JOIN THE ARMY REPRINT

I recently had my ‘Join the Army‘ comic reprinted and it looks even better than the first run. I’ve uploaded the Iraq Bayeux Tapestry for those who haven’t yet seen it, which covers the outside of the comic. The book (costs: £7/£10) available to buy direct here. 10% of every sale goes to Veterans for Peace UK. Speaking of which, I was at the Veterans for Peace UK Annual Conference on Saturday and they had a panel of former IRA volunteers and ex-British Army soldiers talking about their previous work trying to kill each other and their current work with each other combating sectarianism and healing divisions in Northern Ireland. This is what a peace process looks like. It was powerful stuff. The VfP UK conference just gets better every year, I seriously recommend you come to the public event next November if you’re at all interested in this type of thing. I’ve been working with Veterans for Peace UK and the director Price James on an upcoming short film based on my Action Man: Battlefield Casualties. It’s going to be something else. I can’t wait. #Army #Military

JOIN THE ARMY

My anti-army recruitment comic ‘Join the Army‘ has now SOLD OUT. Thanks to everyone who bought a copy! I’ve been working with Veterans for Peace UK and director Price James on a series of short films based on the Action Man: Battlefield Casualties poster which came with the deluxe edition of the book. We’re going to start production soon and they should be online by the summer. They’re going to make you feel sick. #BeTheMeat #Military

BIOLOGY

In case you ever wondered how the toothbrushes in your bathroom reproduce. It has been observed that, after many months of intermingling between brushes, a mature toothbrush will eventually spread its bristles to allow saliva spores to dribble down the side of the cup and settle around its base. Out of this substrate new toothbrushes will then spring up and grow to full size. By spring, your toothbrush cup will be bustling with a wild array of different toothbrush species, until the point comes that they are culled, plucked by a keen-eyed human and thrown in the bin.

CHRISTMAS CREEPS UP EARLY

Here’s an image from my range of appalling Christmas Cards. You can order yours here. They’re £1.50 each or £9 for 12. I’m also doing fairly regular stall every Saturday in the school yard off Broadway Market, London Fields, in case you’re in the area. From 10am until sunset. I’m going to try and finish some new Christmas related work over the next week or so. Keep your eyes peeled open.

POCKET MONEY LOANS COMES TO A CLOSE

After a pretty insane two weeks, the Pocket Money Loans shop closed its doors to the public on the 8th November. The reaction has been incredible and occasionally depressing. Trying to explain to the two separate mothers who came into the shop why their children couldn’t take out loans was definitely a low point, although it was a lot of fun being told I was “worse than a drug dealer” by a local shop owner. But talking to those who mistook it for a payday lender for adults gave me a much clearer understanding of the reason these shops exist in the first place and the dangers of allowing the market alone to provide a safety net for the poor.
