Tommy Cooper sketch.

Check it out. My graphic novel, THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT, is offered in this Humble Bundle.

We went through multiple versions of art for the cover of last year’s version of THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT before we settled, last minute, on what was used.

@MysticMcCarthy I was gonna suggest Speakeasy…

MURDER SCHOOL is out this year!

Here’s a sketch of Henry Cole and one of the other guys from Shed And Buried. Merry Christmas.

A Christmas tale. The story of my first kiss. A clip from my next graphic novel, MURDER SCHOOL, published by Drawn & Quarterly 2026.

The French edition of WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME made what would have been The Official Selection List for the now cancelled Angoulême Conic Art Festival 2026. I am like the kiss of death.

If you’re looking for ideas for Christmas presents, here are two graphic novels by me published this year you might consider.

RIP Rachel Cooke. Rachel interviewed me for The Observer when I won the Graphic Short Story Prize, reviewed both of my graphic novels for the paper and played an important role in the inflated view I now have of my comics and myself. observer.co.uk/news/national/…
