Comic book creator Becca Kubrick who has worked for the Cartoon Network, Nathan Love Studios and The National Trans Youth Network. has two new comic books out for Thought Bubble this coming weekend, Dead Girls and Meat 4 Burgers Two.

Dead Girls: Beach Day sees the characters from their original graphic novel pitch called Dead Girls with the same characters but this is just a chill slice-of-life one-shot (with some light zombie horror); basically it's a beach episode. They call Dead Girls a love letter (or death threat) to teen screams. After Thought Bubble, "it will be available from @ssbcpunk (and hopefully a UK retailer) after that."

And then the other is Meat4burgers 2. It's Becca Kubrick's art with Christof Bogacs writing.

They tell me "it's a fun little project we sort of brainstorm/create it together story wise but he writes the actual plot haha- it's about minimum wage jobs and existential horror." Been there, done that, and probably doing it again…

Thought Bubble is the UK's largest comic art festival; a week-long celebration of comics, illustration, animation, and more that culminates in this weekend's comic convention. Focused on those who create comic books, specifically the artists, and the writers, it is especially supportive of small press. The festival was founded in 2007 by Yorkshire artist, Lisa Wood, also known as Tula Lotay, and was organised as part of the Leeds International Film Festival to raise the profile of comics in the area. The first Thought Bubble was held on Saturday, 10 November 2007 in the basement of Leeds Town Hall and was attended by a couple of hundred people, but has grown a little since then. The convention originally ran throughout Leeds but, in 2019, due to issues with Leeds City Council and the need for more space, the convention moved to nearby Harrogate. And earlier this year, Lisa Wood stepped down from the role of director to be taken by Travelling Man's Nabil Homsi. This week's events are already underway and the convention begins on Saturday the 12th of November until Sunday the 13th of November. Bleeding Cool will be reporting from the show all weekend long. Do feel free to say hi!
