The Ditto you play as in Pokopia runs like the kids from Weapons and it makes me laugh every time.

I've made a new book with the very funny and clever Matthew Dooley, the fourth in our Split series where we both do 50% of it and slap it together. It will be available at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in the Bubbleboy Hall on table F12, or you can pre-order it here: splitcomic.bigcartel.com

I've got just one copy of my comic Five Months on Earth left in stock at the moment. I'll probably do a reprint for Thought Bubble, but if you want to grab a copy now then it's available right here: www.joestonecomics.co.uk/shop/fivemon...

There are some excellent creators involved in this, and comics anthologies are essential to the small press scene and a great way to discover new favourites. Back it if you are able.

If you missed out on getting a copy of me and Matthew Dooley's new comic SPORT at Thought Bubble then fear not, it's now available to buy online. The third book in this format we've done, it's been described as "another hit" and "witty". Buy it now from splitcomic.bigcartel.com

Does anyone think there is a market for a bi-annual, 50ish page comic anthology featuring a mix of new and established talent? Sort of like what Dirty Rotten Comix was doing five or six years ago. Because I have some ideas.

I've got a new autobiographical comic coming out at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year. It's a very personal one and a stylistically very different to every other comic I've ever made. Who should I be sending review copies out to?

Some nice words about the Cartography I made for @colossivepress.bsky.social over on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social. You should buy a copy! They are only £2! www.brokenfrontier.com/colossive-ca...

Love a good graphic memoir! Saw this recommended on @joestone.bsky.social's Insta the other day so and I just had to get my copy immediately. If you enjoyed memoirs like 'Fun House', 'Calling Dr. Laura' or 'Blankets', I'd say you can safely blind buy this one.

The new WIP Comics anthology is almost ready. Still a bit of tidying up to do and some last design tweaks, but we're close. Here's a snippet from my autobiographical contribution.

Planning to enter the First Graphic Novel Prize, and I'm at the point now I completely hate my comic, my hand hurts from drawing and am wondering why I wasted my time making it at all… so I guess it's ready to submit.

I’m currently lying in bed awake at 2.20am being kept awake by the noises of my blinds tapping against the window frame (but it’s too hot to close the windows) and all I can think is how you should buy the Colossive Cartography I made for @colossivepress.bsky.social recently.
