Updated our bio image with characters from @rikworth.bsky.social's and my upcoming Rome book.

Cartoon illustration of Rik and I. Rik - bearded with luscious hair - leans casually against a desk and a stack of books, while holding a laptop. Jordan - bearded, bespectacled and bald - hunches over a desk and draws a comic page. Molly the dog lies on the floor, a magpie perches on Rik's arm, and a spider dangles from a lamp.

Pulled from Reddit (hid the user) about what it was like during that "period" in Germany, how it just creeped up unnoticed, uncertain.

Some confusing inks that will make a lot more sense when I colour them tomorrow.

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

The Witcher x The Revenant

When Gallian colonists venture too far west, they awaken the Horned Ones, ancient demons once restrained by the vanished Great Eagles. Arksanaq, a Tulkan warrior bound to her conquerors, must rally her kin before darkness consumes the world.

"Frightening" Dan McDaid @danmcdaid.bsky.social · 3d

The relentless stupidity of the electorate gets me down, but it's worth remembering they are also victims of an underfunded and understaffed education system as well as shrinking social horizons, and are easy pickings for immoral, nihilistic tech fucks who want to keep everyone siloed and separated

Matthew Stott @matthewstott.bsky.social · 3d

It’s weird how often ‘we’ll cut spending!’ Is a major political selling point, and how often voters think ‘yes, love that for us’. ‘Would you like us to slash funding to all of these things that make your life easier and more pleasant? Vote for us!’

@madcavestudios.com I've been reading #ThePhantom since I was seven. I'm 40 now. I ADORE your first issue. The team did a brilliant job! I think my favourite part, though, was this little Bandar dude pretending to be his hero. 💜
