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.

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.

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.

@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. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
