In case people thought we managed to pull out all the stops for Sherlock Holmes & The Empire Builders in 2025, here's our cover by none other than Eisner winner Laurence Campbell for Holmes collection coming this spring, collecting both volumes. 2026 looks like it's going to be another great year…

Buy a book.

Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.

Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Last few days to order a Christmas commission if you’re in Ireland. If you’re interested in a portrait of a person or a pet, send me a DM. :)

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

If it's a road for cars then "no problem. let's spend hundreds of millions on tar" but if it's anything to do with cycling or active travel alternatives then "not feasible" & every and any excuse is found not to do it.

Took me 10 minutes to repurpose this old Soviet poster, looks so much better than this AI eyesore. Please stop using a machine that kills artist's jobs, we're working class too. Have some Socialist Realism use as you need.

I took all of your advice.

The new boards are now live in the SLATED Landmark Collection.

Feel free to point out any errors. It was a bit of a rush job.

Reposts would be amazing.

Michael Collins told TII last week that they should prioritise roads where there's no light rail... does he mean, nearly everywhere in the country? That's where there's no light rail.

He's such a populist.

I have just heard an advert for Amazon Black Friday WEEK.

How in God's name are small businesses meant to compete with this crap?

Will you all do me a favour and support a small business today. Share the love.

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

The insertion of new levels has made the whole space less accessible, and more of an obstacle, with visual noise from the excess of railings.

Don’t get me started on the treatment of sculpture.

The overall effect is bleak. This is no longer a park. It is a low-maintenance thoroughfare.

Well, here we are.

Bishop Lucey Park has reopened after a two-year closure and redesign. And it’s very good to have this space available again.

I’m trying very hard to find the positives (there are some), but overall it is a sad failure for the public and for urban green space in Cork.

My buddy James and I will be turning this space into Cork City’s newest comic book shop, HD Comics. As central to Cork City Centre as you can get.

If you’re looking to sell some comics, send me a DM. Opening in the next few weeks.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.
