I am always in a weird situation. I make comics, but I don't feel I have any place in the comics world or publishing. My audience is almost completely OUTSIDE comics. People in comedy, film, writing, other disciplines, they're the ones who like my work.

A limestone anchor, found being used as a headrest in a burial at the post-Roman cemetery of Worth Matravers, Dorset #TombTuesday
An extremely rare find, it suggests the individual had connections to the sea, perhaps through fishing or trade.

For this #MosaicMonday, something simple, effective - and, perhaps surprisingly, very unusual. A leafy detail from the mosaic found in Olga Road, Dorchester, now in the Victorian Hall of the excellent @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social.
