Thinking it out: What if your book was an app, not...
I’ve been thinking a lot about the best way to tell stories and then get them to people. Yesterday I discovered GUMROAD, which offers a great pay-what-you-want system for artists to sell their books digitally. I bought a PDF from it, paid five dollars, all lovely.
The problem is PDFs. PDFs, man. They’re universal, seems like everyone can use them, but they feel kinda flat. Basic. If you want to...

So come over and have a look at fumboo.com, i’ve filled it up with even more comics, and am going to fill it up with even more when i just get a spare blimmin’ minute.

What If Comics Were Free?
My good friend Colin at the horror movie website zombiehamster.com (warning: horror, obvs) pointed me towards a new thinking some film companies are adopting, that is to release their films on DVD, or even better, stream them, at the same time as releasing them in the cinema. As an attempt to curb piracy, it’s an admirable one of course, and very long overdue. More than long overdue, blindingly...

A New Comic.
Losing the print version of The Dandy, which was announced this week, presents a real hole in the market, and one which may well get wider. What The Dandy did, and did very well, was be silly. Gloriously, ridiculously, silly, a real mixed bag of the absurd. And while we still have The Beano, it always felt like The Dandy was its ever-so-slightly childish younger sibling (despite being older),...

Everything's Exciting And Nothing Hurts.
Sometimes I get asked advice about drawing comics. The benefits you’ll get from asking are akin to shouting your own name into a bin, in so much that it’s probably not going to change anything about your current lifechoices. I can give you all the advice in the world but it’s not going to give you the heart and fire you’ll need to already have. Dancers act like they have all this passion burning...

Sherlock clues.
HELLO SO I enjoyed the end of Sherlock as much as anyone and the chatter about it has been fun. I’ll confess last night I went a little bit mad and started picking up on some extremely tenuous links, and following them for miles and miles and so everything here is kinda batshit stupid. But it was fun to find some weird coincidences, and if nothing in here lines up then at least it’s a...
