#makeaterriblecomicday2026

Two guards stand before a gate. They tell a peasant, "One of us always lies! One of us tells the truth!" Guard 2 says, "You have three questions." Peasant says, "Oh, okay... can a fish fart?" Guards look confused. One, "Er, just a minute." The guards huddle together. One says, "I mean, do you know if they can fart?" The other says, "Tell you what. One of us says yes, one of us says no. That way we're covered." Guard 1 says, "I guess?" They turn back to the gate to see the peasant disappearing through it.

I'll have copies of my most recent self-published effort, BEHOLD! THE FEZ, there too. Superhero sitcom shenanigans!

The cover to BEHOLD! THE FEZ #1, showing body-less figure wearing a fez clobbering tentacled, bat-winged eyeball creatures with a baseball bat against a green cosmic background, while a young woman clings on to a tower of granite heads in terror.

Hey, if you're around Macclesfield this Saturday, I'll be exhibiting at Macc-POW!, selling my usual daft stuff (and doing a How to Draw the Muppets workshop, accompanied by the mighty Puppet Folk Experience!). Hope to see some of you there! maccpow.co.uk puppetfolkexperience.co.uk

I'm exhibiting at Macc-POW!, Macclesfield's Comic Art Festival 2026, Saturday June 27th.

There's a lot else going on right now, I know – but I'm happy to say the final issue of the current MUPPETS NOIR story, "The Snoozing Sleuth", comes out today. (Writing the next one right now!)

Cover art from MUPPETS NOIR #4, showing a blue feathered policeman's hand pointing at Miss Piggy in an accusatory way while Kermit as a detective, Fozzie as a cop and Gonzo as something-or-other look on in alarm.

I've seen several 1960s Superman covers in my feed today, so here's something I did to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Curt Swan, who was, and shall forever remain, "my" Superman artist.

A recreation in my own style of Curt Swan's cover to Jimmy Olsen #74, showing Perry White transformed into a tiger like Tawky Tawny, Lucy Lane shrunk to the size of a doll, and Jimmy Olsen floating in the air like Mr. Mxyzptlk. Superman looks on in dismay. The title of the story is "The Pranks of Jimmy the Imp".

We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. Quote post with yours.

Header image from a comic I drew called "Taniwha", influenced by Maori legends. Text reads, "Cartoonist. Natralised Londoner. Epitaph will read "Drew the Muppets and died" (a reference to Spike Milligan's prediction of his own epitaph, which was "wrote the Goon Shows and died"). Immigrant. Causing incalculable damage to the country since 1990" (a reference to Kier Starmer's comment that immigration had caused "incalculable damage" to the UK).

Make a Doctor Who title less scary

Happy 75th Anniversary to the Goon Show! It transformed my attitude towards authority, created worlds inside my head that I'm still trying to capture on paper, and taught me that there are smart jokes and silly jokes and one's not better than the other. (And sometimes they're the same joke.)

Cartoon drawing of a radio exploding, and characters from The Goon Show being flung about by the blast: Ned Seagoon, Grytpype-Thynne, Moriarty, Henry Crun, Minnie Bannister, Eccles and Bluebottle. Along the bottom are headshots of the four original Goon performers: Michael Bentine, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers.

Oh, and I'll have a new comic.

Comic book cover, title is "Behold the Fez". It shows an empty costume wearing a Fez bashing monsters with a baseball bat on top of a tower of stone faces in an environment filled with green fire, while a scared young woman clings to the tower clutching a book.
