Simon's data card is from a Forbidden Planet signing.
Which I set up and ran.
(I may even have taken the pic, I honestly don't remember).
Cue a 'small world' moment and a gobsmacked giant cub!

So, Isaac's monster #Kickstarter Christmas present finally arrived yesterday.
My son is a HUGE #Transformers fan, and this is the epic collection of every comic and story, all the way back to their very, very earliest days (when the lines between Licenses were still kinda blurred):

Published a year ago today.
No cozy, no cutesy, no romantasy.
No thorns, no thrones, no roses, no TikTok.
And absolutely no fucking AI.
Just one old biker, a load of psychotropics, and a derelict fantasy world, lost to madness.

Happy 92nd, Tom Baker.
Photo from six (?) years ago, and a smoother and more accomplished professional you could not wish to meet. Absolutely lovely man, no longer boomingly loud, but very gentle and wise. And still quite wicked, I think!

From the #firstgraphicnovel award last night.
Many familiar faces and a wonderful shortlist, each a fragment of its creator's heart and soul, crafted from personal experience and love. Was genuinely touching, reminding us all what art is really about!

After illness and Binx antics, the new novel is finally underway!
Lots of research still to come, but (dare I say it) I have a cast of characters I really like and a good feeling about this one (shhhh!)
Now: off to sell some books :)

Isaac and I have been rewatching #Spaced, and some thoughts on returning to its wondrous innocence, twenty-whatever years after the fact.
Image is P&F at a Shaun of the Dead event, the day they tried very hard to name my son :)
