THIS YEAR at ALMOST NORMAL COMICS

Warren "Wee" Elliott has reviewed This Year over at Almost Normal Comics.

"Crisp, clever, and gloriously eccentric, This Year delivers maximum Scottish charm per square inch. At a total steal of a price, it's an essential pick-me-up for anyone who appreciates slice-of-life indie humor with a pleasantly unhinged twist."

RIP John A. Lent

Comics academic, author, researcher. He was founder and editor of The International Journal of Comic Art, the scope of which was frankly daunting. I was lucky enough to have some articles printed in it over the years. Condolences to his family and friends.

THIS YEAR'S PLAN

Okay, I've put together the plan for my next comic.

I've got a cover idea, 9 stories (3 completed), a finished illustration, and a new idea (for me) that I'm excited to do. Time to knuckle down now and get the work done.

DUNDEE ZINE FEST 2026

Last weekend, I tabled at Dundee Zine Fest, an annual event running at Art Angel in the centre of town.

I was with my buddy Mike Sedakat. The first hour was masked, a good idea to allow more vulnerable people to come along.

A good time was had. I caught up with old comic chums, and met new ones.

Hopefully see you for the next one!

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT COMIC SMELL?

For those of you who may wonder, "Whatever happened to That Comic Smell?" I'm happy to say we still meet up regularly and this very night I have just come back from a fun evening of enthusing over Flash Gordon comics. I also had a lovely Chicken Kurma and Irn-Bru.

FOR THE RECORD at OPTICAL SLOTH

Kevin Bramer has reviewed For the Record over at Optical Sloth.

"If reading this doesn’t make you nostalgic for some of your favorite music (and, most likely, dig out some older music you haven’t listened to in years), then I’m afraid that you just don’t have any soul in you. Yes, I’d call that highly recommended, wouldn’t you?" Have a read of the whole review here: https://opticalsloth.com/?p=29472
