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.

Big thanks to everyone who backed our biannual Kickstarter. The campaign is over now, but you can still pre-order Issue 18 in our online shop.
