Thought Bubble!

On my way to the Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds in an hour or two. I'll have a new comic for sale - Zoot! #2 - which will be available for mail order on this site next week, but this weekend will be its glorious debut. There's Fred the Clown and Fez shenanigans contained within, plus various other things to make a lovely comicky stew.

Also new on the Langridge table will be my son Thomas's latest offering, Pinkbeard the Pirate #2. He'll be there with me, tabling like a twelve-year-old (although, unlike me, he has the best possible excuse for doing so).

Last but not least, if you picked up a copy of Criminy this week - the new graphic novel by Ryan Ferrier and me - and you bring it along to the show, then I would be only too happy to sign that for you. Unfortunately I don't have copies myself, but it's out there, folks - it's out there!

Next week I'll post some sketches and commissions from the show. Watch this space!

Pinkbeard Versus the Incredible Fred

It was my son's eighth birthday earlier this week, so I made him his own comic, starring some characters he invented. The story makes a lot more sense if you know in advance that his hobby is making stop-motion animation movies with plasticine. Avast!

Pinkbeard Sketch

This is my seven-year-old's own character, Pinkbeard, Girl Pirate. I think it's brilliant, but then, I'm somewhat biased...

Pinkbeard Episode 1

The first in what may or may not be an occasional series, depending on whimsy and/or desperation. Pinkbeard was conceived by my seven-year-old son, an aspiring cartoonist in his own right, God help him.
