Very excited that @torgowells.bsky.social and I will be joint tabling at Thought Bubble @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social together! The Uncle Zaxlor creative team in one place! At one table! The mind boggles 🤯

Binning a load of my uni coursework today and damn, we really didn't care about paper usage in the late 00s/early 10s did we 😅 This is for ONE module (of the six or so I took in first year) and she thiccc

I'll be tabling at Tees Zine Fest in Middlesbrough on 28th March, alongside my brother and artist extraordinaire @williamhealy.bsky.social !

ive always liked this oddish card because he’s just vibing with a frog

Let's meet some characters in the world of Uncle Zaxlor shall we? Starting with: UNCLE ZAXLOR! He runs a robot repair shop on the planet Zekrus. Does he love robots? Not really! Is he good at repairing them? Sort of! He prefers relaxing to working so sometimes he.. improvises. With varying results!

The immense popularity of “Calvin and Hobbes,” often called “the last great newspaper comic,” can risk obscuring its many inspirations & antecedents. In both style & content, the strip is very well-versed in the rich history of comics and often pays tribute to its influences. 1/12 #CalvinAndHobbes

I'm struggling to explain to non-fans how 'they found two missing episodes' feels. I think it might genuinely be a whole human emotion only accessible to Dr Who fans, like we're deep sea fish who can smell magnets.

TOMORROW (SATURDAY)! New comic launch! Free in! Newcastle City Library 10.30-1.30! Drop-in drawing games all day! @mducked.bsky.social running monoprinting 11-12! As per usual for Paper Jam, a mildly chaotic celebration of human creativity, an antidote to AI nonsense. Come along, it'll be nice.

🤯🤯

I like the designs of the robots in this Lego set, it's giving Battletech as the young people say (No young person has ever said this - Ed)

Hello and welcome to my unboxing video

I've never been a manga reader, which as a comics person is daft really, so on the recommendation of a couple of friends I picked up vol. 1 of Kaiju No. 8, as a fan of Kaiju films it made sense, and the premise of a guy working in a clean-up crew following Kaiju attacks sounded interesting. (1/2)

Same with comics.

I have a lot of theories about why people don’t read Shelfdust, but ultimately people don’t read Shelfdust. They should read Shelfdust. www.shelfdust.com

I'm chosing to believe there was a DS9 fan on the Batman Forever game dev staff.

(N.B. I've been meaning to be a bit more promotion-y on here as, full disclosure, I'm really struggling to sell/get any publicity going on my self-published comics. So apols in advance for the vibe turning a bit more sales-y, hopefully it'll still be fun?? Right?? Guys??)

Just finished this, a brilliant selection of the wide variety of comics Tom Patterson worked on for IPC in the 70s/80s. Fantastic collection from the Treasury of British Comics, we're so lucky as fans of old school British comics to have this brand preserving all this great stuff.

I did very well for comics this birthday 📚

Chalk another one up in the Left being excited about tech column 🎉

Daddy Cool (Warehouse level, Mega Drive/Genesis version)

Hi folks! Sharing a commission from the last weeks. I’m looking for new projects ASAP since I’m forced to relocate in the next two weeks, so I need to lock in as many gigs for March. All endeavours will go under a contract with a fixed schedule, my portfolio and contact are in comments. Thanks!

I love how Otto Sump's Ugly Clinic from Judge Dredd now seems like tame and sensible in comparison to genuine, stupid reality

Excellent photo on the Bribery Wikipedia page (it's for a STORY, ACTUALLY), Congressman William J. Jefferson's freezer with a wad of cash next to a box of frozen pie crusts. Tbf if I had a load of bribery cash I might keep it in the freezer next to my pie crusts as well en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bribery

Paper Jam's new anthology, GROWING UP ...AND THAT is out now! Contains my first piece for a Paper Jam anthology! Launch party on 14th March in Newcastle City Library 🥳

Well well well if it isn't the blowjob brothers

“When will the left be excited about tech?” Brother, wait until you hear about mRNA vaccines.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Writing comics is brilliant, how else would I ever have found out that these are called gooseneck microphones

I've always thought of him as Doug Moe-ench, so it's good to be corrected

I'm working with Bianca on a new project and she's fantastic, an amazing artist and a great collaborator (with very reasonable rates, might I add). Drop her a line if you need some art!

The NHS closed Tavistock over trans care concerns – there were just eight complaints all from cisgender people. 1. JK Rowling 2. Maya Forstater 3. Helen Joyce 4. Graham Linehan 5. Kathleen Stock 6. Posie Parker 7. Wes Streeting 8. Rosie Duffield www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

I love the fact that this suggests that counteracting incursions from extraterrestrial abductors is a local council issue. That's as far up the chain as it needs to go.

Wizard (Subway level, Game Boy version)

Just backed this on Kickstarter as part of Zine Quest, a dark fantasy RPG with @nic-the-mammoth.bsky.social art? Yes please Check out Ebonheim by Codex Games on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/831...

Just realised there are actually two bad guys here, so I guess we'll never know which one is Little Kev. 🤷‍♂️

Bio-Man (Circus level, PC version)

Angry (Second Bank of Gotham City level, Game Boy version)

250 followers! I've hit the big time, baby

Mad Jake (Arkham Asylum level, SNES version)

For a laugh I've started an alt account posting enemies from the fairly terrible movie tie-in game Batman Forever, because every identikit bad guy in the game has a unique name, bizarrely. Follow along if that sounds like your bag

Really interesting article about a somewhat forgotten Marvel Horror character, check it out

In the post today! The Knight Shift by @rtwyford.bsky.social and Luke Horsman (I went for the excellent variant cover by @soengery.bsky.social) Can't wait to read this one!

This is concerning. Putting aside the fact that Ai has been shown to be ineffective and even counterproductive as a learning tool and will not level the playing field with those who can afford actual tutors, but I worry that governments will promote Ai solutions in lieu of meaningful social programs

Another incredible Cliff Robinson cover.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

A sneak peak inside Uncle Zaxlor catches Transform-itis? Go on then, you rascal. ellaitch.bigcartel.com/product/uncl...

Two knockback emails in 24 hours! That's comics for ya. Could go for the hat-trick if anyone else fancies telling me I'm crap before midnight
