I’m pleased to announce that I feature in the new issue of the legendary Not My Small Diary, edited by Delaine Derry Green. This is the seventeenth edition of this true-story anthology comic, and features stories from 55 contributors all about High School. I don’t even know who made the cut, but I know you won’t be disappointed…  You can buy NMSD 17 here.

Edit: here’s the full list of contributors:

Smoo #6 available for pre-order now

Smoo Comics #6 is available now for pre-order. This comic is a bit quieter, a bit sparser, a bit slower than Smoo #5. It features seven stories about listening to Hüsker Dü, rainy summers, running naked in French fields, another tale of swimming at night and more besides.

Pre-orders will be sent out in early November and come with little bits of personalisation and a thank you note.

It’ll be available generally at Thought Bubble in Leeds from Saturday 17th November, in person from me at the launch party in Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday 20th November and from this site shortly after that.

Get your copy early by placing your pre-order here!

NB Pre-orders close at 5pm (GMT) on Tuesday 6th November!

Curious what to expect from Smoo #6? Here are some pages - some I’ve shared before, others I haven’t. It’s a different beast to Smoo #5; much quieter, simpler lines, slower stories. Perhaps in some ways it’s more diary-like; in others more abstract. Pre-order details coming soon.

Also, don’t forget about the launch party.

Only 4 pages left to draw of Smoo #6. Here is a car. Points if you can identify what kind.
