I was going to comment at the time that Sausage Fingers had become Carpaccio Fingers, but then thought that was the sort of thing some unspeakable bloody nuisance would say on a Radio 4 panel game
Despite spending much of yesterday in the minor injuries unit after discovering that craft knife injuries and blood thinners don’t mix well, we’re on our way to Winchester Comics Fair (details on poster).
Please come and see us - and lots of other lovely #comics people…

Had a little time at the end of a hectic day so did a better version of the sketch I messed up last week. Ink , white acrylic , toothbrush and fingerprints you could probably unlock my phone with.

Poor Tom did THIS to his finger while making the usually-very-popular #CroydonSpaceport Historical Maps & Guides last week - and then nobody even bought one at Winchester Comics Fair. 😱
