Us Versus Thing
It’s The UK Web & Mini Comix Thing this Saturday and I’ll be there in Mile End selling my wares as usual – do come and say hello if you’re in the area. Alternatively, if you fancy a little comics rebellion, head over to Camden on Saturday where a gaggle of young upstarts will be running a rival stall in Camden Market. Fortunately, thanks to some fiendish political manoeuvring, I’ve arranged events so that my comics will be available for sale on the Camden stall as well. The cutthroat world of British comics ladies and gentlemen – it always pays to think two-and-a-half steps ahead.
Fallen Angel
Sorry the strip is up late. Drawing wings on all the angels in panel one took longer than I expected.
Hypno Kitten
I for one welcome our new feline overlords.

Raindrops
Science Week concludes! I’d like to think we’ve all learnt something useful today. Just not necessarily from this strip.
Herzogity
In which I say “er” a lot.
Point your inter-browser at these co-ordinates and you can now download the electrical podcast trickery of myself and Alex Fitch ruminating on the subject of comic periodicals and my own pathway into said medium. Huzah!
Oh, and because I mention it in the interview – Yes, I’m writing something else for Marvel at the moment. Don’t think I’m allowed to say what yet, but it’ll probably start appearing in a Marvel comic near you towards the end of the year. More news as it happens.

Robotic Resonance
Two bits of unrelated news linked by the letter R. First off, I just recorded a radio interview with Alex Fitch for London based Resonance FM. I’m convinced I blathered like a crazy person, but Alex assures me otherwise. I guess you can judge for yourself if you’re in London on Thursday and tune to 104.4 FM at 5pm. There’ll also apparently be a podcast of the interview available, so I’ll throw the link up for that as soon it goes live.
My second R of the day stands for Robots, the new anthology book from Accent UK which is now available for order via Diamond in good comic shops everywhere. I mention this because I’ve got a story in the book called Robot Heart about a guy with, well, a robot heart. Head over to the Accent UK site to see further previews from the other contributors. Looks to be a fun anthology judging from all the names involved and the work on display.
