BIG NEWS ALERT! Thrilled to announce that I am working on my first graphic novel for children, a comedy fantasy adventure entitled HAMSTERS WITH HAMMERS, for Scunnered Ink. See me chatting more about it with @davidbaillie here: https://t.co/wskMmkhFxW

Hey hey hey, it's BEANO DAY! This week, Minnie the Minx finds a toy craze sweeping Beanotown, the Bash Street Kids try buddying up to Cuthbert, while Roger the Dodger plots a walkie-talkie dodge! Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam, Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby!

Did I, a 47 year old man, see this Sonic 2 Mega Drive cartridge that opens up into a little diorama of Emerald Hill Zone and immediately buy it? Yes, yes I did.

Massive thanks to Minnie the Minx artist extraordinaire @VictorianClam for organising this lovely message from @AlexHorne about our recent Taskmaster-based Beano story! Thank you both! (Plus my freeloading son even got a mention! 😆) #taskmaster

Did anyone spot King Charles rocking the Queen of Mischief’s crown in this week’s Beano? 👀 👑

Hey, chums! It's BEANO DAY! This week, Minnie the Minx has a drying dilemma, the Bash Street Kids take issue with their textbooks and Roger the Dodger touches grass. Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam, Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby! In shops now!

One of the joys of working on the Beano is playing with the comic's vast history. Here's a peek at next week's Minnie the Minx story, wherein Minnie dons her original outfit from her debut back in 1953. Art by @VictorianClam (and Leo Baxendale, of course!)

It's October, so you know what that means? Yes - the Beano Christmas Special is in shops now! It features a big Christmas Carol parody starring all the Beano faves. I've written Minnie the Minx, the Bash Street Kids and Roger the Dodger for it. Merry Christmas!

It's Beano Day! This week, Minnie the Minx rustles up some mayhem, the Bash Street Kids try some stunt work, and Roger the Dodger counts on another dodge! Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam, Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby! Out now!

Saw this year's Beano and Dandy annuals out in the wild, in WH Smith...er, I mean TG Jones. Celebrated by buying a Marathon bar. Er, I mean a Snickers.

It's Beano Day, gang! This week, the Bash Street Kids get ready for a game of football, while Roger the Dodger has some brolly bother! Scripts by me, art by Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby! In shops now!

Hopefully that's five points to us! 😆

My son was telling me that some kid in his school reckoned that I looked "about 50", which I almost took offence to until I remembered that I'm 47 next week, so fair play to that kid. Very astute.

PLUS! I also wrote this week's Bash Street Kids, Roger the Dodger, Billy Whizz AND Dangerous Dan! Whew! Art by Shannon Gallant, Barrie Appleby, Wayne Thompson and the @sharpbrothers!

I wrote a @taskmaster-inspired Minnie the Minx story for this week's Beano, including a cameo for Greg Davies and @AlexHorne! Art by the amazing @VictorianClam. It's in shops today, so go pick up a copy. Your time starts... NOW.

Had my subscriber's copy of the next Beano arrive today, which includes a #taskmaster inspired Minnie the Minx story written by me, with amazing art by @VictorianClam. Out Wednesday!

OMG! It's BEANO DAY! This week, Minnie the Minx tries to teach her dad some text speak, while the Bash Street Kids learn about money. Ker-ching! Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam and Shannon Gallant. In shops now! LOL!

It's back to school in Beanotown! Minnie the Minx tries a new look, the residents of the town enjoy some peace from the Bash Street Kids and Roger the Dodger sees a dodge bear fruit! Scripts by me, art (and cover art) by @VictorianClam, and Shannon Gallant and Barrie Appleby!

It's the grand finale of the Beano's big summer story this week! Who is the Creepy Crawler? Meanwhile, Minnie the Minx is still trying for a scout badge, while Roger the Dodger goes camping in style. Scripts by me, art by Shannon Gallant, @VictorianClam and Barrie Appleby!

These roundabout flags always look like a file hasn't loaded in properly

It's Beano Day, gang! This week traps are set in the penultimate part of our special summer adventure! Plus I've written Dangerous Dan this week, as he runs into an old foe! Scripts by me, art by @VictorianClam, Shannon Gallant and the @sharpbrothers! Cover by Nigel Parkinson!
