I drew that cover! No regrets. I didn’t get any free cereal though, I do regret that.

Found this from thirteen years ago. A big Bunny Vs Monkey picture search I did for The Phoenix, above are the inks and below the finished printed version. It’d be fun to do more of these but they take so long!

So great, it got a lot of laughs. I got Sarah to film it so I could show you and the animation team what the response was but I’ll wait until the livestream footage comes through too and see which is best.

Yeah definitely, I’d like to show it live a couple more times then it’ll be online.

You’re already on the mailing list!

Jamie Smart @jamiesmart.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah I guess they had to get a lot of people in, I tried to sneak in early but the early birds in the queue still caught me 😅

It also led to a frantic scrabble in front of 850 people to try and work out how to spell diarrhoea. Which sounds like a fever dream now I say it.

We were trying to find an ending to our comic at the event yesterday and one kid suggested having someone say ‘more diarrhoea!’ which just somehow made the whole comic work. Always trust in the ingenuity of children 🙏

We did it! Thanks so much to everyone who came to the Union Chapel gig today (and watched at home!). We premiered our cartoon, got Bunny + Monkey on stage to draw each other, and thanks to audience suggestions we drew a comic about bums + toilet bushes.I also got to hang with Max, who dressed as me!
