BLOG : WEBBLEDEGOOK
inkyBlog

This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.

Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!

ANGOULêME 50
Tue 31 Jan 2023

This year saw the 50th anniversary of the Festival de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême, just known as Angoulême to most comics folk, the town where publishers and creators alike gather annually for one of the largest comics festivals in the world.

I've only been once, a very memorable trip back in 2014, but The Beat has included my brief views as part of their Angoulême Memories piece, including some who have been nearly 40 times (such as Paul Gravett).

For a trip down (my) memory lane you can read my blog report from the time here.

NEW BRAMBLETYE BOX STRIPS
Mon 9 Jan 2023

Just in case you haven't checked for a while, there have been a few new Brambletye Box strips put up over Christmas and the new year.

Progress has not exactly been zooming along, but it is being made, even while I'm having a very busy January with other work (I'm doing a lovely project at the moment with the Museum of London - I'll show some when I can).

Don't forget you can help support and encourage such progress by joining my Julius Chancer Patreon page, if you're able to. Thank you!
