“This Might Surprise You: A Breast Cancer Story” is out now.
It’s a graphic memoir: comics can do things that no other medium can. I’ve tried to be as honest as possible while also making you laugh. I’ll break your heart while giving you a hug.
Buy it here:

There are all kinds of people out there waiting to take your money and profit from your insecurity. Try not to fall for it, even when they say it’s about “boosting confidence” or some such nonsense.

Body image is a well-trodden discussion topic, but I think my perspective as a young cancer survivor gives me a slightly different angle on it all.

Yeah it’s classic negging. “I will damage your confidence but I will also sell you a false remedy to boost your damaged confidence”

This whole thread is really good, whether you’ve ever had to deal with cancer or not. Let us celebrate our bodies and the natural aging process!

Bloody hell that’s a lot to go through. And when you’ve had life and body-altering treatment the concept of an “ideal” body is just laughable isn’t it

Why yes, that IS a visual reference to the Pictish mirror and comb symbol.

I’ve had to really work on this. It’s not easy, especially because my cancer diagnosis brought up a whole load of body image issues. I’ve had to build an entirely new relationship with my body and how I see myself.

I read a lot of graphic novels where the art is gorgeous but the storytelling is lacking. The storytelling is more important imo. I will forgive scrappy drawings if the story is wonderful. The other way around? Less likely.

I have ideas for t-shirts that I think people will buy, and also t-shirts that I don’t think anyone will buy but the concepts amuse me.

Super weird to see the Whitgift Centre in Croydon in the new Taylor Swift video.
I live just a few miles from there. Clearly, south London is the centre of international culture.

If cancer could be cured by words alone, it wouldn’t be such an awful disease.
