Thought Bubble 2022

 This was the first event where I've been part of the Time Bomb tables, we had three (I moved my previously booked table next to theirs). 


It did feel a little strange not be good next to Colin, but there had been a few Cons before where we'd been split up due to the challenges of booking tables, so I was used to it a bit. And of course I had Steve Tanner and Gary Crutchley to wind up.

It really was great to be another Con, after an absence due to an illness I've suffered and not being able to drive meant having to take taxis and trains, but it was worth it.

The Halls were full of great looking comics from very talented people. Some I know and many I don't. It was great catching up with people I've collaborated with in the past and to make a couple of contacts for future collaborations.

On Saturday we had Ian Ashcroft at the table with us, selling some of his original art and copies of Kia, and it was really good to get time to discuss issue 4 with him. Yep, we'll be cracking on with that in the new year.

Having three new titles on the table was a new experience for me, but all sold very well. Lots of people coming back for latest issues as well as new readers buying the full sets. 

Evening meals were relaxed, once we'd found somewhere that could fit us in, and we discussed a lot of future projects, exciting times ahead. Great to catch up with Colin and Scott on Saturday night, where despite there being no burgers Scott really enjoyed his meal :o)

Sunday was quieter than Saturday, as these things tend to be, but we still did very well.

All in all another very successful show for us and one where Steve and Gary actually seemed to get on...



 Looking forward to next year's Con already.
