It's happening!! In June 2026, Squid Bits: That's a Nice Hat will be coming out! This book is a collection of some of the Squid Bits comics I've been working on since 2014 for The Phoenix and it's so exciting to finally see it in book form! There're some vintage SB strips in there too!

Got this as a birthday gift today, along with another horror book called The Troop (looks fantastic) and an Edgar Allan Poe collection. So I should be ok for horror for a while! #booksky

Amazing afternoon of Robo Bingo with @foxdogstudios.bsky.social in Bradford. My 8 year old was Minty Raven and was crying with laughter through most of the show! I highly recommend.

My October reads. Enjoyed each one but I'd say Lucky Day was my favourite.

Bollocks to GTA VI then
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Wes Streeting says "little or no support" for striking docs. Let's prove this cunt wrong. Repost if you wanna show solidarity with essential workers fighting for their rights after years of underfunding and real terms pay cuts. Who's with me?

Kids have taken a real interest in Warhammer after trying it out on a school open evening. Took them into the shop at the weekend and they had their first try at painting a model. Part done but looking great so far.

Was just playing Heads Up with my wife and in the Wrestling category she gave the clue 'a thousand thousand American pounds fella'. Is that obvious for any #wrestlesky friends?

On my flight home today I noticed the wing seemed to have duct tape on it? Purposely didn't mention to the family that the plane was glued together 😂

Sharing to help this great writer. I loved Jack Sparks, honestly one of the greatest horror novels of recent years for me.
A thermoplastic mask moulded to my head & shoulders, then clamped to a rack for a CT scan.

Next: 6 wks of radiotherapy to wipe out any trace of cancer, while parenting my twin boys

Treatment + somewhere to live by the hospital = survival. Without both, the plan fails.

Great visit to Keighley today, saw the fantastic Colorsphere at the Beacon as part of @bradford2025.co.uk
Also cakes from Three Little Birds bakery and discovered @misslollipop.bsky.social which is a wonderful independent bookshop where I picked up these gems.
