Thank you to everyone who has submitted something for the Birthday Challenge it’s been such a joy receiving your things. For those who are shy about drawing I’ve got a couple of non-comic/non-illustrations coming up – happy to accept photos, poems, pasta art, whatever you want!). I’m not sure I’ll get all the way up to 40 but I’ll keep posting until I run out. I’ve made a collection of them so they’re easy to view and easy to find, and I’m uploading one a day.

One of the things I’m doing in my 40th year is taking some time off work (just time off, I’m not quitting my dream job!) to do some travelling and some writing about queer comics. I’m off to Europe at the start of September, then heading to the USA and Asia in the new year – so any travel tips or queer comics things I should know about, please let me know!
