Nothing Matters, Call in Sick

I was at Glasgow Zine Fair on the weekend. I bought plenty of zines and prints and badges and postcards, including this lovely one:

It’s by the awesome Holly Casio and depicts a toy from our shared childhood, one which may or may not be haunted. She sells it as a really nice print here.

It even has a nice “quit your job” postmark on the back:

Also spotted: I’m A Luddite (And So Can You!), by the mighty Tom Humberstone, to whom I was able to chat for a while. Funnily enough, he’s in the photograph I took of the room (at the top of this post), in the bottom-right. His comic is about automation and “the misunderstood history of Ludism” and can be read online in its entirety at The Nib.
