It would be great if shops listed their specific relevance to me instead of having names 😅

The NAP COMIX Kickstarter closes TOMORROW so if you've been thinking about pre-ordering my new book please do it soon!

It includes the 1st year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content.

Please take a look here: tinyurl.com/napcomixks

Thank you! (& please share!)
A list of reward tiers from the NAP COMIX Kickstarter DIGITAL - £7, PHYSICAL - £13, SIGNED & SKETCHED IN - £20 What's in the book? 200 pages of wonder, sleep deprivation, heartbreak, joy, surviving and thriving. A 5-panel comic. Panel 1) The 4am feed with Henry can feel very lonely. Panel 2) I try to think of others that are also awake at that time like...nocturnal animals? Panel 3) Students studying for a test? Panel 4) And of course, people doing the same thing as me. Panel 5) When I think about them, I feel much less alone. A 2-panel comic. Panel 1) Caption: A few months ago. Henry is stroking Rachael's face. Rachael: Aaaaa Rob, he's stroking my face! Rob: (off-screen) Aw! Panel 2) Caption: Now. Henry is pulling Rachael's face in very uncomfortable-looking ways. Rachael looks non-plussed.

Who remembers hunting down this Wolf-Bot pin badge back in ’85? Or patiently waiting for your local toy shop to restock MONSTER MECHAS ‘cos they’d sold out — again!

Talk about #throwbackthursday! A classic comic cover for a top 80s toy that… ahem… never existed. (1/2)

If they made movies about obscure characters in an extended Monty Python universe, I would want Ben Affleck to play Arthur “Two Sheds” Jackson.

Between work and travel and non-fiction writing, it's been tough to find time to be creative. But I had another 50-word piece published this week. Hope you enjoy (it will take you mere seconds to read):

I have endless admiration for people who can write a whole novel. Me? 50-word microfiction is more my speed at the moment. So I was very pleased to be featured on the Fifty Word Stories website this week. Please give it a (quick!) read and a like: fiftywordstories.com/2025/01/29/d...

I've received a quite fascinating email.

This person claims they've singlehandedly blocked 33 sales of my books.

Any chance I can get 34 books sold off this to annoy them?

Message It fills me with great pleasure to tell you that I've twice stopped your books being chosen by my book club (approx 25 sales you'll never get) and more recently my sons school (8 sales you'll now never get). Your descent over the last 15 years into the most lunatic recesses of the loony left, and most notably yours insitance that gay and autistic children should be free to sterilise themselves, fills me with horror and profound relief you'll never have children. People disagreeing with you is not proof you're right.
