Apologies for having not posted in ages. I’ve been working on a Hippo-related project, which is nearly ready to be announced, but which is taking almost all of my art time.
Anyway, last weekend we went to a local exhibition of the work of Jeff Koons. One of his special tricks is to make giant sculptures which look exactly like they are made of shiny balloons, but are actually made of steel. The urge to reach out and touch them is almost unbearable.
A little doggerel for you.

Today’s comic stars a very young Itchy. Maybe this is how he became the way he is…

3. Itchy blows bubbles
4. Itchy drinks the mixture
5. Itchy's head turns into a bubble

Winter greetings to all my readers, and non-readers too. Wishing you all a happy and healthy year ahead!
I’m sending this Viva Monster to help Késia with her thesis defence tomorrow … wishing her lots of good luck!
Life imitates art. In the middle of inking this one I decided my ink brush was not up to the job. I refused to finish the comic until I got a new one. I think I must be a real princess.

3. I am a /real/ princess.
