And I gotta say, I’m very, I’m disappointed to be here. Because I thought I‘d go to the best place in the afterlife when I die. People would come up to me all the time and say “Sir,” they‘d say “Sir, I’m sure you’re going to Heaven.” But now I’m here. But that’s ok. Because my lawyers are here.

If you think the BBC should be impartial then this is the place to let them know.

If you don’t want to pay for the BBC or have to watch adverts then this is the place to let them know.

You can‘t complain about the BBC unless you get involved

Markwayne is the placeholder name you give to a villain when you’re busy writing the more fun bits of a YA novel

⚠️ Important London air pollution update for Friday 6 March.

⚠️ I’ve triggered a high pollution alert due to a forecast of particulate levels mainly caused by Saharan dust.

⚠️ Protect the most vulnerable by avoiding unnecessary car trips, engine idling and burning garden waste.

Here's some of my black & white art from the forthcoming Judge Grrr strip written by my good bud @nedhartley.com Ned Hartley. It'll be in this month's Judge Dredd Megazine. This was very much out of my comfort zone but so glad I had the chance to do this.

What does success look like for you, Ned?

Writing a comic where a dinosaur in a Judge’s helmet dispenses bloody justice in the Cursed Earth.

I was in a terrible mood because my train was late, but then the guard just made the announcement ”This is to all the kids who got on the train dressed for Woelf Book Day. You all got on the train very nicely and your costumes are great.”
