I was sitting in a cafe wondering about doing a new animation. I started this story-board* just to see what might happen. I like the basic idea but I can hardly bear the thought that the character has to go through all this whilst, erm, unrelieved.

*story-boarding — torturing your readers by showing them poor-quality stuff you just happened to draw in a cafe, when it doesn’t even have a proper ending.
I hope this one makes sense. In case you are wondering who they are, here are the stories with their Aarne-Thompson classifications:
Three Little Pigs – AT124
Three Billy Goats Gruff – AT122E
Three Bears – AT171
Three Blind Mice – Roud folk song index #3753

little pig: ...no, but seriously, wolves have these sharp teeth, and they're cunning!
billy goat gruff: yeah, but trolls - they are much more vicious, I mean...
daddy bear: excuse me - I couldn't help overhearing you, but the very worst are the little girls.

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:

"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!"

This is the comic I made on Wednesday evening at Adam Murphy’s excellent comic class. The title was picked at almost-random by Adam from a novel, and then we had a strictly limited time to conceive and draw a comic. We did a few in this way, with time limits ranging from leisurely 20 minutes down to frantic 2 minutes.
The comic above is my final effort of the evening, clocking in at 15 minutes, and goes to show just what you can do given a big fat pen, limited drawing skills, a puerile sense of humour and no shame. I think Terry Gilliam may have done this one before.

The woods and her white face
whilst there is a fair basis of fact for this comic, it is not strictly true to life. In particular, I didn’t sweep up the pepper while Karen stood and appreciated my unselfish contribution.

No!! I've spilt the pepper!

Achooo!
