NEWS! My first graphic novel for kids, HAMSTERS WITH HAMMERS, is now hitting shelves next year, courtesy of Scunnered Ink. If you're at Thought Bubble this weekend, track down Gordon Tait to nab a spiffy new flyer to find out more!

There's a new Beano in the shops and... wait, is Teacher RETIRING from Bash Street school? Gasp! Meanwhile, Roger the Dodger tries a lost property dodge! Scripts by me, art by Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby.

@TomTheyy Ah-ha! Well done, Reddit! Seems like we're acknowledging the other Dennis every 10 years 😆

@YourPalFanton Update, I also asked on Reddit and someone pointed out there was also a brief mention in the May 7th, 2016 issue!

Happy birthday to Dennis the Menace!... Wait, whaddya mean that's the wrong one?? From this week's special anniversary edition of Beano, out today! Script by me, art by Shannon Gallant. #dennis75

@TomTheyy I'm not sure if the US has ever commented, but I'm pretty sure the Beano haven't ever done it, was glad Beano HQ approved it!

@YourPalFanton Mind-blowing crossover that caught me off guard. Is it actually the first time one of the two franchises has commented on the other?

@thegeekofsteel Thanks, Luke.

@YourPalFanton I’m so sorry for your loss, Andy. ❤️💛💙

Really sad to report that my son lost his dear mother Naomi recently. We'd been separated for a while, but still were close in raising the boy (and his brother). She was a really talented person, with the kindest soul that shone out of her face like sunbeams. We will miss her 💔

@RichardHCooper Thank you Richard.

@YourPalFanton So sorry to hear that.

@MalcolmFurnass Thank you Malcolm

@YourPalFanton I’m so sorry for your loss.

@tatha_the Thank you

@YourPalFanton Sorry to hear that Andy

@SophieCreates1 Yes, she had such a great impact on so many people. Thank you.

@YourPalFanton I’m so sorry for your loss. Naomi’s kindness clearly left a mark on everyone. Thinking of you and the boys during this difficult time

@dandouglas Thank you Dan

@YourPalFanton so very sorry to hear x

Guess what? It's Beano Day! I've only written the Bash Street Kids for this issue, but it does include a steamed hams reference for all you Simpsons fans out there! Script by me, art by Shannon Gallant! Out now!

I never liked those parts of the legacy media which were owned by rich white guys, using their platforms to push their own agendas and distorting the news to better serve them. Thank God we don't see that any more in this brave new age, eh gang? Anyway, let's check in on X

In this week's Beano, there's a special Bash Street Kids strip for Children's Mental Health Week, all about finding your place. Plus more mischief from Minnie the Minx and Roger the Dodger. Scripts by me, art by Shannon Gallant, Laura Howell and Barrie Appleby. Out now!

Oh! Nice to see this pop up on iPlayer, I've been a fan for a while. It's the Australian version of a comedy quiz show from New Zealand where comedians partake in spelling challenges - think Taskmaster with dictionaries, sort of. Check it out for a spell! share.google/nFsxjW4TxrhomH…

The new Beano is out today! This week, Minnie the Minx aims to bring colour to February, the Bash Street Kids build a clubhouse and Roger the Dodger tries a cheese cheat! Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam, Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby.

Very much liking the covers of this year's Beano and Dandy annuals! They're out later in the year, and I'm pleased to say that I've done some bits and bobs inside both books. Covers by Nigel Parkinson and The Sharp Brothers respectively.

It's Beano Day, troublemakers! This week, Minnie the Minx wins a bear, the Bash Street Kids try to retrieve a confiscated frisbee, and Roger the Dodger has a muddy mishap! Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam, Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby! In shops now!
