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

It’s almost December. Some of your relatives will be expecting greetings cards. Why not send them something fun, that shows you care but also acknowledges this season is a bit ridiculous?

It happened again! This time the guy tried to tell me I could only get a proof of postage if I upgraded to a more expensive service.

OH REALLY, SIR.
Right, proof of postage, IS a thing still…right?? Because the lady at the post office just looked me in the eye and told me it wasn’t a thing when you use stamps. And then I asked what do I do if something goes missing, and she smiled and told me “nothing goes missing”.

Last year we started organising the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition… this spring I was in the midst of detailed planning (like this wall space plan I made.) It’s unbelievable to see it all come together and look so good. 🥲 (Swipe to see a photo of it looked on opening day this weekend!)

Absolutely everyone connected with literacy: the enjoyment of reading crisis is a travesty! Above all else children must be encouraged to enjoy reading again!
