With irritation just realised that the screaming anti-migrant fuckwits who fib about making white women & children safe technically ARE doing more to keep white women & children safe, because every time there's a protest some blokes with a history of violence/domestic abuse get arrested.

Mentioning South Africa won't dissuade or distract these people because they'd have disagreed with the end of Apartheid there, too.

Facebook pitching me an advert for a play starring Tracy-Ann Oberman and James Dreyfus is pretty hilarious. Like KT Hopkins and Nigel Farage went to RADA.

Agree with all of this. Also, while I have zero doubts about any of the folks I still know who I met in my position as a ubiquitous outsider to the UK comic scene of about 25 years back, it's a relief seeing folks who were also around speak on the subject with their whole chest...

The more of "Colin from Accounts" I watch, the more I'm absolutely certain that at pitch stage there was a completely different version of "DMV" that Harriet Dyer (and probably the rest of the cast, from Tim Meadows on) signed up for.

Pen, watercolor, acrylic paint, black & white charcoal pencil.

One of my favorite pieces from my new book, Spooky Pants. Coming out this October.

A small cabin in the snow surrounded by trees. Two cabin people stand outside holding mugs of hot cider. One of them shouts out, “Big Fella, we got hot apple cider happening over here.” On the other side of the page we see Big Fella, a massive spider emerging from the forest. 

Artist’s note: The spider only has 6 legs.. I made a mistake. However, I did read that some spiders can lose their legs in battle so maybe that’s what happened. Also, this drawing was probably directly inspired by the game Limbo. I love the art direction in it.

Keep feeling genuinely cheery about the fact that some people are going to end up listening to or owning a 2026 Proclaimers album because their politics makes them feel they should. Some of them are even going to feel they need to pretend they fucking love it. And the band will also know why.

Elsewhere on Bluesky folks are noting that The Kids These Days aren't much into Douglas Adams. As someone who is much into Douglas Adams (and in fact wrote an intro to new edition of his works) allow me to remind folks that it's not actually surprising when The Kids aren't into decades-old stuff.

Of all big pop literary icons, only really Douglas Adams and Alan Moore seem to have their heads screwed on right about that different mediums are different, that adaptation and evolution is more important to creativity and imagination than licensing/familiarity. Albeit in different directions.

I think mine was probably the Mutant Massacre, if only because I think later events were lovely but lacked that 'holy shit what is this' feeling of experiencing that for the first time in real time. (My favourite single issue of a crossover is the Daredevil Inferno one though.)

I try not to bag on individual comics on the basis of craft, because that's just mean, but I have no idea what is going on in that Spawn 77 comic. The people working on it have decades of craft, the brand can afford - & possibly mainly has going for it - production values, so... 😅

I can't think of anything more indicative of the downfall of British culture - or at least the collapse of the lie that we're smart and good - than the fact that even our right wingers gladly fall in, repeatedly, behind the least convincing, competent and charismatic men that ever lived.

When I walked past this earlier there were three or four old white ladies in the pen just sort of scowling with what looked like disapproval at everything that went past (but was just as likely just wind), and I've been inwardly chuckling to myself about it since.

Remember: it could be someone you know.
[Scene is a parody of a 1970s Public Information Film. A young girl is going home from school.] 

1
[She leaves the school gates]. 

VOICEOVER:

The world today
is full of people.

2
You meet lots of them every day. 

[The girl crosses the road with the help of a LOLLIPOP MAN]

3
LOLLIPOP MAN says ’to camera’ [girl’s POV]:

Mind ‘ow you go, love.

4
But every time you meet one,

[She gets on a bus]

5
BUS DRIVER [also talking to camera]:

That’ll be 40p, please

6
[She enters a sweet shop]

You must always think to yourself:

7
[The kindly looking woman behind the counter hands her a bag of pick n mix]
 
KINDLY WOMAN:
There y’are, sweet’art...

8
[Voiceover again]:

Could *they* be a person who leaves one-star reviews for things when they get sent the wrong item?

9
[The woman picks up a smartphone to write something]

10
[Cut to a view of her phone screen, it is an Amazon review page for Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro]: 
 
Never Let Me Go
by Kazuo Ishiguro
[one star]
THIS ISN’T A PRIT STICK

11
[Woman looks ‘to camera’ at the girl, sinisterly]

12

my default argument: she's made transphobia mainstream, she's put her HP earnings behind her anti-trans crusade, and - moreover - it is a bad story about how children are cursed to be just like their parents and never break out from their shadow and must live the same cycle again and again and again
