Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 16/02/2026And back to London we go - the colours for JINGLE SQUAD chapter 4 are coming in thick and fast now from @rorydraws4.bsky.social. Roughly 10 more pages to go and then over to @robjoneswrites.bsky.social to work his magic while @andylanning.bsky.social & I crack on with Chapter 5 script edits... 033
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 08/02/2026And then there was colour - @rorydraws4.bsky.social has done a cracking job with this crazy panel and now over to @robjoneswrites.bsky.social to bring it home. Easily one of my favourite JINGLE SQUAD panels so far... 022
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 05/02/2026So one of the fun things about JINGLE SQUAD is that we have hidden squirrels throughout the book - which means readers get to find them, actually between them @andylanning.bsky.social @rorydraws4.bsky.social & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social have hidden lots of little easter eggs throughout the book... 011
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 03/02/2026JINGLE SQUAD Chapter 4 coloured pages are starting to drop, love this stage in the process. As usual @rorydraws4.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social are bringing their A-Game. It's a big chapter with a lot of design work in it so a way to yet, but very exciting 😀 122
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 29/01/2026And that is page 38 of chapter 4 of JINGLE SQUAD inked - now for some colours & lettering, & then on with the final 2 chapters - It's been a long journey for @rorydraws4.bsky.social @andylanning.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social, but it's starting to feel like the end is in sight... maybe 😀 031
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Production on JINGLE SQUAD passed the halfway mark over Crimbo & to celebrate (but also so @rorydraws4.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social could enjoy the fruits of their labours over the last year) the folks over at Shift ran off some sample copies. Very Cool. 021
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Before Crimbo I shared part of the bonkers page from Chapter 4 of JINGLE SQUAD that @rorydraws4.bsky.social was working on. Post Crimbo @robjoneswrites.bsky.social has gotten his mitts on it and ratcheted up the bonkers even more... Can't wait for the colours... 022

Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 03/01/2026End pages.. Whats the deal? as JINGLE SQUAD is only my 2nd GN I'm learning a lot as we go. For example, the chapters are all different lengths so @rorydraws4.bsky.social & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social needed to get a creative ensuring each chapter started on an even No. can anyone say wrapping paper. 021
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 30/12/2025The most important element of creating anything is the team you put together & for my first All Ages Graphic Novel - JINGLE SQUAD I couldn't ask for a better team than @andylanning.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @rorydraws4.bsky.social - Comic Book Gold 😀 011
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 29/12/2025As a battle hardened, black-ops unit in the elf army JINGLE SQUAD needed one thing, an insignia... @rorydraws4.bsky.social knocked this out the park & I think he, @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social should get this tattooed somewhere secret once the book launches & goes mega... 222
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 22/12/2025I do love seeing pages come to life as they move through the stage from pencils through to final colours.

I woke up with this image waiting for me in my inbox. It blew me away... I've had a vision of this shot in my head for almost 10 years WOW 021
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 17/12/2025JINGLE SQUAD isn't just home to fantastic characters, it's also home to a number of mildly magic artefacts, none more so than the Sonic-Army-Knife. A great example of how @rorydraws4.bsky.social & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social added more story & richness to the world through Chapter Covers. 021
Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Killer Robot Snowmen might be the best snowmen ever but It's safe to say @rorydraws4.bsky.social designed them differently to how I saw them in my head, they @andylanning.bsky.social added in visual storytelling beats & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social gave them a language of their own - So much better. 042

Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Storytelling doesn't just take place in the panelled pages of a graphic Novel, it takes place on every page. For JINGLE SQUAD @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @rorydraws4.bsky.social have really embraced that idea ensuring that every page of the book adds to the rich story world & the readers enjoyment 022

Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Like an Advent Calendar the JINGLE SQUAD reveals keep coming, although 24 days of these might require some creativity, thankfully the amazing @rorydraws4.bsky.social / @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social have created enough art over the last year that, that shouldn't be an issue. 022

Reposted by Rory DonaldMatt McCartney @monkeyroo.bsky.social · 23/11/2025This whole 'comic-writing' thing is relatively new to me, but already my favourite part is seeing the art come to life, going from sketch to final image. Of course it helps when you have folks like @rorydraws4.bsky.social, @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social bringing it to life. 032
