I am EXTREMELY procrastinating! Comfort lizards in Escher space!

I had the most wonderful time yesterday at the first ever @yocomicsfair ! I got to meet and speak with so many enthusiastic young comics fans and their grown-ups, did a workshop with pal @marcmakescomics and spent the day alongside my lovely friends @wriggleplum (who sold out the first run of her comic biscuit noir Burt Baxter: Biscuit Detective 😂 - I love my copy Shelley!), @gingermog, @woo_roper and Shrini. I was talking so much it took me about four hours to fully mangle that sandwich. * I feel so lucky to have been part of a day that saw so many children excited about and connecting with comics, drawing, meeting creators and reading. What an absolute triumph of a fair, conceived and organised by total superstars @thegreatescapist , @eggyhelen and @deadlyknitshade and the super team of volunteers. Thank you!! I already can’t wait for next year ❤️ * Ps thanks Lynne and Shelley for letting me pinch your photos!! X

Ah! But who may liberate such gossamer beauties from their enbrickéd towers???

It was SO lovely to do In Writing Live with the writer and comics artist Tor Freeman, talking about her creative process and her brilliant new graphic novel for kids, Boss of the Underworld: Shirley Vs The Green Menace. You can watch the whole half-hour for free, whenever you like – link in my bio!

And what is YOUR byword???

Shirley and George continue their press tour! They are promoting my new full-colour graphic novel, Boss of the Underworld: Shirley vs The Green Menace! @hachettechildrens

Gosh! couldn’t be happier to welcome back the unparalleled cartooning talent that is Tor Freeman who will be launching her new childrens comic Boss of the Underworld, published by @hachettechildrens at 7pm on Thursday 27th March, 2025. 'Boss of the Underworld is one of the funniest books I've read this year, maybe this lifetime, and I'm not even exaggerating. It's INCREDIBLE.' Jamie Smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey "Join Shirley and her giant cockroach friend, George, on a strange adventure through the Underworld. Will they triumph over scary foes, resist eating delicious things in the forest, navigate the Bog of Intense Emotions, and find their way into the dark sewers to confront the Green Menace?? There are many ways into the Underworld... but only one way out! Fast-paced, funny and accessible, this graphic novel series is fizzing with charm and energy." High praise indeed! @tormalore will be here to celebrate the launch on Thursday 27th March, from 7pm. If you can’t make it on the night you can preorder a signed copy of the book for mail-order or collection by clicking the link in our bio. . . . #comics #bossoftheunderworld #torfreeman #hachette #goshcomics #goshlondon
