Very anxious about posting this, but I feel strongly compelled to share. I know it’s a lot to take in for a Saturday morning and I appreciate anyone for taking the time to read it.

This happens every year and I did mention it in the post below but forgot to in the Thought Bubble mail-out. So... if you're debuting say volume 2 of your series in Harrogate make sure to send us volume 1 as well if you're looking for a review. We can't cover part of a story in isolation. Thanks!

People who use Ai are the slimiest of people. It makes my gut wretch that people can be so short sighted as to use it to side-step hiring actual people OR actually up skilling yourself. Imagining paying people for their labour! Imagine learning! Imagining critical thinking!

Once upon a time the small press shelves would be full of comics anthologies providing a platform for exciting emerging creators. Now they’re a rarity. And they are *so* important. BOXES has been consistently excellent and the latest issue needs your support. Let’s do this!

I'll be at this the weekend after the coming one. As this is very much an event full of emerging small press/self-published creators I'll be more than happy to look at people's work while I'm there and have a chat. There's a BF Six to Watch table but if you see me just grab me.

"Broken Frontier does God's work for comics" - Lovely to hear that BF's efforts are so well regarded in the UK community that we got this shout-out at the last Comics Cultural Impact Collective roundtable. (Art by the fab @petermorey.bsky.social)
