Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Nice try Silicon Valley but Nathan Fielder already tried this

Auto headlights provide the only illumination on 42nd Street as they try to leave the city during the Great Northeast Blackout, Nov. 9, 1965.

Warning to all UK and worldwide comics folk. Never have anything to do with Frazer Brown. If you don't know why, google Tales From The Quarantine.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I thought it’s been clearly stated in TFTQ comms when Frazer was putting the whole thing together that creators own the rights to their strips unless it’s IP. Strips that he has refused to publish in its entirety or fulfil the promised campaign goals.

A few random thoughts... “We Have Been Feeling the Pressure Like Never Before” – The Worrying Disappearance of Comics Commentary and Journalism Sites from a Broken Frontier/UK Small Press Perspective. www.brokenfrontier.com/comics-journ...

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

It's been a particularly bruising few months, and I am very tired (even with coffee), so I've shaved my hair off. Sorry in advance.

Had to bail to go host my good friend Joe Abercrombie and talk about his rad new book THE DEVILS! In a church of all places! Gonna be a blast. See y’all on the other side!

Of course this means I'll be writing CASEY JONES while my dear pal @danpgwatters.bsky.social is writing SHREDDER. This is going to be fun.

Dream creators on these projects. Go get these!

Received today! Cheers!

Bag an' boarding @Kickstarter rewards. They'll be shipping out to backers from tomorrow!

the good thing about giving myself a 2.5 month lead in time for the Impending Kickstarter means I have lots and lots of time to start pre-making social media posts the bad thing is that i am going to be so insufferable in july, no one will escape Total Recall of the Heart 🖤

Cannot describe how proud I am of our story in SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #8. I've long loved Howard's man of no nation, Cormac Fitzgeoffrey, and thought he had enormous potential. I hope you think so too, and we get to do more. Art by Max Von Fafner.

Physical copies have arrived - and very, very happy with the print. Marco Perugini's art sings! "Dead Men's Laughter #1" will be shipping out to Kickstarter backers soon...

It's real! Digital copies have been sent out. Physical copies for backers going out very soon!

A dark new chapter in the struggle against darkness has been revealed 💀 Get a first look at Diablo: Dawn of Hatred #0, a brutal new comic in the world of Sanctuary written by the legendary Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe) Get it at your local comic shop, May 3rd blizz.ly/4jIMltz

Building works and Totoro.

For those confused, Tales from the Quarantine was a charity anthology that never materialised. Frazer received free work from good friends of mine, did a Kickstarter gaining £37,000 to get it printed with the promise of the profits going to charity and, 5 years later, hasn't fulfilled backer pledges

And it's really important for people to accept that change of heart. When someone says, "I can't support this any more" we can reply, "Good for you! Welcome to the resistance." If you give people a hard time after they've made a good decision, you make enemies. And it's why people don't change.

No matter how much you've supported something in the past, it's okay to say, "No more. I can no longer support this." You don't have to admit to a mistake or anything else. You can start right now, this second. It's the very best time to say, "No more." And then you can join the voices against it.
