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

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!

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.
