Kick the Cat
Made this when Corel Painter was new and exciting. Ah it still is really. Havent got the new version which has a Divine Ratio tool and some great new bits. I’m so ignorant that I never heard of that theory until I saw it in Painter.
This Kick the Cat was for a collection of the comics that appeared in the rose tinited, wasn’t everything better during the Blitz, piece of over-rated gick free sheet aka The Slate.
I think the textured paper is akin to using lens flare now in terms of entry level dicking around with a new programme
Mew.

Haha! Never knew you did Kick the Cat…you can badmouth the Slate but until the Shiznit liberated comic-ignorant people like me, the Slate was all we had man….

The slate was fuckin funny man. I liked Gavs strips in it, but overall the magazine was good too.

I didnt do KTC, it was Gav Beattie. This was just for the collection where he got other artist to draw a version.
Neh, The Slate was patchy, had some absolutely classic gags but when you sift the issues you’ll see that the ‘everything is shit’ attitude is too easy and the content wasn’t always good. Plus they burned the printer which I think is bang out or order. But hey, it was good all in all and way better than Mongrel.

Very true, Mongrel aint the best, burned the printer eh? Th sucks.

Just to answer Cliodhna’s question… The Slate (far as I remember) was a free mag (I THINK mid-90s), mainly challenging Irish culture. Made mainstream news a couple of times, for things like their ‘Blacks in the Jacks’ cover, and an article de-demonising (if thats the word) paedophiles…

cheers Bonzo, I lived in the arse end of no where for the most of the ’90’s so I guess it never made it down my way

Not quite the 90s- Blacks in the jacks came out when I was in college, Ithink around 2002/3- still have it, hillarious.

hmmm if it was 2002/3 then I was in new york…wasn’t BrenB’s antholgy comic out round that time? Toe Nail Clippings was it called?

Yeah the Slate was after TC. It should be noted that I really digged The Slate and hounded them to publish my stuff but nobody can seen to admit that it just fizzled out dramatically.
Moo, that pic haunted my wet dreams. To ride a Lego block…….phwoar.
