At Sitges, the sci-fi and horror film festival just outside Barcelona. Really amazed at how it totally transforms the town... There's even a statue of the festival's mascot! It's been going since the late 1960s.

It was great catching up with one of my favourite comic creators @jimmunroe.net, who was debuting his latest book 'Zeroed Out', at Lucky's Comics tonight. Joining was local comics zen master @jasonturner.bsky.social with his latest, Vinegar #46. Always a cause for celebration. Sweet evening.
