Hey everyone, unfortunately I am not at MCM London!

If you do see me there, DO NOT APPROACH. Dial 827 and report a Code Purple. If you feel like you’re burning, it’s too late.

I have an incredibly stupid idea for some comics, which usually means that I’m definitely going to do it.

They might be real and actually made by a person.

But they still looked terrible.

All I’m gonna say about GlobalComix and AI is that their Instagram adverts always seemed kinda shitty in an AI-generated way.

I’ve been working on the achievements in Return to Monkey Island for the past day or two and I’m onto my last one.

The speedrun.

I HATE speedruns 😭

Dear all people who use Threads,

Please tell me that you use Threads, I just joined because why not

Warner Bros is up for sale again if anyone wants to pitch in a few quid? We can buy Batman.

I just saw Sting’s look from the recent AEW show and my word, he’s goth Santa Claus.

In a rare twist, October was actually a pretty cheap month for me.

Sooooo…maybe it’s comic time? 👀

I love the mute button. Blocking is too obvious, muting makes it seem like you’re ignoring them. Much better.

I have an incessant need to collect things.

DC really needs to work on releasing some LMNOPQR titles.

How in the hell is my luck so bad that the SumUp chat just told me their systems are messed up just as I go to set up?

I could not have worse timing.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 5d

I’m gonna *hope* they’re just down today and will work again tomorrow, but if not…I may have problems at Thought Bubble. Interesting 🫡😂

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 5d

So SumUp is a massive pain in the arse to set up, isn’t it? Love that it just…doesn’t work 😂

Fun fact, I expected Bloom to at least be at the art stage by now but NOPE, script isn’t even finished 🤷‍♂️😂

Get Letters from the Void instead! That one actually exists!

Luke W. Henderson @lukewhenderson.bsky.social · 6d

Say cheers to @joesfarrar.bsky.social ! His comics work is so creative, & he's a master of short horror (the Eisners said so 😂 ), so of course Joe has a home in Letters from the Void!

Back the campaign today & get your hands on his story "Another Time Around"

BUMP ISSUE TWO

Cover B by @juniba.bsky.social. He’s drawn Batman, Robin, TMNT, tons of other iconic characters, but I like to think “person becoming tree” is his best work.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 6d

I’ve only played it for half an hour so far but Keeper might be the weirdest game ever.

Playing as a sentient lighthouse against some unknowable dark force. Yeah, sure. Why not.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 7d

I don’t think I could be a misogynist though. Cold beans is one thing but the sexism might be a step too far.

Joe S. Farrar @joesfarrar.bsky.social · 7d

Might give up on civilised life and become Rorschach instead. I already like cold beans so I’m halfway there.

You should never be jealous of fellow comic creators when they achieve something.

…not publicly.

Plot their downfall in secret. Prepare their ruin from the shadows. They shall fall. They shall.

Grant Morrison: Generative AI is fine

Also Grant Morrison, in the same post, without any self-awareness: I’m not a fan of people using characters I created without my permission

James Lawrence @kingfridayjoe.bsky.social · 8d

Lol, fuck off Grant

I’ve been awake all night. I need milk but the shop doesn’t open for another two hours. My nose is slightly itchy. I haven’t tried turning my computer on in days.

It’s Thursday.
