owl goes for a walk by ed stockham

OWL GOES FOR A WALK by Ed Stockham. One of my all-time fave small press comics. Reviewed it many years ago here: www.brokenfrontier.com/ed-stockham-... Still seems to be available digitally here: edstockham.itch.io/owl-goes-for... it’s magic!

Anyway, I'm doing a ton of stuff at LICAF this year. But more importantly there's a list here of some very talented #BF6toWatch artists who will be tabling and you should buy all their comics. Because I said so.

LICAF will return to Kendal 2nd to 4th October 2026. Featuring the Maestro Bill Sienkiewicz.

Broken Frontier was, of course, born in Belgium 24 years ago so it seems particularly fitting that I'll be part of the 'Belgian Comics Now' strand of programming at LICAF this year. I will be in conversation with Belgian graphic novelist Joris Mertens on Saturday morning. licaf.co.uk/festival/eve...

A year ago today in conversation with the legendary @sxbond.bsky.social in the Old Laundry Theatre at LICAF. That was a lovely event to be a part of!

"They all wanted a piece of me..." My annual posting of these two panels from MAN OF STEEL because this is my inbox during Autumn UK comics festival season. Ha!

If you asked for a @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social interview and haven't had questions yet do not panic. We are behind with sending stuff out and there's still a lot of you to get to. As ever, inevitably we're not going to get to everyone and requests are still coming in. But we'll do as much as poss!

That way we don’t have the embarrassing thing of me asking who you are when I should almost certainly know. Or me doing the whole trying to blag it in the vague hope you’ll allude to something that will give me that bingo moment of recognition.

With the big UK comics events coming up across the Autumn just the friendliest of reminders that even if we’ve spoken in person before introducing yourself with your name really helps. I meet 100s of people every year. Plus I’m older than some realise and I forget names and faces now very easily!

Kids and I love this book and already recommended it to students last week, glad it’s back in print!

It's a rare chance for a bigger group of us to hang out outside of the 'Six to Watch' Discord group. Also buy ALL their comics from the marketplace.

As ever I'm more than happy to chat BF with people at the Lakes Festival next weekend. Just come over and introduce yourselves! There are 9 #BF6toWatch artists at LICAF this year though so on the Sat eve we're having a little social meet-up so if you can give me that hour off I'd be grateful!

If you love thinking about the unique language of comics then Nick is an absolute must-follow. Seriously. Just check out this thread.

Just catching up with the blocklists I'm on. My fave new one I'm on is: 'Racists: People who casually use terms like "White People."' My fave classic one is: 'Crybabies who block people whose opinions they don't like' curated by someone who blocked me because he didn't like my opinions.

Comics folk - if you read just one thread this weekend it needs to be this one. It’s important.

Very anxious about posting this, but I feel strongly compelled to share. I know it’s a lot to take in for a Saturday morning and I appreciate anyone for taking the time to read it.

Such a buzzing evening full of spontaneous human creativity. Sometimes giving up a little bit of time just to make something happen for the greater creative good is a reward in itself.

Managed to spectacularly forget to take any photos at tonight’s @goshcomics.bsky.social & @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Drink and Draw in-person in London. But rest assured it was a great night! It’s a collaborative event that I think has done so much good for comics community over the last 11 years.

I know it’s the UK Autumn comics festival season because the high tempo Dirty Pretty Things album I listen to to get me pumped up before I chair events is back on my iPod. Also yes I still have an iPod.
