iPhone, but the qr is the best. I actually make my lock screen an image with the qr code on it so I don’t even have to open it just hold up the phone

It's great because you also control what you give them. That QR code can link them to your email address, your WhatsApp, your Instagram social media, even PDFs of your work. It's whatever you decide to put on that HTML page

I still need to find 7-8 regular/monthly lettering gigs to enable me to continue paying my mortgage! My experience includes: • 23 years as a full-time letterer for Marvel, DC, Image, etc • 30 years handling print/pre-press/production tasks • 20 years hitting non-stop weekly deadlines for 2000AD

I have a digital page that's linked onto my website and a QR code that goes directly to that one HTML page. That way when they either click on my QR code, they get all my information, or I can tap their phone with it and send it across that way.

You have your qr code digital card right?

Have done so as well. Unfortunately, there's no way to see how close he is to the target, which would help people on the fence about paying. But the doggo looks like a good doggo and should be allowed to stay being a good doggo.

In fairness, if these are the Coachella pictures, he wasn't 73. These were taken several years ago when he was *checks notes* 68. Shit.

Aly Fell is an utter genius. And when you also realise he's one of the guys who worked at Cosgrove Hall creating Danger Mouse and Count Duckula? It blows your mind.

Actually my mistake I said you should send me one on your post from a few months back. I have paying work :)

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Dude I sent you a DM. You gave me silence ;)

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Replied to one of his posts, suggested he DM me here, too. I love Simon, but I need to move on.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

already asked Simon to email me. Never got a reply back.

Letterers I know, who've worked with me or who have legit published samples - paid gig. Hit me up.

Today's hot take from someone barely in the scene anymore. Just because you've been shown how to edit a comic, doesn't mean you're a good comic editor.

Point being I read the poem as a human reply from someone who used AI to do this. Context is key.

Well this has just killed my day.

Rob Liefeld talking bollocks and making up shit while blaming others? Surely not.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Well, bloody hell, government. Thank you very much for scaring the shit out of me with a big alert on every single device in this house to tell me it's hot. I hadn't fucking noticed.

Clacton - if you're unsure who to vote for, remember if Count Binface wins, he won't be representing you in Parliament. It'll be his real persona, Jon Harvey, who is a savvy and intelligent political satirist who knows Westminster. Or you can vote for the idiot cosplaying as a man of the people.

Still don't understand why this was never turned into a TV show.

You see, now I have to know whether you had to search up whether he was Red Two, or whether you're as much a nerd as I am.

But it's 2026, Neil. Being optimistic is so before "the end days."

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

As someone with experience of two massive licenses being thrown together - and how bad they can be - these sort of things concern me. That said, this seems to be set before the end of Star Wars (Biggs lives!), so I'm curious... You'd better not do my boy Wedge wrong, Smith.

100

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

yeah, I'm really not sure about this. Having been involved in crossovers of multiple licenses that have been absolute dogshit (Doctor Who / Star Trek, for example), where the writers and editors had no clue, I'm concerned this will just turn into Star Wars people turning up in an Avengers comic.

Ted Kord Blue Beetle and Tony Stark Iron Man.

I'm not sure. Devlin's a massive Whovian. LEVERAGE has a ton of deep cut Doctor Who Easter Eggs.

Ten unicycles? That’s decalogue-like.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I love Gail's new game. It's where she gets arsey at people playing with the "ogue" tag of the original because it's not pronounced the same, in a back and forth conversation. The game is dialogue-like.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

it's because he does the Crewkern Gazette or whatever it's called, which is a very Tory-positive, screw-everybody-else "satire" series.

000

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Of course she has. Every single one of these bollocks AI "satires" has her portrayed as a strong female leader. If anything, this is the best PR she's ever had.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

have you actually ever missed one?

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Okay, so as a confused Brit here, what's the deal with Mitch McConnell? If he is dead, or brain dead, or unable to fulfill his term, and this is a cover-up, who's covering up and who gains from it? Dems? Republicans? Genuinely curious.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I agree with this, but the problem isn't they're forgotten. They're not. Every writer pitches these as they're told "don't pitch the main guys we know those" and so ALL of these are pitched repeatedly. DC just don't care enough.

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

So... it's just hit The Bookseller - I have a new cozy series called The Moriarty & Co Mysteries, that'll be published by Simon & Schuster's new imprint, Simon Streams - and hitting Amazon / bookstores later this year. 🙂 www.thebookseller.com/news/simon-s...

So, if you're at Comic-Con this weekend, have a great time, say hi to people I know for me, and know that I'm stupidly jealous that you're out there having fun while I'm on a deadline. And hopefully by the end of the week, you'll understand exactly why I can't make it.

020

Tony Lee @mrtonylee.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

That said, after ten years, I'm missing it. No matter what happens next year, I will be attending, especially as it'll be the final Mandrake Project book being released and also some rather exciting comic-related things that won't be happening until 2027. And more importantly, I miss my friends. /4
