There's a story behind this #DirkGently #Pride #LGBTQIA+ #Comic 1-shot. I've never told the story. It involves censorship, love, J.K.Rowling and the BBC.

I wonder if it's time I told it? #LoveIsLove

Did you know that Cardboard Boxes have at least four uses? In fact, as the second most useful thing in the universe, it's likely far more than that.

Tomorrow night I'm giving a talk about my career at the Haywards Heath Arts Festival in West Sussex, England. There's a ton of clips (many video, rarely if ever seen) and a lot of inside stories about working in radio, audio, animation and more. If you can make it I think you'll enjoy it.
