Welcome to the Compact News digital blog

Compact News used to exist as a zine, widely distributed across the shelf by the window at Coffee Evolution in Huddersfield (click HERE for virtual facsimiles of early editions – turn the pages with the click of a mouse!)

Anyway, I can't be bothered with all that anymore, it's time consuming, costs money and the staff at the printers poke fun at my drawings, so I've created this live digital Compact News service in its place.

Cheers!
