my annual rewatch of X-FILES. Used some footage I shot whilst hiking on the moors last week. Layered a few warbly keys of that iconic music for the sound. I'm more a monster-of-the-week man myself, but maybe you like the little grey men more?

Wherein I talk about Alex Automatic and other comics stuff and try to remember issue numbers and comics bought in the dawn of time. There is a reason Fraser does all the sexy customer facing stuff! ( honestly it was fun, I am not as scary as I seem if anyone else wants to interview me) Thanks Ian

Was dropping some work off in the Soho yesterday so swung past Gosh and got the last copy on the shelf of @wocco.bsky.social foray into Hellboys world. Somehow I had forgotten it was out. It looks Ace!

Enjoyed The Crown - set in Hell just before Hellboy's born it's full of treachery & castle intrigue between HB's fam & we get more time w his mom who's a hoot. @wocco.bsky.social gets to do what he does best, crumbling castles & Gormenghast-like dread nobles in decay, v Games of thrones in Hell
