Dunno who needs to know this, but I watched 'Fight Or Flight', a Sky Original movie with Josh Hartnett, expecting it to be rubbish. And it sort of was, except it was really really fun.

I've added the full comic to my Patreon, along with a little bit of Process Chat and some thoughts on the phrases I used within it - semi-autobiographical, as always, touching on my time as a religious child, seeing a UFO the other night, and owning a dog.

Bandcamp is pretty good for connecting with fans who want to support musicians. But if you want your tracks to reach people who actively dislike musicians, then you need to get your music on Spotify as well.

Yer @grthink.bsky.social is a genius at any time of year, and it's a real treat to see how his work interacts with the writing around it every time we're lucky enough to run one of his comics!

A long shot but if anyone's got James Acaster's ear can they ask him if there's going to be another Temps album? I'd really like one.

Let me ask you a question. Do you like water and breathable air? Or would you prefer to be able to make Captain Pugwash and Buzz Lightyear do stuff to each other for just $14.99 per month?
This is the dilemma of the age, let's debate this endlessly.

The 'ah fuck' moment of realising that my brain is being weighed down by fog and I've got a hollow feeling in my chest that's weighing me down. Probably sad lamp time.

Just realised, having sent in a quote for a printing estimate, that if me and Martha want to actually achieve our aim of having Ghosts In Things The Book Number Two ready for March we've got about a month to come up with 200 Ghosts In Things.

Did a drawing of an actual thing last night instead of... y'know, what I usually do. While I was doing it I was like "what's even the point I am so bored" but then when I was finished I took a step back and went "OK, yeah, that was worth doing." Had I forgotten that that's what it's always like?
