When you sleep, I will creep, into your thoughts like a bad debt that you can't pay. Take the easy way and give in.

Am really chuffed to have been given the opportunity to contribute a cartoon and also do the front cover for next month's One in Four magazine which is out on December 7th.

You can pick up a copy in libraries, GP surgeries, primary care trust facilities, universities, and Mind charity shops.

Or even better, SUBSCRIBE, and with a bit of luck The Big B might invite me back again.

It's cool to love your family

My favourite uncle has been visiting recently. I'm sure he represents a recognisable strand in the taxonomy of Unc-dom, but for me he is truly one of a kind.

Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways?

I have yet to actually watch an episode of X Factor from start to finish. That said, even I can spot two off-key twonks a mile off. And this time, even Hitler agrees with me.

And I have got nothing to offer you, no-no-no-no-no. Just this heart deep and true (which you say you don't need)

prozacville-at-comiket

Last Sunday I was at the overwhelmingly good and varied Comiket, part of the Comica Festival at the ICA.

Gareth Can-I-Borrow-Your-Toilet Brookes organised a cartoon wall as part of the event: a multi-paneled wall à la Raphael on which Comiketicipants were asked to riff off a randomly assigned line from Watchmen, in charcoal. (Although some people cheated by smuggling in their own art materials and colours, the cads!)

How to fight loneliness? Smile all the time

One thing I now have in common with Chris Ware: both of us doing product placements for this man.
