Show me a comic and I'll probably buy it. One day I might even read it.

Gmunder toyed with a collection but wanted more sex to be in it (when Hudson at BOYZ had wanted less!). So far there's only some reprinted in Shirtlifter. I will have copies at InQ fest this coming weekend. Failing that I can send you digital files, maybe. 54? episodes I think in all. Thanx

there was an Araujo title last year or two, with Remender for Image, where the digital files hadn't been adjusted for print. Couldn't see a damn thing. Such a rookie mistake. I wrote and told him off!

Thanks @dannija-yes.bsky.social @claireplmartin.bsky.social @drannehanley.bsky.social for the collaboration and support. Hey, fellow artists: @jordancollver.bsky.social @streakofpith.bsky.social @zaraslattery.bsky.social @mereida.bsky.social @daniellocke.bsky.social @karriefransman.bsky.social
Cover art for a short comic: “Think Syphilis” as the title in squiggly text, with text in bottom right corner saying “written by Danielle Jayes” and “art by Vicky Yuh”. “Treppi” the Bacterium Treponema Pallidum character is wriggling all around the figures of an old painting called "A Rake's Progress: 3 – The Orgy” by William Hogarth.Comic Page 1: "Treppi" the syphilis bacterium introduces itself, sat on old newspapers, in front of a backdrop of older paintings that represent or are tied to syphilis/disease. Medical students discuss rising syphilis cases. There is text throughout the page explaining that syphilis can show up in different ways and in various health settings, not just in sexual health settings.Comic Page 2: Female character visits a dermatology clinic and is seen for a rash on her palms. The doctor says it looks like eczema. She also visits the dentist for the lesions on her tongue and inner lips. She is told it could be oral candidiasis. Text throughout the page goes into how syphilis can present on the skin and in the mouth. Comic Page 3: The female character visits the ophthalmologist, who says it looks like non-infectious uveitis. The character visits the neurologist, who finally asks if she’s ever done a syphilis test. The character is bewildered at the thought of having syphilis. Text throughout the page informs of different things, including how syphilis infections can’t resolve without treatment but can be curable, especially with early testing.

The relentless slog for attention continues. IS there any extant life on Bluesky? X seems dead but so does this too - it's a shame. Most of the time I forget it is here. edilya.substack.com/p/romo-2-wee...

it's all a numbers game, innit. A real feast of behind-the-scenes PROCESS to be had this week as I show how a book's cover can be totally redesigned from the (back)ground up. More cheese than to be found on a pizza! edilya.substack.com

Named and shamed: BOSH! This has to be one of the worst (food) rip-offs I've ever experienced. RRP of £4.55 for... this. Pathetic. AVOID! If there's 16grams of protein here it can't be in the cheese.

There’s an absolute bloody lorry load of stuff that appeared in Deadline that has disappeared into the ether, too, and pretty much all of that was brilliant. I’d love for @ilyagraphic.bsky.social’s End of the Century Club to be in a big chunky hardback omnibus in every bookshop in the land.

if it came out I was saying that, it's definitely not what I meant. I'm with you on this - class status is transient (my partner disagrees, even to generations). I was trying to express that more people are middle-class now, not less, IMHO, and therefore money-grubbing by their actions and moral set

ILYAgraphic @ilyagraphic.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
oh I don't know about that. Middle classes all smell aspirational and obsess on having more money / don't want to pay tax. It feels like there's plenty enough of them, and that! More people are more poor, but nor does that alone make them working class instead. It's all self, self, self - so, Right!

The funny little "Bye Bye" I included at the end got cut off the audio here, and the cloth-minded tech spelled it out as "bye" all the way through anyway, so now it seems like just aggressive shilling and no longer works so well - but it's what I have. So here you go! I tried! <sigh> X
