Welcome to Diagram Club
Hello everyone, and welcome to Diagram Club.
Diagram Club is the name of my cartoon newsletter.
For 2026: Diagram Club is in the Climate and Environment category. We’re going outdoors, with cartoons about walking, cycling, and current events.
A bit about me in case you’ve stumbled in: I’m a cartoonist from south Essex, UK. I’ve been drawing cartoons professionally since 2005, for a range of clients, including Cycling UK, Church Times, Greenpeace, the Guardian Online and too many others to name. I’m the author of various books, including ‘From A to B’, my hand-drawn manifesto for pedal-powered transport, published by Bloomsbury.
A bit about what you can expect from Diagram Club. I’m aiming for a newsletter once a week, when I can. The newsletter contains a variety of regular features, which will hopefully develop as we go on. I’m aiming for it to be fun, and interesting, and whatever else people would like from a cartoon-based newsletter.
At the core of Diagram Club are my new and existing diagrams on the following topics:
One. Diagrams about current events. A sample:
Two. Diagrams about cycling and sustainable transport:
Three. Diagrams about everyday life:
I’ll be sharing fully-completed work, sketches, scribbles, new drawings, diagrams from the archives, misc nonsense, and other bits and pieces.
You can join Diagram Club for free using the following button:
Diagram Club Paid
For those who’d like a bit more, and feel able to do so, there will also be a paid version, Diagram Club Paid, which gives you a kind of a back-stage pass.
Features of Diagram Club Paid include:
You’re helping fund the newsletter and new drawings.
You’ll receive extra content - a view behind the scenes, updates about what I’m working on, and suchlike.
I don’t make a big thing of this, but I’m happy for Paid members to reuse my work, found in the Diagram Library. Printing it, and you can use it online with a credit.
You’ll also be able to join the community: Comments and chat are reserved for Diagram Club Paid members.
Other benefits are entirely possible as I continue to learn about Substack and what it does.
I hope you enjoy being part of Diagram Club.
Here’s a big ol’ Subscribe button, if you haven’t already. If you have, I’ve no idea what you’ll see - I’m still learning the ropes.
App
Every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. But also there’s also an app, where you’ll find my posts and notes, and for Paid members the ability to post and read comments. And that kind of thing. I know, you knew that already. Get the Substack app.
