🌟 IT LIVES! 🌟 The UK Comics Creator Survey is BACK, baby!

Here to gather up, analyse and disseminate your data to help uplift the comics world, like if Robin Hood was a statistician or something.

A promotional image for the survey, reading “we’ve got questions; we need answers. Who’s in?” Above a series of illustrated raised hands in various styles. At the bottom is the url ukcomicscreators.org.uk

Maintaining a diversity of ongoing personal projects is important because it enables you to procrastinate on one by aimlessly tinkering with another, thereby creating the possibility that you'll finish one of them by accident.

M-dash comes up automatically sometimes when I type space n-dash space ( - ) on certain word processors but it doesn't when on mobile or anything. It's just a larger dash symbol iirc

While at @sequential-scot.bsky.social today I got that amazing energy that a great comic con gives me and I'm so so glad we've got an event like this in Glasgow again. I can't wait for next year! Hopefully I'll be back to being behind the table again by then
