Be amazing if £1.5m could be invested in the UK comics scene, wouldn’t it? Someone’d need to build a fully-costed, well-reasoned argument to DCMS for such a thing first, I guess…

WELL, NOW. Come see what your friends at CCIC have done! www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org/CCIC%20DCMS%...

Hey! I just won a Selkie award for 'best art' for Torse! This is lovely! I seemed very rude during the awards though as my laptop sound cut out, and wasn't letting me write in the chat. Congrats to everyone though! This is nice
