2014-03-03 Itchy & Knee in “2B”

Mar03

Chapter:

Again, drawing on my tablet, this time using the Autodesk SketchBook Pro app for Android for drawing and colouring each panel. However, I resorted to Gimp on my desktop machine to make the composite.  I’m still looking for the perfect comic-making app.

↓ Transcript
Itchy and Knee play on the swings and roundabouts. In their usual style they play too hard, and go flying. After a near-miss in mid-air they manage to land safely, if awkwardly, on the still swinging and spinning rides, having now swapped places with each other. Caption: The swings and roundabouts of outrageous fortune.

ta daa!

We went to visit the new exhibition at the Ashmolean on Saturday — Henry Moore and Francis Bacon. I had fun trying to draw the sculptures, and I hope some of the sculptural drawing technique may have rubbed off into this comic.

2013-08-04 Shower

Aug06
by on 2013-08-06 at 00:00
Chapter:

Our Bed and Breakfast hosts, during our little jaunt to the South coast, were at pains to point out that the shower drain is not blocked, simply slow; and that we could regard the water sloshing around our toes and ankles as a relaxing foot-bath at no additional cost. However, by the time I’d finished washing my hair I was worried to observe that the water level was just above the top of the shower tray.

↓ Transcript
Guests Please Note:
The shower drains a little more slowly than is usual.

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?
