Cannot wait for these man the last bunch were quality!
Great to see ur stuff in my local newsagent in Sheffield
rather than just on my trips to Dub (usually read through bleary
eyes after a night out with the cousins).
Your stuff reminds me of the strips in 90s Britcomic Toxic
(not the current Toxic with Billy Piper etc in it!) which did a great job
of subverting me in my teens.
Vive le Bob

Blammo! Oh I’m such a heathen, I go on about how much I love silent comics but never heard of that Thomas Ott chap, just checked him out last night Cliodhna, brilliant stuff.

Luke stop going on to wikipedia and boning up on your comic history. You should be building Airfix planes.

Dec and Kyle, you gems, that comic is gold!! I’m going to post about lens flare and CS next week. God I have no life.

MK, had planned to go for a pint on my own last night but I forgot imaginefx to read then I realised I forgot that the twin pubs in Saggart are for FUCKING KNACKERS. In the bad way.

Sabotageeed,

This is why you sent me so much feedback for my would be futureshock submission, to squeeze me out.

May the dodgy twin pubs of Saggart consume your immortal soul!

Right, I’m gonna be the voice of dissent here and point out that the likes of Chris Ware, Daniel Clowes and Adrian Tomine couldn’t tell a lot of the stories they’ve told so well without dialogue or text. Or am I the only person here watching movies with the sound turned on as well? (Fuck, if I am I’m suddenly going to feel severely lowbrow, culturally speaking…)

I still think the best thing to come out of the whole Ban Comic Sans thing was that Achewood strip. “The disease is inside of you!”
