Yes, at last the Chips Shops of the North zine is available. I'll be selling these chip shop beauties, and a ton of my comic books work, at the Lakes International Comics Festival in Kendal this weekend. See you there.

Oh it's great. I've really enjoyed AppleTV's quality over quantity, there's a few things I've not enjoyed, but every one of those there's a Widows Bay or Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.

Earlier I was thinking about how nobody has recommended me something on Netflix in ages. Lately it's mostly been shows on AppleTV or iPlayer, and occasionally Disney+ or HBO.

It's called National Grid because it used to be nationalised - like the fact that British Gas is called that because it used to be the UK's state-owned energy supplier, but now it's a private company. Same with BT and British Airways.

The UK has, simultaneously, an over reliance on gas, and barely any gas storage, so we desperately buy gas at whatever price is offered. It's painfully obvious that the solution is to switch as much to electric and make our own electricity.

Hahaha, my energy bills are already 3x what they were in 2022. Exited for the further 16% increase next year. Can't wait for Reform and the Tories to say we need to drill more oil to fix this (it will NOT fix this).

If you're in the area it's nice. Grapefruit frequently win prizes for being good at coffee, the 2B sisters are regulars too. Oh, and there's a permanent Cosgrove Hall exhibition over the road in the library.

Hi Jamie, thanks for the interest, we operate a policy of not bombarding our subscribers with too much twig at once. Like the saying goes, 'Twig today, but when's too much?'

It was a nice little walk to Grapefruit in Sale. They are nice people with nice coffees.

Nice to see @yukfunwow.bsky.social cups at my favourite coffee shop.
It’s a coffee cup in the sun, by the canal at Grapefruit in Sale.

Yeah so I was just on The One Show! Got to visit a brilliant school in Barrow and talk about the amazing LICAF-led Comic Town initiative there, and how great comics are for getting kids reading (and writing and drawing!). It’s on iPlayer here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I've framed the art and meticulously planned, in 1:1 scale, a gallery wall for our staircase, now all I need to do is wait 2 years to get the confidence to call a painter/decorator.

They should reveal that care workers have a 10% chance of wiping out humanity, and raise the investment that way.

There's a lot to consider in this thread, but the points made here are important. Comics can be frustratingly informal/casual at the best of times, partly because it's an industry made up of freelancers, and the lack of safeguarding structure is noticeably absent.

Set up a new phone for my sister this weekend, her first new one in 10 years, and I was so surprised when she asked where the headphones go, but no, it's actually still a very valid question.

It's been happening forever, and will happen forever, that rich people fuck off to lower-tax areas and frame it as political defiance of some law they personally don't like. 'Seatbelts in cars make it impossible for me to deliver wealth.' 'Without smoking in pubs, how am I meant to...'

It was pathetic. It went to such efforts to walk back the interesting stuff that, yes, I also felt done with it all.

Incredibly proud of Mads for sharing her story, the comics community can still be a very dangerous place for young people. Please take the time to read and share ❤️
