Novels are just comics consisting of one picture and an overwritten caption.

People often ask me when the deadline for Thought Bubble is. And I tell them *aggressive hissing*. But if you would actually like to know it is 11am on November 6th for anything perfect bound (with a spine) and 11am on November 7th for anything stapled.

Hello, my name is Joe Latham, I'm a sometimes-broken human person with too many emotions for this stupid shell. How do you do? Are you human person too? Or have you been superceded yet?

Check out this amazing recreation of the Haru 1 cover out of Lego by The Brick Couple (on IG) - they surprised me by bringing this incredible build to my table on Saturday at @comicartfestival.bsky.social - what an honour to see this!
