Have made new in-page comics out of artwork from other projects to give out at Thought Bubble. Here's one using Hollow Work: Archeon which is having text developed by the poet/rapper Andrew Mbaruk.

Just finished The Deadly Percheron, absolutely hossed my way through it. Read it about 20yrs ago after one of my best friends lent it to me, but it's so twisty that even though I knew how it ended it managed to convince me that it didn't end the way I remembered.

Have folded and stapled loads of comics. 10 Silksoft Mass, 15 Telephone, 15 Telephone, 10 Rainlight Cope Aesthetic, 10 Oh No Ghosts In Things, 5 This Is Happening Pal. 10 each of Homelight and Mountain Battles to go and then I'm ready for Winchester.

Whilst printing out copious numbers of pages to eventually fold and staple, I've been working a new set of iterations of the Jetwash Trampoline stuff that me and @seanazz.bsky.social have been doing. These are second-gen iterations of Skulls As Eggs, eventually maybe to be called Eggs As Skulls.

Tbubz maps are out and this is where I'll be: Bubbleboy Hall, D13 (D13a)
You'll be able to find me at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social by looking for D13 in Bubbleboy Hall, or by saying something mean about Bill Mantlo's Alpha Flight run (none of my comics have anything to do with Alpha Flight)

Finished 'The Spider Man' by Edogawa Rampo last night. Another ludicrous tale of violence and perversion told by a narrator who's just having a lovely time

But yeah, "Silksoft Mass", "Archean", "The Brackish Plains" and "Eggs As Skulls" (a spinoff from Skulls As Eggs) are all pretty much ready, albeit without any text becasue the bit of my brain that writes anything nice hasn't woken up yet.

A drawing of Angron I did for Bill's 16th birthday, which is today
They really do make these chaps complicated to draw, BTW. Just figuring out what was teeth and what was cheek gave me a headache.

Had the best day yesterday at @goshcomics.bsky.social as part of Gosh!Fest. They've got a few copies of each of Skulls As Eggs and Telephone but they've all gone so now I need to make some more.

I have spent HOURS printing and folding these things.
If making comics wasn't so much fun, and so interesting, I'd pack it in.
Hopefully see some/any if you at @goshcomics.bsky.social tomorrow, I'll be there 5-6 with these and whatever else I can rustle up.

For those looking forward to Small Press Festival at @goshcomics.bsky.social on Saturday or looking forward to new printed comics from me, I should have both Telephone and Skulls As Eggs ready.
I'll be there 5-6pm looking balder than in photo (courtesy of @frasergeesin.bsky.social)

In a rush of preposterous ambition, I've somehow decided to get Skulls As Eggs finished in time for Saturday too. 'Skulls As Eggs' is Me Vs @seanazz.bsky.social , and a continuation of the Jetwash Trampoline detournements)

Have been working on the current Hollow Work project whilst rewatching True Detective and also battling my dog. This will be a full two-page spread eventually, like the others.
