It seems now that @themag.co.uk have caught me up sufficiently (with subscribers) that I no longer need to re-post their articles and can bow out gracefully.
I'm staying on BlueSky, of course, but likely to be posting less often.

75 years ago today, the first "Peanuts" strip was published in a mere seven newspapers. It's been the chief artistic influence of my career, and I wrote yet another piece about the strip and how it relates to today's power relations in my new newsletter. lepplin.substack.com/p/charlie-br...

The Isak saga is a parable for our dick-laden times
Newcastle United want to keep him, Liverpool want to sign him, and the player has gone on strike. Everyone's being a bit of a dick about it, and that's *very* 2025.

Isak to Liverpool isn’t just rumours, it’s a marketing campaign. Agents know exactly who to brief and when.
