Pigs on a Train Part 273

Well well well...

"For a story that, in no small part, unfolds in text messages, and grapples with the discontents of modern life, the visual aesthetic is pleasantly quaint and gritty, and the theme, timeless."

Pigs on a Train Part 272

Some people thought I'd forgotten about this. Others forgot all about it themselves. Although most have never even heard of it.

Buy my new graphic novel!

“It scores an acute awareness of one’s own lurking, inner Philip-ness.”

Was That Normal? by @avpotts.bsky.social @averyhill.bsky.social looks like one of those rare graphic novels that cuts straight into the weird, tender, uncomfortable mess of being a person.

Alex is doing the kind of work that makes everyday unease feel cinematic.

Was That Normal? - The Comics Journal Alex Potts’ latest graphic novel follows Philip, a forty-something, single, heterosexual man living in what appears to be Dover based on the white cliffs in one scene. There’s nothing remarkable about...

I was able to review @avpotts.bsky.social's WAS THAT NORMAL? (@averyhill.bsky.social) for @comicsjournal.bsky.social; Philip struggles to find connection, a problem made worse by his misguided perceptions of how everybody else's lives are so much better: www.tcj.com/reviews/was-...

The Comics Journal! Talking about my new graphic novel!

5 hours to go in our Kickstarter!!!

Tonight

Tomorrow

That's right, this is tomorrow

Last week, at the place where I'm working, the toilets on our floor were out of order, and now someone put the 'out of order' sign on the inside of the toilet door.
I see it on my way out, and every time I think that the world is out of order and I've got to stay in the toilet until they fix it.

This is on Thursday!

FFS this is riddled with errors

THE whole thing

It's whole thing

And when I say it's part 1, it's also part 2

Going to South Woodford to get some Sardines Part 1

Don't forget my book launch for Was That Normal on the 26th March

Oh man now I've got to go to Harrogate

I've got to remember that line about it being 'a tender, funny and deeply human book about introspection and human connection' for when people ask me what it's about

The launch of Was That Normal?

It's in less than three weeks now.

I'll be signing these (and one other that I didn't have to hand for the photo) and then you can buy them, and have a drink and all talk to each other and then go to the pub after. That's how these things work.
