SouthPark is shit. If you’re going to be in this cult you have to give up SouthPark and coffee enemas. Devo hats are a possibility. Tell Paddy my clamnuts mail is spamalot castle and I’ve prolly missed them, use the yahoo one.

The Cult of Bob? Awesome stuff, I reckon members should have to make their own Devo-style hats and perhaps a facemask as well, as per some of the Mbleh! stuff.

Yo! Cheers Eoin, haven’t actually seen it yet but it was read over the phone to me. Your comment was marked as spam but I found it. Now my hands all smelly, it’s like reaching into a bin.

Paul I like those comics and al the other ones, proof indeed that good writing more than makes up for lame art. But not for SouthPark, that is painful to look at AND hear.

Won’t be going to the comic mart thing, where’s it on?

Man, between Cyanide and Happiness and XKCD there’s all the proof you could ever need that funny comics don’t need to be drawn well…

Bob. Go onto http://www.explosm.net

Its a daily (poorly drawn) webcomic site. I dont know if you’ve seen it before. Sometimes the site I just gave brings you to a completely differant site. If it does simply google ‘cyanide and happiness’ You wont be dissappointed. Its hilarious.

From the Sunday Tribune, the article “Unusual Suspects : The New Irish Cult Heroes”;

THE KING OF CARTOONS - BOB BYRNE
When the history of Irish comics is written, we’re hoping Bob Byrne does the drawings. The nation has produced any number of top cartoonists but Irish-produced comic books are still struggling to make their presence felt - they tend to be hit-and-miss affairs.
Then there’s the strange and beautiful work of writer/artist Bob Byrne, whose recent graphic novel Mr. Amperduke raises the bar for Irish comics forever. A wordless wonder of demented genius, Mr. Amperduke is the kind of audacious labour of love we’ve come to expect from Byrne, after his self-published free comics The Shiznit and MBLEH! wormed their way into the hearts (and pockets) of many discerning Dubs. With an acclaimed children’s book - Robot’s Dony Cry - on the shelves and a high-profile stint doing “Bob Byrne’s Twisted Tales” for venerable Brit comic institution 2000AD in the bag, the Cult of Bob is growing daily.
And he’s just been nominated for an Eagle award (the comic book Oscars). Check out his work http://www.clamnuts.com

So, how do we join this “Cult of Bob”, eh?
There’s also a photo of Bob’s ugly fucking mug slap bang in a collage of Ireland’s Cult Heroes, hahah.
