Hello. Sorry.
Hello everyone. I owe you massive massive apologies for being so quiet for so long, I’m truly sorry. I see Skull is still getting pretty regular site views which is awesome (is that new visitors? I dunno), so i’m long overdue to explain what’s going on.
Skull is still happening. Of course it is. Of COURSE. There’s still book two to finish, and then the next four books to complete. There’s still so much story to tell, and I’m so excited to tell it.
Time is not being kind right now though. I had actually planned to take a week off over Christmas to start writing more Skull, but it just never happened. And it still hasn’t happened yet. Most of my week is taken up with drawing weekly comics for The Beano and The Phoenix, and I’m on deadlines for those so can’t mess about. Alongside it I’ve been trying to launch this new children’s comic, to breathe a little more life into the kids comics scene, called Moose Kid. And it’s so close to being ready, we have maybe 35 artists involved (and really, genuinely, flipping brilliant ones), just waiting for the last few to send their work in. Then finally we can launch. I need that to happen before I can get back to Skull, especially since the artists have been good enough to contribute their work to it.
Around that I finally completed edits on my first novel, which has taken about 3 years to do all in all. So, like Moose Kid, it’s been something I’ve needed to get done before I can go back to Skull. And I’m sorry to say Skull can’t take priority in my workload, it’s something I do for fun, not profit or future rewards. I’m interested in finding a publisher for it, but haven’t massively pursued that yet. There’s just this huge to-do pile, and doing that is just one of many ideas on there.
So, that’s where I’m at. Basically saying if you can wait a little longer, I’d really appreciate that. I’d hope we can start Skull issue 8 by summer, I just need to find some time, somewhere, and right now I can’t find any.
But thank you again SO much for sticking with Skull, it means a ton to me. And if you want to hear first when I’ve started on it again, i’ll blather about it on twitter @jamiesmart
Thank you!

Best of luck with all your projects!
I’m one of those views. You see, Skull is on my list of comics I go through every day. Summer? As I look out my window it’s snowing. GRRRRR. OK fine, Go do what you gotta do. I’ll wait. Please don’t forget about him. If you just let Skull end like this I’ll be pissed. Not that that matters. But I liked him.
Hey, you’re rammed! Skull is a gift from you to all of us. A beautifully hand-made gift. I once gave my mum her birthday pressie a year late cos I wanted it to be right. She was cool about it. So, I can wait. Do your thing. I’ll be checking back. xx
Cheers for the update 🙂
All of the above!
Gotta work to get those life tokens. Can’t eat hopes and dreams can you now.
Thanks for the great comic and can’t wait for the next installment.
Yes, I still check often.
I love Skull and I am jonesing at the lack of new. I am returning to the beginning to read again. Help me!
Has skull died for real now?… Half of summer is over and it doesn’t look like the vitamins are gonna bring him back this time. 🙁
Skull will be back later this year! Sorry sorry sorry guys, thank you for sticking with me, i’ll be starting working on issue 8 soon as possible 🙂
You need to implement a way to +1/upvote comments. Cuz you would get hella many upvotes.
Dear Jamie,
I bought a copy of Ubu Bubu at random, read it and went in search for more. Instead I found this. Its taken me less than a week to read all of it and now I’ve found that it’s on pause.. well..
Um..
…MY LIFE WONT BE COMPLETE UNTIL I FINISH THIS SERIES.
Please finish soon, also do you have Ubu Bubu merch? I can’t find any.
From your fan for just over a week.
me too
Could you do a little doodle or two of skull on a napkin occasionally so you don’t completely forget him? I’d love it if one of Shitpiss showed up on twitter.
Thanks for information 🙂
Still nothing?
Oh.
Ok.
