If anyone's sweatily gripping the remote hunting for new festive movies, Jingle Bell Heist on Netflix was solid heartwarming fun which went down well with our whole viewing unit.

Been festively reading Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda. Maybe an odd choice for the season (lot of war crime chat), but great book.

Loads of depth and nuance in character and worldbuilding, and the art is gorgeous. Liking it a lot, even though I'm not always into harder fantasy.

Merry Christmas! Not sure I've posted it for a couple of years, so here's the one festive comic I ever wrote, with art by Robert Ahmad and letters by @dchopkins.bsky.social.

The only thing your pathetic mouth has to say is “Yes, Commander.”

This started as just a warm up sketch and I think I over did it, but, I’ve been wanting to do a piece for @commandersterling.bsky.social for awhile now.

Got to the point of typing this joke out again basically verbatim before I got hit by stabbing deja vu and realised I did it last year. Reliably never growing as a person.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but hit the road for five years, taking the name Tim Reilly, only to return and discover he was the original and Kermit was the clone.

Didn't buy anything for other people on my Christmas Eve stroll round the shops, but did pick up the LOTR extended editions on DVD for a fiver. Maybe now I'll finally watch them.

This was nice to read as I claw my way to the end of a promising-but-not-there-yet first draft.
The entire time I was writing it I was like "oh my god this sucks, I suck, this is terrible" and I was making a list of all the ways it sucked.

That was NECESSARY to the fixing of the goddamn thing.

My best comic of 2025 is YOUR comic.

The one/s you made this year.

Wether you were published by the big 2, indie/self published, showed it to friend or to no one at all, YOU made something.

You CREATED something. This is commendable, worth championing & makes the world a better place.

You win.

Drew this Santa in @juliannebenford.bsky.social's Christmas card, copied from a stock image I found online, but still, quite pleased with it. Look at his little festive face and, more importantly, his not-too-awful-looking hands.

Original included for comparison.

Wrote 10 pages on a comic script earlier, then went to the gym, and now I can barely lift my head. Completely rinsed in both body and mind. Living the dream.
