We had an amazing day - sold out 'Oh No Ghosts In Things' and 'This Is Happening, Pal' (which sounds more impressive than it is - that's 15 comics altogether). More importantly the energy and excitement in the room was amazing, so many people actively interested in comics and zines.

Over the next couple of days I'll be preparing the third issue of Louie Cohen's Jimmy Hotdog for print (doing all the colouring, relettering etc). The aim is to get it ready for @yocomicsfair.bsky.social, since Louie is 10 and therefore making work more appropriate for the intended audience.

The cover of 'Jimmy Hotdog' Issue 1 by Louie Cohen. It has a picture of a cartoon hotdog (a sausage with a face on, and hair; a bun; two arms, two legs) standing on top of a mountain with a text balloon reading 'I shall name it Mount Hotdog'
