Book of the Year - Graphic Novel Shortlist | The British Book Awards Check out the 2026 shortlist for the Graphic Novel Book of the Year category at The British Book Awards (aka ’The Nibbies)

Absolutely delighted and flabbergasted to be nominated for a British Book Award! Mine and @paulcornell.bsky.social’s WHO KILLED NESSIE is in some excellent company! ❤️❤️❤️ www.thebookseller.com/british-book...

The SPX Table Lottery is live and open until March 15th! We wanna see you there so don’t forget to fill out the form below.

It’s not “some places” at this point — in 50+ opera performances in 5 countries I’ve never seen one without English subtitles available, even in non-English-speaking countries. It’s just industry standard!

The Lady of the Lake presenting Excalibur in Excalibur (1981)

Harvey Stephens, ready for a fight

I don't care how cheap it is, shining a blue light to show that the guy's got a ghost in him rules

Ben Sears is great. What an absolute joy this book will be to get absolutely lost in the backgrounds and supporting cast.

Tate is, characteristically, spotting a genuine widespread problem and then offering the worst possible advice about it

(Sorry for putting this chud in your feeds, but:)

A lot of my personal growth in the past couple years has focused on the question: why do you crave constant hyper-stimulation? Are you really brainmaxxing, or are you protecting yourself from the fear of sitting with your own thoughts and feelings?

This is the beginning of Kristi Noem’s accountability, not the end.

I know how fondly ROM is thought of by many 80s comics fans. Perhaps a few folks haven’t seen Jean Frisano’s covers for the ROM reprints in France’s Strange magazine. Clearly familiar, and sometimes, er, very familiar, & yet different enough in their own fun way.

If you are in line to post a Kristi Noem getting fired joke - STAY IN LINE.

If you enjoyed that miniseries, you will love the Space Ghost ongoing series we’ve been doing at Dynamite! (Which is where that Michael Cho cover came from!)

A six panel comic of a man and a woman where their word balloons are actually other panels (there are no words) indicating future actions and explaining why they did what they did.

a three panel comic about Søren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"

It's that time in my Making comics intro course when I talk image-text relations, which gives me an excuse to share 2 favorite comics that do bewildering things that can only be done in comics! Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal Le Verbe Prophétique alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social. So good!

So MAYBE it’s slightly inconvenient that you can’t tell which color pen it is unless you look at the top of the cap, or take the cap off.

It is my pen, as it was my father’s pen before me

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.” Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

One of the most influential publishers in the modern history of comics has left the company he helped found.

Mike Richardson out at Dark Horse after 40 years

a photo of Guy Gilchrist surrounded by his drawings of various characters: Ninja Turtles, Tom & Jerry, Animal and Fozzie from the Muppets, Kermit from Muppet Babies, Nancy, and the Pink Panther

remembering that cartoonist Guy Gilchrist (The Muppets 1981–86, Nancy 1995–2018, etc) wrote in a 2007 essay:

"The 21st Century will be the greatest era for the Storytelling Arts in the History Of Mankind, and Those Who Master This Language Will Have No Limits To The Riches Placed Before Them."

4 pages from Oracles by Olivia Sullivan featuring various beautiful scenes from nature

It’s one of the most beautiful and moving books we’ve ever made. Honestly, I love it so much.

More like “the CIA indirectly created the conditions that led to the rise of ‘alternative music’ and my entire career”

I'm trying to think of something that would be less helpful to ADHD people than a machine that does boring tasks but randomly gets small details wrong and therefore requires extreme attentiveness to the boring tasks but I'm having a hard time.

Appeals to our worst impulses and biggest weakness.

Asimov's Fourth Law of Robotics: Have fun!

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm. [Ends]

I just updated this talk for a recent Powerpoint party so I'm comin' in hot

Probably not too bad since the money kept rolling in.

What's extra funny is that I've listened to a couple Stewart interviews recently and the dude is a hall-of-fame yapper. Incapable of keeping a thought to himself for ten seconds, never mind state secrets

and yes, if you notice that everything is a "war" with these guys — even a cancer fundraiser — then you get ten points
