Thought Bubble’s deputy director Martha Julian said: “We want to thank every single person who made it down to Thought Bubble Comic Art Convention. It was, quite honestly the best convention we have ever done, with more people through the door than our first time in Harrogate in 2019. We can’t wait to get cracking with on next year’s convention. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
