Here's a preview of a strip I have in print this coming week. Big Eggo is still searching for his egg, and decides to check out the Beanotown museum to see if it's in there. See the full story in Beano No.3944, on sale Wednesday 18th July!
Yes, it's only July but The Dandy Annual 2019 is out now, well in time for Christmas! I have four Keyhole Kate pages in this, plus a puzzle page. It's always an honour to contribute to a book that I used to have every Christmas when I was a child. (Today I'm drawing a page for the 2020 annual!)
The Dandy Annual 2019, 112 pages of all-new stories. Available now from the D.C. Thomson shop and other online sellers.

25 years ago, I drew a couple of pages on spec for Sonic the Comic. I didn't get the job as an artist, but, as some of you know, they did employ me as a writer for several years so all was good. I later sold my unused pages to a collector, and he's now made a little video on YouTube showing them, panel by panel. Works quite well. (The story is a cliffhanger as they were just sample pages so don't expect a neat ending.)

The relentless heatwave continues in the Beano again this week, with Big Eggo in the park. Has he finally found his egg, or is it a mirage caused by the heat? Find out in the Beano No.3943, on sale Wednesday 11th July!
Here's a little preview of the next Hygiene High strip. Written by Niall Murray and drawn by me, it'll appear in Epic No.148, on sale Wednesday 11th July, published by D.C. Thomson. The two page strip is just part of the 48 page magazine, which comes bagged with toys and other gifts for £4.99.
I'm pleased to add another event to my convention schedule for this year. On Saturday 8th September I'll be at the High Vis Street Culture Festival in Digbeth, Birmingham. (The event runs for two days but I'll just be there for one.) This is a brand new event, and different to the usual comic con in that it focuses on dance, music, and the arts. Should attract a new crowd, so I'm looking forward to it!
Hunt Emerson will be another comics guest, and I'm sure others will be added soon too. I'll post more details as they emerge but for now you can follow their Twitter account for more info!
