The Gosh! Comics and Broken Frontier Drink and Draw In-Person returns for its sixth revived outing at our new venue of The Royal George on Friday, November 28th, 2025. And this time we have an ace artist line-up of John Allison, Lara Pickle and Mark Stafford.
Again, don’t worry if you’re not London-based, our online version still happens regardless. Our reborn “real world” event though continues the past tradition of rotating guest artists alongside our new artist-in-residence Mark Stafford. Co-hosts are BF’s Andy Oliver and Gosh!’s Will Humberstone. The evening starts at Gosh! at 6.30pm with the three rounds of themed drawing taking place in The Royal George from 7pm onwards. Please note: seating is limited and priority will be given to those who meet at the shop. Work from the featured artists will be on sale on the evening.

So onto our artistic line-up for November…
John Allison is the creator of the webcomic phenomenon Bad Machinery and its spin-off Giant Days, the latter of which won two Eisner Awards in 2019. He has worked with BOOM! Studios and Dark Horse, with his latest offering from the latter being the two delightful The Great British Bump-Off miniseries.
Lara Pickle is the writer-artist of the beautifully told graphic novel I Feel Awful, Thanks which explores themes of mental health awareness and self-care framed within a story of a young witch employed in a hostile working environment. The book was published by Oni Press.
Mark Stafford was a contributor to the 2016 Broken Frontier Anthology and is the Cartoon Museum’s artist-in-residence. He has been a frequent collaborator with writer David Hine including books like The Man Who Laughs and Lip Hook. His shortform work has been collected by Soaring Penguin Press as Salmonella Smorgasbord.
