Broken Frontier

You'll have had this from our TB pals but we'll pin it here too! Thought Bubble @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social Month 2026 is Coming to Broken Frontier – Here’s All the Information You Need to Submit Comics for Review or Secure a Potential Interview. www.brokenfrontier.com/thought-bubb...

Shifting back and forth between extreme guilt about not being able to keep up with all the communication with folk about Thought Bubble stuff and more pragmatic moments of “How much more could I actually be doing?” reason.

This one seems to have slipped between the cracks today in terms of reposts and likes. Please check it out. It’s a lovely piece of experimental comics symbolism.

What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

One of the sloppers has said they’re not necessarily looking for a positive review, they’d just like an “honest appraisal.” And oh my dear, deluded fellow you really, really don’t. See these words I own? It would be almost cruel of me to unleash them on you.

There was a guy last year who came to my table and bought a copy of "Under Pressure" because he saw the review on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social and, quoting: "they are never wrong". This is definitely one of the books I am most excited to get at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year.

Now that I'm out of the MCM haze, can I gush over this delightful review for STARDATE?! "Aviram and Or make a seamless team on Stardate, both know how to tell a funny, satirical story full of some truly oddball characters." Can't wait to spread these around at Thought Bubble!

We are not at home to the Slopper family, or any of their extended social circle, here at Broken Frontier Towers.

This! It is *so* hard comparatively to get reposts for reviews and interviews on this platform. And we are sharing so many wonderful projects.

We’re now at 20+ Thought Bubble Month review requests from people who aren’t actually exhibiting at TB but are trying to sneak things past us knowing it’s our priority right now. 15 of them are AI sloppers and honestly you can’t expect better of that lot. But the rest of them? Disappointing.

Broken Frontier’s very positive review of John of the Night.

Anyway, there's a link in my review above to buy it. Great stuff from Alchemise Theatre and Long Covid Kids. Art by #BF6toWatch artists @aliceurbino.bsky.social and @zhenyizheng.bsky.social. Important we remember all the really important community initiatives in comics and their positivity.

Sitting in the online launch for the LONG COVID SUPERHEROES!: A COMIC MADE BY KIDS WITH LONG COVID comic on Zoom and what an inspirational way to spend a Monday evening. The kids are all here (in their costumes!) talking about the comic and their experiences. www.brokenfrontier.com/long-covid-s...

It felt like Picross answering these questions (and I love Picross). I hope I make sense, saying my work is autobiographical without it being autobiography.

Whoops! I've confused people with a post I think! A coupla days back I quoted myself from an e-mail I'd sent out to the first prospective 2027 Broken Frontier Six to Watch-ers and now my DMs here and on Facebook are full of enquiries about how to apply.

Thanks! original @brokenfrontier.bsky.social review is ere.... www.brokenfrontier.com/ghost-storie...

Just a reminder that if we're prepared to put Art Spiegelman on the "No Coverage" list for using AI slop we can sure as hell put anyone on it. Zero tolerance means *zero* tolerance.

It's like they're talking about using a can opener, and not shamelessly stealing other artist's work! Get the fuck outta here.
