The Friday update will probably be delayed until Saturday, as I will be roaming around England and thus will not have much time for drawing. Apologies in advance if this is the case. But, you know, I hate you all.
I knew it. China is planning to kill us all with a home-made Optimus Prime.
We're going to die painfully.
Actually, it’s just a life-size reconstruction made out of scrap metal and car parts. *Phew* Okay then, crisis averted. But according to the article, it is exactly one foot taller than the movie model. I see, China! Trying to outdo us, eh? Don’t tell me that shit is an art project, I know that when the Americans built a thirty-two-foot-tall robot and you build a thirty-three-foot-tall robot, you’re just making sure you’ve got the biggest robot when the inevitable robotic duel begins.

New ones! Based on Twilight, which I think we can all agree is wretched, Conan, which I think we can all agree is manly, and Dark Crystal, because my friend Dan practically begged me to put it up. Actually, there’s no practically about it. Just check the comments on the previous comic post, you will see him literally begging.
Are we happy now, Dan?! I know I am. I’m touching myself right now. Oh yeah, I like that, don’t I bitch? Don’t even look at me, I disgust me right now; here’s some cab fare. And clean myself up.
I’m having some trouble combing out the bugs in the gallery, so if you have any trouble viewing the post-it movies, just right-click and select ‘view image’ or whatever.
My goodness, people. It’s finally happening. I think, against all odds, I’m starting to take my work seriously. It’s time to push the boat out and do something unexpected, something worthwhile. On March 27th, this the year of our Lord (Satan) 2010, I shall be keeping a table at the UK Web & Mini Comix Thing.
This is all because of my friend Freddy, the artist at Andy Panda, with whom I’ll be sharing the table (number 20, if you’re still looking for it on the floor map.) In addition to showing our faces and trying to plug our websites like the shameless whores that we are, we’ll also be preparing a 24-page black and white comic to sell on the cheap once we’re there. Also, sillly little photocopied flyers and scraps of example work. We’re glitzy.
I’m blogging my progress on the creation of my first full-length story, which I’ll be producing in traditional media (pen and ink in my case). It’s going to be a Dickensian romp around Victorian London with fat-free opium and entrepeneurial nuns. If you want to see how it’s coming along, click here.
Also, Fred and I invented the best game in the world while drinking at a pub. It’s perfect for any cartoonists out there, and the rules are simple:
1. Take a small piece of paper (A6 or so)
2. Divide it into quarter panels
3. The first player fills in the first panel with a drawing and dialogue, in under 1min and 30sec
4. The second player fills in the next panel, without delay, in the same time limit. Play alternates until you have a four-panel strip.
5. Keep drinking.
6. Repeat. Other player starts. Watch for declining coherence in the story.
7 ???
8. Profit.
Here is an example:
And another:
They’ll be getting their own webspace soon.
