Your site's coming together nicely, my friend!
I'll send you some of your old art next week when I have the advantage of works Broadband. I'm guessing you probably don't want to display the Primary School stuff eh?
Just sent you a new three pager. Look forward to seeing your artistic interpretation.
It's the highlight of my year to be working with you again. Welcome back, Stu! |

I adore your stuff. I'd kinda like it if these comics came to life, personified as a human being, so that I could marry it and make it happy forever. So, good work! 1 Reply [ Latest posted on December 14th, 2007 4:33 AM ]

Much appreciated.
Though I fear that if you were to marry any of my strips, it would lead to a very bitter divorce, and a custody battle for the deranged mutant children. |

Might be a while before I get the chance to do more comic scripts, due to the other big project we're all working on together (which is going very well indeed).
Should have more time free after Halloween though (as that's also the date for release of issue 2 of the 100% Biodegradable anthology I'm working on).
You and Stu Smith came along at just the right time, it seems. |

The Jesus Hates Zombies anthology seems to be shaping up nicely. I always enjoy the previews. You've marketed the series pretty well, and recruited some damn fine artists by the looks of things. |

Cheers, Dave.
Expect to see a lot more toons as the weeks progress, and hopefully a few new animations. Also keep your eyes peeled at Rokcomics.com, where most of my three panellers (plus a whole load of new stuff) will be appearing as downloadable mobile phone toons.
Let me know when the urge takes you to put together another Lost Property (I need my fix of Big Dog). |
