20211209 Just Itchy in Itch Goes Too Far

Dec10
by on 2021-12-10 at 15:32
Chapter:

Gosh, it’s been a long time. I’ve forgotten how to do all these little steps, so I hope it all comes out in the end.
Google tells me that the email subscription service is (or has already?) come to an end, so if that’s the way you subscribed so far it won’t work in the future. RSS should still work, and for example I use feedly.com for reading content like that.

↓ Transcript
1. Itchy, centre stage: "I am a master."
2. Reaches over face and pulls: "of"
3. Reveals cat face: "disguise!"
4. Reaches again and pulls.
5. Now he's an elephant-head. Quite small! Reaching over...
6. Now he's a tiny giraffe-head, reaching over...
7. Now he has a very very small head, a little animal we can't identify.
8. Reaches over and POP! the head comes off: "Oops! Too far as usual"

2016-04-06 Jazz Kitchen Menagerie

Apr07
by on 2016-04-07 at 12:08
Chapter:

Another evening of music, this time the Jazz Jam at Oxford Jazz Kitchen. It was very crowded, so from the back I had a restricted view and had to make up quite a lot to fill the scene. It’s still fairly accurate, I reckon. Karen got up and performed the saucy “Kitchen Man” to an enthusiastically fast drum-beat, but managed to keep her cool and stay in the groove.

↓ Transcript
Jazz gig, with tenor sax, guitar, string bass, hippo on bass, bear on drums and giraffe on vocals.

2015-11-27 Urban Hunter of the Urban Jungle

Nov27
by on 2015-11-27 at 20:51
Chapter:

I created this comic as my entry for a competition.  I didn’t win, so now I’m free to share it with my readers!  To make it easier for most people, I’ve translated it out of the original Latvian into English.

[Art note: I decided in this case to use vector graphics (rather than my usual rough sketches and bitmaps) — which was interesting, being simultaneously liberating (let the computer do the work) and challenging (the need to make definite decisions on line position).  Thank you inkscape.]

p2p3p4p5p6p7p8

↓ Transcript
The urban hunter explores the urban jungle, ants, bees, elephant, hippo, rhino, giraffe, zebra, lion, wildebeest and the odd human commuter.

Chapter:

Well, it’s been a while, sorry. Nice to see Noah again, and then I found that a pair of hippos had crept in to this comic too.  Probably they came just to communicate with their cousin. I have no idea what that pair leaning out of the porthole are.

 

↓ Transcript
Noah: Get gopher wood, he said. Get tar and pitch, he said. Take two of each animal, he said. Didn't bloody say nothing about bringing change for the meter.

The panel they said couldn’t be done. Itchy and Knee as you’ve never seen them before. Don’t miss this thrilling episode of The Family Tayberry.

↓ Transcript
Subtitled "Part 18: The Harvest Home!"

Itchy and Knee appear as monks in pseudo renaissance / medieval trompe l'oeil room, with a tayberry hunt and annunciatory cherubs blowing trumpets and flutes. Anachronisms abound. Itchy bears the single tayberry on a golden cushion. Knee awaits, with a carving knife and fork to receive the berry. Is Itchy safe?
