A new review of an old comic

 The great Gareth Brookes (whose new book The Black Project is out soon from Myriad Editions) reviews my first comic on Make 'em Squirm at his Appalling Nonsense site.


Some additional information, as Gareth has an incomplete edition : The comic was called Kartoon Cuts and came out in 2004. It had a cover and 4 colour pages in the centre. I was getting my b/w photocopying done at Punker Bunker in Brighton and I was sneaking back into my old university to print the covers. Then I would fold it all by hand and staple it at a community resource centre. But one time the b/w interior pages were folded and stapled together by mistake. I ran out of copies of Kartoon Cuts a long time ago, but I still had those incomplete b/w versions and took a few with me to comics fairs, etc. The cover can be seen at the bottom of this page.  The back cover strip was a comics version of Terminal Preppie by The Dead Kennedys and is here on the Stool Pigeon site.

Zu spät!

Every now and then I have a go at the single panel cartoon. It's really hard to get right!

Wednesday

A DownTown Christmas

The latest DownTown strip for The Stool Pigeon. I had to pull an all-nighter to get this finished for the deadline. By 6.30 am I was falling asleep at the desk. I had to rest then for 40 minutes. Got back to work after taking Eddie to the nursery at 9.30. Tiredness caught up with me in the late afternoon and I took another rest after Eddie went to bed at 7pm. Ended up falling asleep and missing the monthly Comics Stammtisch at the Renate.




More DownTown strips are collected on the 'Down Town, etc' page, which is to be found in the menu above.
