This weekend as part of the 'Cartoonists Club of Great Britain' table I'll be bringing my Big Issue and Private Eye cartoons to the 'Lakes International Comics Art Festival' Comics Market. So that's CCGB at LICAF CM with my PE and BI toons FYI
I'm an exhibitor at the Lakes International Comic Arts Festival LICAF 2-4 October 2026Cartoon – Batman in his Batcave. We can see in the background his Batcomputer and Batmobile etc. A large group of disgruntled bats stand in front of him. Their spokesman says “We'd like a quick word about Cultural Appropriation.”Cartoon - Superman and Krypto the Superdog  fly off into the air. Below them a man on the street walking his dog looks at a bent over lamppost and a puddle.Cartoon – Headline reads ‘Missing Doctor Who episodes found’ A Doctor Who expert asks someone holding a film canister marked ‘Dr Who’ - "Where did you find them?" 
The Archivist says, "Behind the sofa!"
