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.

Hey everyone!
Looking to fill some gaps in my schedule until the end of the year. Both comics (short stories, possibly single issues) and covers/pin-ups. Some samples below! And more in my portfolio here:

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

“A vote for Labour is the only way to stop Reform”
Or
“Labour can actually do what Reform only claims it can do”
The government needs to pick one strategy, not both. The government seems unaware that voters can actually hear it trying both messages at once.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Hi comics people. Let’s say you were a little known debut comics person tabling @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social with one comic… how much stock of that comic might you take? I want to be optimistic but I don’t want to be foolish and I need to work out if I need a reprint.

Weird how this keeps happening.
Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare
