Hands down one of the great experiences of the GIGS World Tour has been our conversation with @savagecritic.bsky.social for @comixexperience.bsky.social's Graphic Novel Club. I hope no-one wants to string me up for my answer to 'why comics?' www.youtube.com/watch?v=dumy...

I was quite impressed by Burnham's speech. First time I've felt that way about British politics in... 43 years (my life) probably.

At the risk of sounding a bit lame, it's fun to hear Si being interviewed. It was just the two of us inside the process of making it for so long, and it's interesting to hear him talk about it to someone who's not me. It gives me a slightly new angle on the book.

Really liked The Kissing Gate and now, after finally visiting the open Kickstarter tab that's been haunting my browser for days, proper looking forward to Candelstone.

Just a reminder that if you want to read writing about comics, including big pieces about the medium, its history (big oral history tomorrow!), the industry, and more, subscribe to my Eisner Award-winning comic site SKTCHD! It costs less than a comic a month on the annual plan and has a free trial!

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Oh man, that's even worse! I heard an idea for a 'cognitive dividend' where, since LLMs are trained on our words/art/thinking, the companies that ripped us all off to do it should give us an annual payout. Wouldn't be worth the mess they've made, but better than the sweet FA we're currently getting.

I had a nonsense invitation to talk to a book group. The thing that burned me was the time I had to spend satisfying myself that it was, indeed, a scam. An automated scam that cost me 20 minutes of my life.

...like the use of visual language from games, the way Si made the world of Gigs feel so worn in, and one of the most horrible sentences I ever wrote ("scabby prolapse of a memoir"). It's proper gratifying to read people engaging so deeply with our book.

It'll be pretty embarrassing if the dinosaurs went out with more dignity than us. They can't say they knew about the meteor for decades, knew exactly what to do about it, had all the technology and resources to stop it but didn't so five of them could own everything

Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

This page was inspired by (very) old school Grand Theft Auto. Art, of course, by Si Smith. It’s from our book Gigs.

It might not stand up, but to nine-year-old me it was absolutely thrilling seeing bare-chested Superman root-and-toot in portrait mode. I think I'd probably still tear up at that page where he tells Lois he's going for it.
