More Cards
Where’s Amperduke? Where’s Shiznit 5? How do you get jizz stains out of a Communion dress?
These are the questions I am constantly bombarded with. So here’s the beefio, I’m busy with other shit. I’m now working 5 days a week and have a bunch of paying gigs and favours to do. I usually could squeeze an hour here and there in work but lately I’ve just been doing non comic work. Don’t draw as much during the week too as real life tugs at my sleeve, But fuck it, I’m happy.
So Amperduke is completely drawn, the delay is working it all into book form. The cover is a nightmare but I think I’ve nailed it. The launch is mid Janurary. Cover price is looking to be 15 EURO.
So here’s some of what’s eating into my precious dossing time in work.
My boss and dear friend Paul. Uncanny likeness drawn from memory. Uncanny.
Another workmate had a kid a week after Paul.
And a robot for good measure

Who gave birth to the robot?
Glad things are goin smoothly. Fuck it, Amperduke’s done, it ain’t goin anywhere. People have waited a while, another monyh or so won’t kill them.

Back when I was doing mini comics I just walked into FP and asked the manger- it was grand once you had a receipt book. I think they took a small cut too. But I was making a loss on then any way so it didn’t really matter! The problem was that most mini comics usually ended up shoved somewhere where no one would ever see em

WHA? New Twisted Tales is out?? Gotta go see that……
The cards take about 45mins to 1hr.
Hey Hurkuloid, long time no speak. Yep, you have to approach each FP individually and pester them. Certain branches dont even consider taking small press/self published stuff but give Joe Gordon the lad who runs the FP blog a shout. Top bloke who appreciates good work.
If you do get in, as PMC sez, get a reciept book and factor in that they take a third of the cover price. And yes, Mr A will be available to the UK, prolly just through me for the first few months though.
