Hello New Following People! My name is James and I draw Gorebrah (the beefy barbarian chef) for The Phoenix Comic! It seems like a lot of people are starting to use Bsky this week so I'll get better at posting nice things!

Mid 90s MTV Europe shaped my music tastes for my entire life.

This week in @the-phoenix-comic.bsky.social, Gorebrah becomes obsessed with food cross sections... WITH DELICIOUS RESULTS.

There's a new issue (Viz 350) in the shops. Sorry no refunds.

A post plugging the new issue of Viz (which, as we say, is in the shops today). A Top Tip reading as follows ... a-hem ... and here it is ... "Save money on whoopee cushions by farting loudly at dinner parties. Tim Steel, Hornchurch."

Zoom out 🙏 🤩 #wonder

Cartoon strip by me who is Stephen Collins. The imagery of the comic starts off with a single electron and then each panel zooms out one step - first to the microchip, then the OLED screen, then the iPhone, the person holding the iPhone, and onwards

Script:

An electron, forged in the first fire of the Big Bang

Courses through a deeply intricate maze of transistors and diodes

mined with unfathomable ingenuity from our planet’s deep geological past

and assembled from all over the world

Into a device perfected through centuries of technological evolution

to perform a beautifully synchronised pixel dance on an OLED screen

in an intricate moving pattern of shifting light

[Show a phone screen with an Instagram post featuring Ryan Gosling and bearing the legend:]

WATCH RYAN GOSLING EAT A PASTY FOR THE FIRST TIME!

whose choreography is powered by an global information network of unknowable complexity

which is specifically tailored to the interests of the being observing the screen

who is a member of the most advanced species on Earth

[Show a shlubby looking GUY idly looking at the Ryan Gosling/sausage roll Instagram reel on his phone while sitting in his pants and a stained t-shirt and eating a massive bag of crisps]

with a brain perhaps more capable of reconfiguring these signals into conscious thought than any other for billions of miles around

[Guy has a thought]:
“Mmm…"

in this endless, silent void.

[Pull back to show the Earth as a tiny blue dot among the stars with a thought bubble coming from it]

"… I want a pasty.”

[ends]

It's been over 24 hours, has anyone mashed up Taylor Swift's 'Actually Romantic' with Pixies 'Where is my mind' Yet?

COW. A. BUNG. A!

It's amazing to think that the makers of Da Bomb hot sauce have made thousands and thousands of dollars from the biggest celebrities in the world, physically expressing how disgusting their product is.

Have a great time!!

Congratulations! Expect a letter from Minnie The Minx dressed as the Queen!

I felt like Luca and Turning Red were starting to give Pixar a new funky fresh flavour but they're just back to Toy Story 5 and Incredibles 3 so that's that.

James Stayte @jamesstayte.bsky.social · 23d

Laika have much better character design than other studios. Though Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem & Mitchells v the machines are the champs.

Genuinely used to think the line was "shoes so comfy, though they're worn out and battered, and they taste of apple pie".

James Stayte @jamesstayte.bsky.social · 25d

Boooooooo.

James Stayte @jamesstayte.bsky.social · Sep 14

Can definitely recommend Batman & Robin Year One. Beautiful Chris Samnee art and a story that's about as close to the animated show as any book has gotten.
