Last time at bat I got absolutely nailed in the nether regions. Golden rule is to show no signs of discomfort but I can’t lie the lad absolutely drilled me middle stump.

I tells ya we missed a massive opportunity post covid to normalise walking about in cyberpunk masks. Our own Vaughan & Martin “The Private Eye” journey is right around the corner.

I’m going to Birmingham and London this weekend. I’ve spent 2 months saving “English” bank notes for the trip. If England really wanted a strong union with Scotland then accept our god damn Scottish bank notes!!!

A reminder just because you can vote in the Eisners You don’t have to vote in every category. If you aren’t familiar with all the work that has been nominated either educate yourself or don’t vote in that category. Nuff said.

Left Scotland this morning nice and early at -1 degrees and arrived 10 hours later in Cancun to a healthy 31 degrees and goodness gracious me I have realised 16 years in the UK has not prepared this kiwi for this. 😅

There was a few years after I accepted redundancy from my first long term career role where comics just weren’t in my budget. The public library was an absolute godsend. It also gave me the opportunity to try out new creators and characters that I previously had no interest in. Check them out.

Cricket chat. Watching Finn Allen smashing the skin off the ball to all corners in the IPL sets unrealistic expectations for my upcoming cricket season. Hell if I can get through with our majorly injuring myself I’ll consider it a win.

Local Carlisle Comicon today. You need a decent mindset going into these events and I think I talked myself out of it from the get go. Still a success but I needed to be better prepared for it in the upstairs department. Onto the next one!
