Count Curly Wee

Was talking to Brian last week, bitching and moaning about the hassle of making the Shiznit and that it’s always a surprise to see which stories are hits. ‘Any Bread’ in issue 4 was been a runaway success even though it’s just an old joke retold. Without dumping on the readers I think it’s true that the most straight forward gags go down the best.

We both agree that this one is our favourite yet the least commented on or understood by the kids. It’s a good comic but I think most people have never even heard of the original Count Curly Wee. It’s a SHITE old Black and White 2 panel comic thats been running in the Independent for years. For years I’d glance at it and say ‘Ah…a comic’ and then be left confused and angry with it.

I drew this the first week of discovering the scratchboard tool in Painter 9. Phwoar, nice swooshy ink. Brian squeezed a ton of digs into it too, GAMA, The Slate, Irish Ferries and all. I love this comic. Still haven’t pdf-ed issue 3 so it hasnt been posted online before.

PS. Fuck The Slate. Stop talking about it.
