That’s it Pets Tell Tales.

Ancient Rome is out in Feb.

Our fate is in the hands of the gods of international rights now.

Hopefully, we’ve made good comics. That’s all we can do.

I’m very annoy Taylor Swift has forced to to change an ok joke in Pets 2: Rome.

Luckily it isn’t this joke. Which is my favourite.

My reaction after being informed we can’t send the next book to print due to threat of legal action from a billionaire Princess of Pop who may or may not have gone full trad lately.

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a child?

Say what you want about the arc, but I got a twofer, Scarlet Spider and Kaine,
Great 90s designs.

I think this is the big one. Not sure where it’s originally from but can probably dig that info up if you need it for historical comics accuracy?

This one?

There are a few pieces from the Victorian era we aper that JC might have saved?

Has a great time chatting with Paul Davies and @karriefransman.bsky.social about comics and academia!

Special thanks to @miriamkent.bsky.social for putting it together

Post a picture of you from a different era.

Me, before I hardly had any grey hair. And a bonus @jordancollver.bsky.social before he had hardly any hair.

Book 20.

A mixed bag. Skipped the Bradbury because I didn’t vibe with Something Wicked. Good occult detective story though. And Aickman is a odd treat I can’t quite fathom.

It’s important to remember that Mamdani isn’t going to be able to deliver everything he wants, and that the real good news is plenty of Americans aren’t insane and do want progressive change. Which will come in time.

Still. Nice it feels a little like this…

Chuffed for Mamdani but cannot shake this:

“The public likes you, Dent. That's the *only* reason this might fly. But that means it's on you. They're all coming after you now. Not just the mob: politicians, journalists, cops. Anyone whose wallet's about to get lighter. Are you up to it?”

Smithers, I’m beginning to think that Jeremy Corbyn is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.

Apparently my greatest achievement was doing the rounds on Instagram last night.
I have to thank @realgdt.bsky.social for bringing the obscure novel back into the public’s consciousness.

Shout out to this pigeon.

Along with the Lion, I think the Bee is one of my favourite designs in the next book. I was finishing up reading Lord of the Rings and described the character as a fantasy ranger or some such.

Either way @jordancollver.bsky.social understood the assignment.
