I write a comic called Zip, inspired by disability, and a @Cracked article. Illustration by @santiag34523089. na/unk. Issue 4 just prelaunched!

Zip issue 4 sees Pinstripe and Dogsbody experimenting with cosmic forces so that they can unlock one of the great mainstays of science fiction - time travel! And it's in prelaunch now.

Although I wrote Zip with disability in mind, but thinking about how superhero tropes would evolve as the subculture of a marginalized group, I took inspiration from other real-world protected classes to inform my world building. #pridemonth

@JasonKPargin My question is... you can just *get* chemically castrated if you choose to? That doesn't seem like the kind of thing which would be available over the counter.

@TheCinesthetic My dad, who died suddenly around 3 years ago, worked as a model rig technician on this film (and lots of other Aardman productions). Thanks for appreciating his work.

@NeilNevins These comments are straight up just making me want this game.

(Austin Powers game tutorial level)

Austin: Wait a tick. When’s the last time I opened my shag bag?

Basil: Good thinking, Austin! Why not press ⭕️ and check your inventory?

Austin: I do pride myself in pressing the right buttons, don’t I? YEAH, BABY.

@boolopez8 @heyarnoldshots It's easier to cope with being trapped in an abusive relationship if you don't have to do it sober. At least, it feels that way.

I've had it brought up to me in podcasts that a lot of British comics writers tend to be very edgy... so who do you think makes the edgiest comics? Americans, The British, or someone else?

Do you prefer collected graphic novels/trade paperbacks, or single issue comics/floppies?

You can get Zip in either format when you back our new issue!

Do you have an uncommon phobia, or something you're afraid of which no one else understands?

In our new issue, fears come alive.

This issue marks the finale of our first trade paperback collection, so Zip #5 will be available both as a single issue and as part of a graphic novel omnibus of all Zip stories to-date!

*Hits blunt* it's a good thing that Achillies died before skateboarding was invented, because I'n pretty sure if he knew what a laser flip was, he'd cry.

@_pcthug I'm picturing both of you talking *exactly* like this:

@Rankled_1 @MrAndyNgo @SamaramGill He sounded like he has a West Country accent. Britain has many region accents. Very few people here actually sound like that Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins impression Americans call a British accent.

I guess game development deserves a bit more attention than acting and hosting nature shows right now. 😄
