I snort-laughed!

Aww, come on.

And if you DID do the original survey, but DIDN’T get this email, but DO want to do the addendum, message below and I’ll DM you the link

THIS SURVEY IS STILL OPEN!!

The researchers are out of office until tomorrow and the lab monkeys (you know, for testing the data on) have escaped & left the door ajar…

You have until tomorrow to fill it in, if you wanted to contribute to comics advocacy and have a chance of winning Β£50 of comics!

I can quite confidently say the author and the org behind it do not give a shiny toot about small press.

This is open until the end of Dec if you wanted to fill this in and have a chance at a Β£50 stash of comics!

…If you DID fill in the survey in the autumn, but DIDN’T get this email, but DO want to help the research and maybe win comics, DM me and I’ll send you the link so you can joint the party πŸ₯³
Soooo…who received an email yesterday from The Audience Agency/UK Comics Creator Survey?? πŸ‘€

Haha! YOU GOT ME

I mean, a case could be made that we have done with small press?? (But am ready to seize more ✊)

Sorry, I completely missed that you’d replied! I think there’s a difference between bloodlessness and lack of interest in investing in - or even acknowledging - the workforce that is creating these all-important IPs. It’s quite a striking and frankly unpleasant omission.

Yesssss!

You didn’t get the email? I’ll DM ya!

Ah, thanks Craig!

Yeah, I couldn’t stand the idea that people might waiting angrily on deliveries of their depressing comic while I was away stuffing my face with mince pies…
December 29, 2025 at 12:15 PM
Hooray! And I’m really sorry, Erik! Sometimes you just need to share the horror, you know? (A friend got a copy in her xmas stocking and I feel terrible about it 😬)

I promise the next one will be cheerier…!

I don’t know if it was the right career move (financially speaking, definitely not!), but I do know I’ve felt better about myself/my work this year than I have for a long time, & far more able to tackle what’s ahead. I hope you’re able to break free and kick that self-doubt square in the huevos!
December 29, 2025 at 12:07 PM
Worrying about whether this is β€˜the right project to be doing now’ left me completely stymied, and more & more depressed about it. I think I only broke the cycle by doing work I knew I’d get most creative satisfaction out of (a small self-pubbed comic, a big GN series, a fuckload of CCIC scheming)
December 29, 2025 at 12:04 PM
Christ Dave, I feel this in my very bones!! I’m sorry you’ve gone through this. I’ve just come out of a long period of frozen indecision about what I should be doing with my life (am I completely out? That remains to be seen!) leaving a vast wake of abandoned projects behind me...
December 29, 2025 at 12:02 PM
I didn’t realise that! That’s probably something we should gather some stats on…

The limited understanding of a lot of things in the white paper bugged me. It didn’t even seem to understand traditional publishing?! Bit of an issue for a trade body for publishers.

Oh, 1000%. Imagine how rich the cultural landscape if we invested in the people actually making the art
December 19, 2025 at 10:56 AM
Aw, thanks Jordan! It’s lovely to be seen ☺️

…It’s still anonymous of course, but Santa DGAF about GDPR.
December 19, 2025 at 10:51 AM
Anyway, it’s a v short, sweet survey - much quicker than that last one - and there’s another prize draw to win Β£50 to spend in an online comic shop.

If you can complete it by the 23rd you will go on Santa’s nice list, regardless of the virtue of your other deeds this year!

What? No, I didn't mix metaphors. I'm talking about fish eagles, specifically.
December 19, 2025 at 10:46 AM
There's a new micro-survey in town! While analysing the data we identified an area that needed more digging.

…It's the money, guys: we need to know more about comics incomes.

Are we being crushed by cost of living crisis or are we soaring like eagles on a wave of interest in comics and GN?
