Leonard Sultana (An Englishman In San Diego)
@englishmansdcc.bsky.social
Comics and comic con fanatic. I can't write, I can't draw, I can't colour, I can't edit. Therefore, *of course* I have a podcast, are you crazy??
Pinned
Lots of new followers lately: hello there, I guess!

A re-introduction: my name is Leonard Sultana, I'm a middle aged nerd based in Yorkshire, married to Caroline, currently looking after my dad who is not in a good way but we’re muddling on, I guess.

What’s with the San Diego thing? Well…

1/
For my Murican brethren: FOR SHAME!! The UK being banned from celebrating Christmas!! How dare the authorities impose such draconian measures!! 🙄

Okay, I *might* take the subject of Lilo & Stitch a liiiitle bit too seriously.

Just a friendly PSA if you want to commission artists for Christmas presents, which is a great idea btw, you have to get on the ball about it BEFORE Thanksgiving. Like do it today. I'm not doing commissions personally I just want to save you panic or disappointment. Get on that dream artist ASAP 💛

Grant is a machine. His convention commitment to his fans is relentless, I love this guy.
Up early and on the road to #Newmarket for #comiccon.

Been trying to tag @owenlikescomics.bsky.social into TBubs posts, all this week - found on occasion in the TBubs Press Room so had the chance to say hi and introduce myself, even though I'm nowhere in t'same league.

Would've been easier if I wasn't searching for Owen LOVES Comics, of course. Doh!

Okay, might have to log out for the remainder of the evening because three out of five posts are that screen cap of the Angry Orange gurning at Mamdani and it was funny at first but now I just want to celebrate comics. Off to read Batman Meets Deadpool and crash out for the night.

Correct me if I'm wrong but............did this very knowledgable video maker who will get 1000s of views with this video actually tell the story of manga's rise and leave out women and girls?

I know women get left out of history all the time but this is ridiculous and insulting.

Roger genuinely is the only person working in comics who could pull this off.
I cannot properly describe the joy I feel in announcing that my friend ROGER LANGRIDGE (@hotelfred.bsky.social) is writing, drawing and lettering MUPPETS NOIR, starting in February! @dearbhlala.bsky.social's on colors, Declan Shalvey's done a variant cover & I get to edit the whole thing.

Should be 10x that, to be brutally honest.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

Finishing headshots that will be included for the international backers of Pirates: A Graphic History.
I sense a theme here.

Rounding up the news and hopefully cutting through the confusion of this ongoing story.

today's reedin': knew there was something from my @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social haul that I hadn't shared - a recommended purchase by Owen Loves Comics, a cracking collection of @jackmilson.bsky.social essays on the subject of the Marvel Ultimate Universe. That's a lot of book for just a tenner!

The Beatles Anthology 4 is out today, ahead of the resissued and remastered documentary dropping next week. I'm a huge Beatles-head, I can't personally wait... in the meantime, enjoy this f**king amazing Rockstar Cutscene animation collection. The lads have never looked so cool.
