New Readers Start Here!

Firstly, a Happy New Year to all of you, and a big welcome to the new readers who have hopped over from my other blog, Blimey! which I'll be winding down this year.

This blog features news and previews of my upcoming strips, and reflections on my work from over the years. If you're unfamiliar with my material, I've been freelancing professionally in comics full time now for 35 years, writing and drawing humour strips for comics such as Oink!, Buster, The Beano, The Dandy, Viz, Toxic, Marvel UK, and many others.

My current work includes...

The Daft Dimension for Doctor Who Magazine...

Team Toxic for Toxic magazine...

Derek the Troll for digital comic Goof!...

Hygiene High (from scripts by Niall Murray) for Epic magazine...

You'll find Doctor Who Magazine, Toxic, and Epic in newsagents and supermarkets across the UK.

Goof! is exclusively online only and can be subscribed to here:

As well as keeping busy with mainstream comics I also self-publish my own comics occasionally, such as Derek the Troll, Pedantic Stan, and Combat Colin, reprinting stories of mine from long ago. You can order them directly from my website here:

I've been fortunate to be a guest at many comics conventions over the years so if you're attending any this year please drop by for a chat, and/or commission a sketch, buy a comic, etc. Here's the list so far of dates for shows I'll be at in 2019. (More to be added later.) Those marked "To Be Announced" will be clarified as soon as the organisers make the official announcements...
