And a fun fact: All my comics have video game inspirations from my love of video games growing up! Some are old games I used to play as a kid, and some are more recent games I've picked up to do research for a comic series (Tournament Tour: Fighter)

Thought I would share an interesting fact about the original logo of Tournament Tour. The Original Logo's "wings" had four colours, which all was going to represent something. I only had planned two of the four colours, with Red being about Fighting Games, and Blue about Racing Games

Of course! It's Monday!

These Comics? 😏 They're Free? 😳 On a particular Day in May? 😳 And if you form them together, they are like Books- ok that was a long stretch 😭 This is my haul from #FreeComicBookDay at @cecomicsuk.bsky.social last Saturday, a vast range of comics!

Here's more photos, including the infamous DOUBLE CHIN 😭 on the second page. It was really nice speaking with Simon and Mark (Picture 2) about comics and it was really nice as well to see a younger audience be so passionate about it in comparison to the people I was around when I was growing up!

😍😍 Please share any art you got on Saturday with us! We love looking at pretty pictures!

Close Encounters Bedford has THREE book clubs (because we're crazy). Here's the deets for May's events! If you want more info then get in touch!

Keep seeing Insta Reels that are promoting and demoting the consumption of Sugar Free Monster, saying stuff like "Oh drinking these on a regular basis is actually good for you because they've got this, this, and this in them" ... I've got to ask: who tf drinks Sugar Free Monster?

Was at the Leeds Comic Collective yesterday evening, and two of the collaborators that worked on the auto-bio were there, being @pd-marshall-comics.bsky.social and @jpatricks.bsky.social Good seeing everyone yesterday! 😎

Cue the: "ITS THAT EAST ANGLIAN COMIC BOOK WRITER H.L. ROBERTS 🀯🀯🀯🀯" proceeded by me appearing and saying ✨Hello✨, post You can now find my Auto-Bio, along with my other comics, at Kapow (and Beamworks) in Leeds! Thanks to @nickgonzo.bsky.social for stocking and buying the comic for Zineophilia!

If you love comics, and those who make them, then please make sure you cast a vote in the Ringo Awards this year. I will also say, I am not adverse to your vote, but there are so many incredible letterers out there who deserve your vote.

Are there any up to date Anti-Food Waste zines or comics out there? The reception of the Auto-Bio has been very positive, which I'm glad as it's on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to doing what I do with comics. Looking to put something together in the future possibly

Off to Leeds today for a few bits and bobs, so there might be a few posts today if I don't get busy or overwhelmed like I did with London a few nights ago πŸ˜…
