Just returned from Thought Bubble in Harrogate, always one of the most joyful weekends of the year. It’s not one of those “Funkos as far as the eye can see” comic conventions, this is one with actual comics and actual creators. Hundreds of them. There’s just this incredible atmosphere of inclusion and inspiration, I love it. Emma Rios, Will Dennis and Jock did a great panel on the art of cover design; my boy had a whale of a time in the Phoenix workshop; but by far the highlight of the whole thing for me was getting to meet Simon Furman. Simon Furman. And he was lovely. If you ever get to meet and thank the person who made you read as a child, it’s quite overwhelming I can tell you.
