Latest news on the Thought Bubble convention in the UK

The Harrogate Advertiser wrote about the latest Thought Bubble convention in the area, since it moved locations:
Since Thought Bubble Comic Convention swapped Leeds for Harrogate in 2019, it has gone from strength to strength.

A week long celebration of comics, illustration and more spread across the whole of Yorkshire, it’s just seven days until the whole shebang culminates in a huge two day comic convention at Harrogate Convention Centre.

But Amy Bellwood, one of the directors of this legendary comic con, said the magic of Harrogate was built more than on just its excellent convention facilities. "Our international guest artists absolutely love coming to Harrogate,” she said.
No doubt, those international guests also include the "writers" who've effectively ruined mainstream comicdom in the USA. If Frank Miller loved coming to Thought Bubble, the Orwellian crowd there sure ruined it for him too, though if he never opposed their banishing in any way, he's obviously responsible for enabling their censorship to happen. That said, somebody tells here:
"Everyone can get together under one roof. [...]
Except anybody who's right wing, or even anybody who opposed Islam, as Miller did in Holy Terror, and then he made a farce of it all by retracting his earlier standings. As a result, I've found it hard to support him any further. Here's a bit more about what people are in attendance:
DSTLRY Presents: The Art of The Cover in which trailblazing international comic artists Emma Rios, Jock, Sweeney Boo, Becky Cloonan, Tula Lotay and Dani.

[...] Not only does it boast a huge array of big names from comic books but its ethos of representing that world in the all its many iterations shines through.
This "Boo" also worked on some pretty woke stuff at least 5 years ago, and again, let's consider that most of the creators in attendance are more or less leftists. I wouldn't be shocked if Chuck Dixon weren't invited, nor Mike Baron, and who knows if any leftists today still cherish his work on Nexus, for example? All the Thought Bubble convention's done is gone from strength to weakness.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
