Chapter:

Well, this is another comic as a result of Adam Murphy’s excellent comic class. We were given fifteen minutes and the text “the thatch above their heads” to make a comic. I redrew the whole thing over the weekend and had a play with some shading techniques Adam showed us a few weeks ago. Here’s the original, white-hot, off-the-top-of-the-head, 15 minute version:

(You may need to click to make it big enough to see.)

"Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in!"
"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!"
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!"

Chapter:

I’m hoping that I have now got some of this “mobile phone” stuff out of my system, technology lovers!

Cat woman! famous throughout the land! No matter how tough the situation, or what perils may lurk, cat woman would always rise to the challenge… her mobile signal was _always_ good.

Chapter:

While drawing this I felt inspired by the incredible surreal comics of Tori Miki (Miki Bird), in particular a book a picked up on a trip to Japan in the mid 90’s: “Any Place but Here vol. 2”. Being entirely free from text it was probably the only book in the shop I could have understood completely — except that some of the jokes still elude me! Recently I’ve spotted more of his work on Amazon.

Chapter:

This is another comic that I made at one of Adam Murphy’s excellent comic classes. We had only half an hour, so at Adam’s suggestion I took the plunge and drew directly in non-erasable ink — no backtracking! So please excuse the extra scrappiness of my drawing.

The theme of the class was hands, so we drew a hand doing something in the first panel and only then tried to turn it into a story.

Chapter:

I’m rather pleased with this one, despite the elephant having a total nervous and physical breakdown (I foolishly tried to make some changes during inking, but it all went horribly wrong.)

Oh yes, that reminds me, Karen planted 52 “things” today.

Jenkins, are you _sure_ you're qualified for zoological work?

Small Print

Chapter:

Small Print: this story is based on “The Wild Bride” which we went to see performed by Knee High at the Oxford Playhouse on Saturday night.

A poor farmer traded with the devil — a new suit of clothes in exchange for the contents of his apple tree. To his horror he discovered in the tree his beautiful but under-age daughter… which is when he called ‘You and Yours‘ for advice. We say, in contracts of this kind with diabolical forces there is no automatic 7 day cooling off period. So in future we recommend a more careful approach — remember the devil is in the details. Meanwhile Sue has been studying High Street Banking interest rates… Sue?
