Your Round
Just finished up a 6 page story for a new anthology called Your Round. It’s been published by clamnuts regular Dec ‘Fishburger’ Shavley. From him:
Your Round is an anthology series set in a pub. Any pub. Everybody has a pub story, Your Round is where creators can tell one. The first issue, ‘Tequila,’ has 3 stories. One by Mike Collins (artist on Doctor Who, Superman, Star Trek, etc.), another by Bob Byrne (of Mbleh, The Shiznit and 2000AD fame) and one more by myself.
My contribution is a real life story from 1998. A crazy night that really did change my world view. I think Dec is getting a site together for it. Also, lissen diss: Vote for his comic HERO KILLERS in the Eagle awards or else I’ll scweam and scweam and scweam. Come on lads he’s a good mate he deserves some props. It only takes a minute girl. It’s in the Best Black and White British (ha!) Comic category. You don’t have to vote on everything. Vote here
Ps. Vote for Sancho and Matt Smith for best editor (2000AD). That man has great taste.

Bob, commendations on all the Shiznit’s so far. I like the cut of your jib. Keep up the good work.

Thanks peeps. Nah Physh its a font called Fiction or something. Hand lettering? PA-SHAW! I scoff at the thoughts of hand lettering.
Thanks Matt, tried to leave a comment on your site but it keeps bouncing. Pitman mix is deadly. Listened to it out the back on Saturday with my top off like a knacker

Lookin’ good Bob, artwork looks a slight bit different to your usual style.
Any word yet on when the first Twisted Tales will appear in 2000AD, by the way?

Yeah tried a different style for this one Kyle. I’l put up a page soon. Twisted Tales….no idea. I assumed it was happening last week but Tharg moves in mysterious ways

Ah, I thought you’d mentioned something along those lines. Might just be me local shop hasn’t had it in yet, was looking at the weekend but didnt see it.

Shit. Don’t know what’s up with the site. I’ll have one of my VinylCorp staff check it out.
Pitman is hilarious. I trust you had the decency to tie your top (Paco Rabanne knock-off I hope) around your waist in true knack fashion.

[...] That spelt right? Condundrum? Had the files open yesterday of the cover because I was doing an ad for Your Round. Still haven’t settled on a cover design for Mr. Amperduke so I scooped up 6 possibilities. None of these are by any means finished but it gives a fair idea of what I’m thinking. Which way to put the Lego block facing, how much blood, which colours etc. I fucking hate designing. Really I do. It’s gay. There’s just too many options. Can we not just go back to Fuzzy Felts? I’ve worked as a ‘designer’ now for years and still find it a massive pain in the toast. [...]
