A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

I've just written to my MP, Peter Kyle, about this horrible attack on human rights that @teamlabouruk.bsky.social announced so proudly today. What they do to asylum seekers, they can do to anyone.

This is a sad way to start a big celebratory weekend at Thought Bubble. Rachel supported so many graphic novels over the years

All at Cartoon County send our sincere condolences to her family and friends
“In all of this, of course, she was a newspaper’s dream."

Remembering Rachel Cooke (1969-2025). The Observer journalist was the heart and soul of the paper for 25 years. She leaves an extraordinary legacy.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please…

I will be at this selling comics and original art at very reasonable prices. If you're Brighton based (or nearby) then pop along as there will be loads of other cool stuff too.

I'm exhibiting at the very first Cartoon County Fair at the #Brighton Open Market on the 18th of October, alongside some very distinguished company.

Can Missing Link Prototype Version Arcee wear Wildwheel's Hat?

She's waited 39 years for her chance to shine and shine she does. Pure voguing it up with that steely face sculpt. What and 80s style icon!

I have a screen print up among a group exhibition with The Drawing Room in Worthing. Honoured to be among such distinguished company at Colonnade House!

I am neither for ID cards or against ID cards but I do think it would be wise to entice people in with a good deal. Right now the pitch seems to be 'This will make it easier to arrest you,' which makes it feel rather one-sided.

First time I've spotted a generated background for a talking head on the news. Gaze at the uncanny room, jet black globe and nonsense books of Richard Haass. #channel4news #ai #channel4

On this date twenty years ago, I handed in my first paid professional comic work, the cover to Transformers Infiltration #1. Somehow, I failed to notice that a scene with exploding buildings and aircraft being sent to an American publisher might be seen as a tad "insensitive".
