The good news? UK comic maker Becky Burke is home after being detained by ICE. The bad news, the new regime’s stricter reading of the previously ignored rules on work will catch others out coming to the US for comic events - comicon.com/2025/03/18/f...

The Xmas @2000ad.bsky.social is out on Wednesday 18th, including a great Future Shock by @robwilliams71.bsky.social & Pye Parr - 'Tis The Season For Taking', including this, a phrase that's now burned into my brain as a perfect Xmas thing...

Latest reading… last week’s 2000 AD again before doing the Weekly 2000 AD this week for @thecomicon.bsky.social - Dan Abnett and Mark Harrison are doing something very, very special with The Out. Epic sci-fi where the story comes from their perfect characters.

I will have had, between Thanksgiving and Anniversary and my mandated Saturday off, 3 whole days of doing almost nothing but sleeping, eating, drinking, and generally making merry. I can thoroughly recommend it. Sunday, back to writing about comics. But hey, take a day off, it’s good for you.

This is really fantastic from @eggyhelen.bsky.social (plus gorgeous art by Emily Kimbell). Comics clubs in schools are such a wonderful thing, I could go on about it all day. Just read this, instead!

We have a weekly feature on the 2000 AD website where @richardbruton.bsky.social interviews artists about their cover art for the weekly Prog - this week it's Mark Harrison! "Covers Uncovered" is always filled with previously-unseen process art and design concepts too - have a read!

Another bit of social media where I’ll mean to post regularly with interesting stuff but, inevitably, will fail. Ho hum.
