I'm off to that there Thought Bubble festival at the weekend, which should be fun (certainly it always has been in the past). As usual I won't have a table of my own but I'll most likely spend some time knocking about with the good folk of The Phoenix and generally wandering about. If you see me there then do say hello. I'll be the chap with not much hair and glasses ...

oh, hang on...

Oh well, I should have a name badge, I think.

And I'm happy to chat, sign, doodle should anyone wish me to.

Oh, and talking of The Phoenix: I'm working on a four page strip for issue 102 (probably). Brace yourselves, fans of Malcolm Bewley. Both of you.

And there's the Christmas card drawing completed (the 'Thanks, Mum, it's lovely' one). At least I think that's the one I used. Still quite fond of the idea, bit less so of the drawing.

Aha! The beginnings of workings on my Christmas card for 2000 knocking about in these pages. More of that later, no doubt.

The return of Edwin and Molly. Expect to see even more of them within the foreseeable decades.



(Possibly I'll even be bothered to draw a background next time too).
