Funnily enough, as a puppet he's controlled from the underside.

"...and unfortunately for me, both are despair. What I mean is, when it comes to truth, or thinking something is truth...listen kid, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Turns out drawing one of those pages that acts as a side-scroller takes a lot of time.

Finally uploaded a fabric design I made ages ago onto Spoonflower. If any of you fabrickers know of a better site, I'm all ears!

At the moment, I've got three variations of the femme fatales from the Ditch Angels endpapers. I'll do some blokes soon.

Despite all of the gloom, there are still bright sparks out there in the world. More Alex Automatic is basking in warm sun on a cold day.

Damn, what a great cover! Mike Sekowsky was an outstanding talent - his work on Supergirl and Wonder Woman was A-grade comics.

I love Mike Sekowsky so much. I want an artist's edition soooo bad.

Thanks! I always thought it'd look cool as the lining of a coat, which is why I made it in the first place... right in the middle of moving house five years ago and then promptly forgot about it.

Terrific book from @joeharris.bsky.social and the ever excellent @russellmarkolson.bsky.social. A cool idea executed perfectly. Does for baseball what Sinners has done for the blues (if that isn't too presumptuous).

Reminder: I am REGULARLY blogging again, daily even! It's to try and habitualise myself in to it and away from social media/doom scrolling. It's largely news free, picks the best of the things I've found on social media, and lets me empty my brain of thoughts daily-And it's here: www.pauljholden.com
