Another page from my webcomic Spare Keys for Stange Doors ...

This one was taken from the story 'Cat Food', which was scripted by my sister (she scripted two Spare Keys stories in total; and I loved drawing them both!) The story is very much inspired by her own cat, and what he might have been getting up to while she wasn't watching ...

He may look chill, but this is the face of an animal that is planning shenanigans.

Like all cats, tbf.

Spare Keys for Stange Doors is free to read online on my website.

The book is currently on sale in my shop for 25% off this week (including some almost perfect misprints for £6 only!)

I have four new zines in my shop – 'The Little Book of Panic' (collecting the anxiety / negative self-talk series I posted here earlier in the year), 'Parenting Comics' (collecting the parenting strips I did back in 2018), a mini folded Sandman fanzine, and my daughters first ever zine 'The Truth About Bunnies'.

I'm also offering 25% off my Spare Keys books for one week only (until 27/11/2023), use the code SPAREKEYS25 at checkout, or just follow the link above ...

I feel like I haven't really introduced my comic here, so I'll probably post a few pages this week - as well as being in my shop, it's also free to read online!

DO YOU ... READ WEBCOMICS

(... IN THE UK)?

A while ago, I did an interview with a PhD researcher about my experiences as a webcomic creator. She was really friendly, and it was fun talking things through with her! Now she's looking for some people who read webcomics, rather than creating them - so I'm sharing this in the hopes that some of you would also like to take part!

Do you or someone you know read comics on screen devices (mobiles! tablets! laptops! desktops!)? A PhD researcher is hoping to talk to regular readers based in the UK, not specialists, just ordinary readers- can you help?

To find out more about the research and how you can participate, see  Reading Along with Readers Reading Digital Comics

As well as zines, I've also been getting art books - though my collection is much smaller, because these guys are at the opposite end of the price scale XD They are so beautiful though ... Again, if anyone has any art books they recommend, then drop me a comment!

Just did a post with all my Inktober pictures, if you fancy scrolling through them all at once!

Hathaway and Sark are your local Specialists - previous experience includes visitations, disappearances, compulsions, manifestations, transf

I did enjoy the process, and I'm really happy with some of the ideas that came out of it. That said, I don't know that I'll do it again. It did stress me out rather, and reminded me how much I've enjoyed not having deadlines over the past year ...

Your reminder that every few years you need to go back and watch the Numberwang sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Look.

So I've got a bunch of random bits and pieces (photos, art bits etc. that I gathered / took / made over the summer) I keep thinking I'll upload in some kind of organised fashion, but I've finally accepted that's never going to happen so I've decided I'm just going to queue up a whole load of stuff and let it just ... roll onto tumblr.

Sorry if it all ends up seeming a little disjointed XD
