The cabbage is a far more beautiful thing to share than the HMRC hold music (the nation shudders) or anything I have actually written today

Isn’t it splendid?

Sorry to hear Rowan is going through this difficult time - if it’s any consolation Einstein bounced back quickly and hasn’t seemed to miss what they took

‘Lest we forget’ doesn’t appear to be working anymore

Oh that’s so cool! Also, how good is your filing that you can lay your hands on things that quickly?! Thank you for offering provenance facts, but we’re not publishing an academic paper, just throwing ideas. We’re early days on a project we might want to pick your brains on in about 6 months…? 👻

Yesssss! Thank you so much! Would also love to see Victorian spooky if it’s easy to lay your hands on…

And last of all we caught up with the brilliant @etheringtonbros.bsky.social - as far as we know the only other writer/artist sibling duo? They were SO encouraging and helpful to us right from the start, there’s nothing like @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social for seeing old friends 🤗

We had a good catch up with CCIC - @karriefransman.bsky.social @myfanwytristram.bsky.social , @streakofpith.bsky.social & @zaraslattery.bsky.social then went to ‘The Revolution Will Be Sequentialised’ panel which was inspiring and encouraging ✊

We met @nedhartley.com in real life for the first time, fangirled about Bananaman and gently sneaking politics into the Beano

Even @britishlibrary.bsky.social were here, encouraging folk to draw and getting fabulous feedback from young readers like this:

We had a laugh with @cartoonkate.bsky.social who was here with her ingenious Jane Austen bio PATCHWORK

We hung out at the Graphic Novel Reading Room @gnrr.bsky.social and were lucky to get a comfy chair, it was so popular - if you want comics recommendations Gabi is the right person to ask
