In the good news column, I was at a launch last night at gosh and everyone was BUZZING about the kids comic fest, @yocomicsfair.bsky.social. Apparently kids were losing their minds with excitement about meeting comics creators. Kids still value the real thing!

So lovely to see people’s reactions to MEGA ROBO VILLINOOS at @yocomicsfair.bsky.social and on here! My co-creator is not one to visibly show emotion unduly / at all if he can help it, but I can tell he is secretly very pleased.

Marianne Doherty @mariannedoherty.bsky.social · Mar 28

Thank you so much @neillcameron.bsky.social for this most excellent post! I have a very pleased 9yo.

Had a fantastic time at @yocomicsfair.bsky.social in London yesterday! Failed to take any photos (of course), and am now too exhausted to tell you all about it (of course), but it really was an amazing day and I just want to say a huge thank you to the organizers and to all who came along!
