I did some development work on that, ahead of the pitch to Carlton. Didn't realise its existence was ever general(ish) knowledge.
So... earlier this year, Peter and Daniel of the Young Indy Chroniclers podcast dug up an old relic, dusted him off and put him in front of a microphone to talk about the Young Indiana Jones strip he wrote back in the late 20th century and it's now available via the podcast purveyor of your choice.
Economy-sized congrats, Andy!
Agents, synchronise watches (Omega Seamasters, of course).

Richard Scarry! I read my copy of Busy, Busy World until the spine came apart.
Had a great time at Develop Brighton, meeting and talking to so many people taking creative approaches to the ongoing pressures within the industry.
And, as a non-Brighton resident, I appreciated IO Interactive's approach to ensuring guests knew where their post-conference mixer was taking place.
Are you sticking around for Develop?
"I'm not a human being." When Tom says it, you believe it.
Really looking forward to Develop Brighton - my first visit - next week. Any/all pro-tips and/or recommendations for the best coffee or cocktail places gratefully received.
Purvis and Wade are waiting by the phone...
Like one of those explosions in Thunderbirds. "Call International Rescue."
Felt like an ancient artefact being unearthed to talk to the Young Indy Chroniclers about my second professional job: a weekly Young Indy newspaper strip written by me, drawn by the much-missed Phil Gascoine for the Daily Telegraph back in distant pre-history (1990, actually).
And before that, he wrote the original James Bond mini-series, Silent Armageddon and Shattered Helix...
Delighted, excited... but most of all grateful to be part of the small but perfectly formed writing team on this.
If you think this looks good, you ain't seen nothing yet. Buckle up. It's time to earn the number.

Happy trails. Would be nice to catch up over coffee when you get back.
Because some bright spark thought 2024 wasn't dystopian enough already...
Use the templates. Write to your MP, to your reps (if you're rep'd) and directly to the consultation. Links to templates in the original (excellent) thread.
This costs you zero, Amazon pays for the tip, so make sure you do it after every delivery. Just search “thank my driver” on the Amazon app
Helloooo!!
Writing on a game again after years away writing animation, TV and film. Before that, I wrote comic books and fiction.

Followed!
Proved you could do Batman with humour... and heart.
Enormously sad news. Comics have lost an immense and singular talent. Ian's family, of course, has lost much more.

And me after Marvel UK collapsed in '95.
And me after Shane the Chef in 2018.
