If by some miracle you happen to be following me, and you're still undecided about your vote, please consider the following:

"Better off" doesn't have to mean "having more money right now."

Anyway. Hush, Si. #Elections2024

We SHOULD celebrate the righteous facekicking the Tories are about to get - may they fuck entirely and perpetually off - but only in the same way you'd celebrate getting a promotion from Junior Wader In Shit up to Executive Floater In Piss.

We're about to get a gov that won't lift a finger to prevent genocide, doesn't go nearly far enough on the environment, and supports the continued curtailment of trans rights. ...yet this is STILL better than we've had it for 14 years, because the 21st century is horrible.

A quick reminder that Eisner Awards voting ends tomorrow. If you work in comics and are registered to vote, please consider voting for I AM THE LAW in the 'Best comics-related Book' category. I'm quite proud of it and some excellent people have said some excellent things about it.

This fad for "nudes in profile" is really weird. You barely see anything when people stand sideways.

Old enough and experienced enough to recognise the day-long process of my brain chemistry flipping from Energetic Pack Wolf to Immovable Black Dog. But not smart enough to know why. Or how to flip it back. Or how to keep going forwards when everything suddenly weighs a ton.

Every now and then I do a little 100-word microfiction, to clear the pipes. I rather like this one. #microfiction

I have half a memory it got used as a clever way of alerting passing pilots that their airstrip had been seized by the Nazis, which feels hideously on point.

Another upside-down union flag, I notice. You'd think the gristly little knacker would've figured it out by now.

Gonna make myself a cardboard VR headset and wear it whenever I go for a walk so nobody realises I'm a twitching demon-infested moon-botherer.

Loads of research. I cheat by choosing topics and settings that I want to get nerdy about anyway. Don't worry about getting lost in detail - it's an artist's job to ignore what they don't need.

AFAIK he never did know. He never calls him by name in USM (unless an errant "peter" slipped through the editorial net. If so, unintended).

Here's an easy fix, guys. Take all the comics you hate - all that newfangled woke shit - right off your shelves. Fill 'em up instead with the works of creators who're still doing what you think comics *should* be. EVS and co. Sit back to draft your "tolja so" while the crowds swarm. We'll wait.

By riding roughshod over the courts' authority, #RishiSunak and his sliverwits are setting a precedent that leads to *literal despotism* - no exaggeration, history's littered with these short, slippery slopes - all to pander to the confected outrage of Telegraph readers. Abject.

He's back.
HELLBLAZER: DEAD IN AMERICA drops in January.
Final orders are due this Sunday.
If you haven't told your retailer you need one of these by then - and, mate, you NEED one of these - you will not fucking get one.

GET ONE.

This week's episode of Off Panel is a doozy, as writer @sispurrier.bsky.social chats about the challenges of his busy workload (including Damn Them All, X-Men: Blue - Origins, The Flash, and more), finding balance within the chaos, being a superhero contrarian, and more.

Spoke to the charming David Harper on the Off Panel podcast. One of the most exhaustively (and exhaustedly) honest interviews I've ever done, I think. Goes pretty deep into process, mental health, work practices and industry real politik, as well as the granular nerdery.

Listen, I'm no conspiracist, but it's interesting how many of the accounts advocating for AI in the arts sound exactly like a sophisticated chatbot doing an exaggerated impression of a human fuckwit. #AI

Flash (esp. Wally) has been my biggest investment in DC as a fan. Their new direction fantastically blends classic elements with a credible move toward dread cosmic horror
