On Saturday morning at LICAF I will also be talking to Finnish comics creator Petteri Tikkanen and Swedish graphic novelist Bim Eriksson about their work while they take part in a live drawing event. I have never done anything like this before so it's going to be interesting!

Broken Frontier was, of course, born in Belgium 24 years ago so it seems particularly fitting that I'll be part of the 'Belgian Comics Now' strand of programming at LICAF this year. I will be in conversation with Belgian graphic novelist Joris Mertens on Saturday morning. licaf.co.uk/festival/eve...

Anyway, I'm doing a ton of stuff at LICAF this year. But more importantly there's a list here of some very talented #BF6toWatch artists who will be tabling and you should buy all their comics. Because I said so.

A year ago today in conversation with the legendary @sxbond.bsky.social in the Old Laundry Theatre at LICAF. That was a lovely event to be a part of!

People often ask me: “CPUK, are you coming to LICAF or MCM?” And I titter, and then I laugh, and then I guffaw, and then my eyes go blank and my jaw unhinges and I’m not quite sure what happens after that but nobody ever asks me twice.
September 27, 2026 at 6:57 PM
Can't quite believe it's LICAF in just a few days time...

As ever I'm more than happy to chat BF with people at the Lakes Festival next weekend. Just come over and introduce yourselves!

There are 9 #BF6toWatch artists at LICAF this year though so on the Sat eve we're having a little social meet-up so if you can give me that hour off I'd be grateful!

We’re gearing up for LICAF next weekend, who’s coming?
I don’t think we’ll be boating this year, since the festival will be in Kendal and the schedule’s packed with stuff we’re keen to see.

Finishing up writing up my questions for all the events I'm moderating at LICAF next week and doing my normal back and forth between "Are these enough questions for an hour?" and "There are too many questions here for an hour.!

Been re-reading Zara Slatttery’s COMA ahead of our LICAF event next week and yeah that’s an incredibly powerful piece of graphic medicine.

Blimey - this has crept up on us…

We’ll be heading up to Kendal for @comicartfestival.bsky.social next week - and sincerely hope you will too.

@simoart.bsky.social I’ve got a big favour to ask you but I can’t message you on here. I’ve sent a private message to @catfoodcomics.com. If I send you a message on Etsy that might work. I’d love you both to come into my kids school the Friday of LICAF. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
