My biggest biggest advice for being in UK comics is and always will be to just be genuinely kind, curious, and collaborative with everyone!! There's so many amazing people in the industry who are so willing to reach out and support you but you gotta be the one to start that well of kindness!!

Thank you again to everyone who supported the Scottish Comics Itch Bundle in July! After conversion and itch fees, each of our creators got a little pocket money and we raised £154 (~200USD) for the Palestine Childrens' Relief Fund 💖
