I do stuff in comedy but don't let it define me. I record a semi-regular radio show called the Records Retrieval Service that I have let define me. I'm yet to be picked up by ANY UK radio station.

This is your occasional reminder that the only way to become a comic book creator is to go and make a comic.
Made a comic? Any comic at all? Congratulations, you're now a comic book creator! Welcome to the club!
There are no dues, but we are all thinking about maybe getting some cool jackets.

My New Year’s resolution is to be even more of a hater to “A.I.”
A soul-murdering scam to create a generation of dead-inside drones - if you use it on the reg you’re a clown at best and if you promote it you’re lower than the shit on Satan’s hoof, sorry I don’t make the rules etc.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”
And
I hate to say it
But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas
Quit.
