If anyone in the UK has HAD IT UP TO HERE with all the misery they wake up and read, I genuinely think you should read the Phoenix first thing instead. You put down a single £1 and you get six weeks of spirit-lifting comics. Yes it's for kids, but you're into stuff for kids.

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc.
Thank you 🙏🏻

All hail Dizzy! This early '90s UK magazine ad is for Fantastic Dizzy, ft. a late-period Indiana Jones-y take on, uhh, Codemasters' heroic platforming egg. [Scan via the VGHF Library.]

"Junk food is bad for you! It is addictive!"

Meanwhile, companies actively carrying out research to make their shiny "games" be addictive as possible, while the consequences are literally life-ruining, get to whisper "be gamble aware" as they rot the high street.

Isn’t it funny that as soon as you take the Christmas decorations down, that’s when the snow arrives. Maybe I should put them back up 🤔

It's the national year of reading in the uk in 2026. Instead of asking "why don't kids read any more", ask "how can I help them find the stories (and non fic) they will fall in love with". Less "get off my lawn whippersnappers" and more "come, sit on the lawn, here's a comic".

hey did you know I have a podcast about reading british Sonic comics in the 90s?

Well not any more, because it's the MILLENNIUM EPISODE. It usually comes out on Fridays but I've brought it out NOW. You will hear young me at a party as a thousand years tick away and another hove in.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them
