Elon Musk: American Oligarch. Preorder it now.
"The Smashing Machine" is basically the title of every Wallace and Gromit story.
There’s quite a lot of “I’m not a comedy writer but there’s seems to be a lot of work for not much money” in the replies, and I hate to be the one to say this but YOU DON’T SAY.
Bluesky is dying? Not the website full of vicious reactionaries, where humour goes to die?
We’re definitely in the Warhammer 40K Emperor era

The final phase of largest-ever expansion of publicly funded childcare support has begun in England, as thousands of working parents receive more help with their nursery costs. Those eligible are now able to get 30 hours of free childcare per week during term-time for their children aged 9 mths-4yrs
When Trump does people on Bluesky might have to show joy about something and that could very easily kill them all
I have a book out in two weeks. So....one repost of this and I'll drop one fact/spoiler/detail about the book. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social www.walker.co.uk/978152951581...
Taken (also maybe the sequels to Taken). also the Mad Dogs TV show that I haven't watched yet. The Missing and The Assassin TV shows that I did watch and liked.
Mayor Giuliani was helping a woman when he fell and his trousers became unbuttoned, it was at this point tha
To prove that Donald Trump is alive and well the White House has released this photo of him helping a lost child earlier this morning
My dad had this poster and for years I wanted to know who Mist Urine Man was
Uploaded 266 finished pages of mine and Angela Watson’s anti-racist GN memoir, to be published August 2026. 16 years in the making. Watch this space for more news. #comics #graphicnovels #BookSky
Have we talked about how wonderful Long Story Short is? It’s got that wonderful mix of being silly and heartfelt at the same time. I love it.
Absolutely no high fives
I love this!
BUSY TOWN
Is Nicholas Witchell still around? I just assumed he had been buried with the Queen like an ancient Pharaoh
Nicholas Witchell:
Wait, are you being accused of peeing in the living room?
This looks like a horror movie about people hiding front a giant Kate Middleton
If The Life of Brian was made today I guarantee that everyone on Bluesky would call Python “Edgelords” and refuse to watch it.
Ah thanks man! Will get on this - much appreciated!
To my shame I’ve never read any Moorcock. I’ve been meaning to remedy that - where would you say would be a good place to start?

Donald Trump has been replaced with a teenaged Trump, an energy Trump, a cyborg Trump, and HUD secretary Scott Turner in power armour.

Hey, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best
Would you believe I had that script rejected?
I’m very sorry to hear about Donald Trump. Nothing has happened to him, I’m just sorry to hear about him.
Michael Palin: Things are too adversarial. Bluesky: You have made a powerful enemy today.
Goes on Twitter "I'm not dead! Look!" "You’re just a bot! You’re totally dead!" "I'm not dead! Here's a video of me saying I'm not dead!" "That’s an AI deep fake. You died a week ago!"
You’ve got yourself a Black Mirror pitch right there
I am 100% sure that I will find out that he’s dead by someone making an unfunny joke on here like “Fake tan now going cheap at Mar a lago”
But… but all those headlines that said, ‘Pow! Comics Aren’t Just For Kids Anymore!’… did they mean *nothing*?!
Dude! That creative thing you do is awesome! You absolutely HAVE to monetise and remove every last trace of joy from something you once loved!
(Can confirm I personally was mean to Hannity in a NY restaurant. He was acting like a total ass & no one was giving him the VIP treatment he so clearly expected.) How were we mean? We gave him dirty looks, then ignored him.
Once again, this is a stupid country.
How many Bluesky users does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, one to do it and one to say "I can't believe you're not wearing a mask this far into the pandemic"
How many Bluesky users does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, one to do it and one to get irrationally angry with you personally about something only tangentially related to lightbulbs
Whoever has been writing headlines at @the-independent.com recently is doing a great job
They’re called invoices Rich
There was also that time that I liked one of your posts. Don’t forget that.
This is the exact point where the joke-writing elements of our workshops intersect with fun ('fun'?) English lessons, flea-market scavengers, fans of The Simpsons and people who enjoy squawking "SIXTY-FOUR POUNDS!?!!!"
I love this so much!
Finally I can monetise @nedhartley.com without permission

Male actors reading audiobooks, I am begging you - just because a character is female doesn’t mean you have to do “the voice”
The most important thing is that I did not buy the phone, even though it's clearly awesome. I have no space for it and I never use our landline.

From this week’s Beano.
No, is that @yourpalfanton.bsky.social and @victorianclam.bsky.social? I love it!

Come say hi in Bristol UK, 7th September! Hope to see you there my tasty little muffins
What do you mean I used that excuse last week?
Absolutely fair
The opposite can also be said, tbf.
Hi I’m sorry I didn’t come into work yesterday but I was taken over by an interdimensional entity called Parralax and can’t be held responsible for my actions.

We’re allowed to talk about this because it’s no longer sub judice
“It’s just really exciting to be part of the Burger King cinematic universe,” said Sam Mendes. “We want to tell the story of how the Burger Prince became the Burger King. It’s like Shakespeare, really.”
Today on the BBC: How achievable is Palpatine’s plan for blowing planets up with a space laser?
This obi was hard. I’m very sad to report the passing of the marvellous comic artist, UFO and Rush fanatic Dave Taylor, most recently known for his outstanding work for 2000AD, who, at the time of his death, had been working on the second volume Megatropolis for Judge Dredd Megazine
True. The only other one that I can think of is Dolph Lundgren
Richard E Grant?
oh no did your barrel of crackers change the pictures? are they magic pictures?
Americans are trying to make me take them seriously while also arguing about the logo of a company called “cracker barrel” for four straight days.
Hello! I hate joy!
But this survey is from... next week!
Me: "Yes, when certifiable Quint smashes the radio with a baseball bat, why don't Hooper and Brody overpower him and drive the boat back to Amity Island?" Interviewer: Makes sobbing noise.

That’s the latest on this story, but do let me know if there’s any change.
Gen AI being forced into every product is like when every TV sold in 2015 had to be a 3D TV and come with 3D glasses, which is good because now we all watch 3D movies all the time always.
Me: Yes. Why does Victor von Doom call himself Doctor Doom even though he never finished his studies, while Reed Richards has a PhD but he calls himself Mister Fantastic? Interviewer: [pinching the bridge of his nose] For the last time, questions about the job.
Well, look at THIS! My first time on a JUDGE DREDD strip in 2000AD, and it's on a bumper prog! Join me, @gdwessel.bsky.social, Jack Davies and Annie Parkhouse as we FREE CHERESE! In orbit TOMORROW!
Ah cool! I love his style!
Oh wow, who is the artist? (Such a great album)
Saw this phone box that had been turned into a library today, which was rather lovely.
All I am saying is that he is exactly the type of person who would be bitten by a zombie and then try to cover it up

The worst thing is that he’s going to last for years while they pump him full of drugs like that mad warhammer emperor
I just did this exact same thing with my 10 and 13 year olds, but now they are old enough to laugh at me and call me pink.
All this talk about Trump’s health reminds me of this old Soviet joke
Hey @imagecomics.com creators—looks like the accounting @ email address got hacked. DO NOT click the link you got sent this morning by Sue Korpela (it goes to a Russian site) and don’t reply. Hopefully as soon as the west coast wakes up this’ll be sorted out Please RT, comics folks
