Has a great time chatting with Paul Davies and @karriefransman.bsky.social about comics and academia!

Special thanks to @miriamkent.bsky.social for putting it together

Post a picture of you from a different era.

Me, before I hardly had any grey hair. And a bonus @jordancollver.bsky.social before he had hardly any hair.

Book 20.

A mixed bag. Skipped the Bradbury because I didn’t vibe with Something Wicked. Good occult detective story though. And Aickman is a odd treat I can’t quite fathom.

It’s important to remember that Mamdani isn’t going to be able to deliver everything he wants, and that the real good news is plenty of Americans aren’t insane and do want progressive change. Which will come in time.

Still. Nice it feels a little like this…

Chuffed for Mamdani but cannot shake this:

“The public likes you, Dent. That's the *only* reason this might fly. But that means it's on you. They're all coming after you now. Not just the mob: politicians, journalists, cops. Anyone whose wallet's about to get lighter. Are you up to it?”

Smithers, I’m beginning to think that Jeremy Corbyn is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.

Apparently my greatest achievement was doing the rounds on Instagram last night.
I have to thank @realgdt.bsky.social for bringing the obscure novel back into the public’s consciousness.

Along with the Lion, I think the Bee is one of my favourite designs in the next book. I was finishing up reading Lord of the Rings and described the character as a fantasy ranger or some such.

Either way @jordancollver.bsky.social understood the assignment.

The Pope to the King as the royal family is caught is a despicable sex scandal and abuse of power.

I’ve been sharing art from Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Rome (available in Feb) because the idea you make something just for yourself is insane to me.
I want people to see stuff I’ve worked on. It’s a way of communicating parts of your brain with tools that go beyond words.
It’s nice to be seen.
