Just seen our regular @zaraslattery.bsky.social is running another of her excellent painting workshops this summer. Get in there buytickets.at/inksplattery...
One of our group was the editor for this Saint comic so we got a sneak peek at the script and the process - if you like classic adventure/spy stories it’s well worth backing before the crowdfunder closes on Monday
simonrussell.website@simonrussell.bsky.social · last mo.Who likes comics? Who remembers Simon Templar, The Saint (Roger Moore or Ian Ogilvy)? How about the first Saint adventurer in a comic? I’ve read it and it’s bloody good. 3 days left to back it… www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre...
Cartoon County is apolitical in principle - anyone with any political views can and should make comics - but this is not a difference of ideologies, it is fascism As the default skeeter for the UK’s premier comics city, I’m saying outright we oppose this absolutely and support Des Estrada
Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com · last mo.A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Thank you to everyone who had a stall at our takeover day at Brighton Open Market. And everyone who came to shop, chat,read or doodle. A lovely day that proved if you put comics in front of the general public they will be interested in them. A change from the same fiver circulating a room maybe?
...and on Sunday we'll be in some very illustrious #comics company at the @cartooncounty.bsky.social Open Market Takeover in Brighton from 10am. Come and see us - and them! (We'll keep the #CPFC stuff under the counter at that one 😉) #comicsfair #smallpresscomics #zines
