Happy new year! After a seven-month break, Solver returns on Monday for what I hope will be a full year of adventures. My first job is to complete and publish volume 2, with the Wobbly Head saga making up the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
SOLVER is back back back! And so is Dean Thompson. But following the events at Wobbly Head (you may wish to refresh your memory on part 4), he seems to be a man in deep turmoil. Clippy can help. Clippy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s good to see the old friends back together. Time has passed very slowly in Solver. Lottie arrived in Sheffield in September (in 2022), and it’s now November. This glacial pace wasn’t intentional, but it’s good to acknowledge it. Scary[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I wonder how many appearances in my comics Bobby Problems will rack up. He’s immediately compelling. I think history (and bitter experience) tells us that it will either be one, or one thousand.
Christmas comes early for Charlotte, she’s found her perfect problem person. And Christmas will come early for you too, dear reader, as due to a terrible accident of scheduling, the Solver Christmas story will run in the early summer. If[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
