I created this to help explain the COVID-19 disease in my local area (Melbourne, Aus). It’s adapted from government health info (Department of Health, 16 Mar 2020). If you think it would help you, you’re welcome to use it; download A4, poster and socmed versions here. Medical knowledge and government policy on this disease changes …
I wrote (and drew) a piece for The Guardian about the Church of Scientology, and specifically its Ideal Orgs — over time, they’ve been replacing their standard “org” buildings with larger, fancier ones. I talked to Scientology critic Jeffrey Augustine about why this is happening, and explored why Los Angeles has been so important to …
Subscribers to my mailing list (you can join at right) just got an essay about the interesting stuff I got to do while taking part at NCS Fest. It included interviews and research for my next big comic. It was busy and fun. You just get the photos! Put together your own story about what …
My new comic can be read online now. It’s called Free Money, Please. I spent several months working on it — including a lot of interviews and transcription!
It’s similar style-wise to the story #takedown from a few years ago, in that it’s me meeting and speaking to people about a topic I don’t like much.

People who’ve read it have compared the tone to a Louis Theroux doc, which I’m taking as a massive compliment as I’m a fan of his work.
You can read Free Money, Please two ways: at Medium or at zco.mx.
zco.mx is a brilliant platform for reading comics on any device, plus you can download an ebook from there, and even chuck me a couple bucks if you like the story.
Medium is a nice reading experience too, but all you can chuck me are “claps”. Please do that if it suits you.
Thanks to my interviewees for this story — Gregory Mowle, Kylie Hammond, and a few people who will go unnamed…

For Free Comic Book Day this year, I thought I’d put my 2015 book #takedown up to read for free on zco.mx. I went along to see a “professional pickup artist”, Julien Blanc, speak. While we waited, I talked to the men wanting to see him and the protesters who wanted him shut down. He …
