Bubbles, Pieces and Cells
So hey, it’s Though Bubble today! Yay! We here at E-merl towers heartily approve of Thought Bubble and will be heading off to Leeds to share a table with the lovely Paul Fryer. There’ll be copies of the new Necessary Monsters trade to be had, plus a brand new mini comic called Missing Pieces that’ll be making its debut at the show. As if that wasn’t enough excitement, We Are Words + Pictures will be unveiling Paper Science 3, which has a new full-colour strip by me hidden somewhere within its papery depths. More Yay!
Elsewhere and elsewhen (um… in Hatfield on Thursday) I’m also contributing a new hypercomic installation piece to the Cells Symposium being held at the University of Hertfordshire. My piece is called Cells: War On Weird and you can view the web version right here at E-merl by clicking on either of the links in this sentence. Even more Yay!

Why, if it isn’t Mrs Gleason and young Mary Sykes. How are you two ladies? It’s been simply ages!

029. DIY
I totally fixed a shoe-rack to the wall the other day. Much to my surprise nothing went disastrously wrong and I didn’t lose any fingers. So, um… yes. I can haz do DIY now, okay?
