Happy 2010 everyone!

Hope we've all had a pleasant xmas break.

I am one of those lamoes that make resolutions, but the only one I'm willing to share is that I'm going to see a Bittern in 2010. It was last years resolution that never came true. Anybody else make resolutions?

Oops got to dash, the sleet is building up outside.

Chins up everyone!

Jusssssttt.........one....morrrrrrrre............daaaaattte

The key to cronic overeating at christmas is getting match fit beforehand.

October: increase calorific input, try small introductions of sugar and purine rich foods to get the gastric juices primed.

November: increase sherry consumption. Eat a sack of fudge. Start buying 'eat me' dates.

December: Should be able to cope with 3000 calories per day. by ~18th December you should be able to eat through that difficult 'gag reflex' boundary without hurling.

Happy Xmas everyone. I hope you've all had a good year, for me the highlights are getting Thomas Wogan published and Thought Bubble. What are yours?

2010 looms and there are some interesting anthologies on the way, more on that in the new year.

A tank of thank to Tabella publishing and John Freeman.

Godspeed everyone!

Little fat Grey Partridge in the snow

This partridge is very concerned about the effect snow will have on the UK economy, and all those lost school days.

Great Deeds 2

The second and final part of Rob Jackson's Great Deeds Against the Dead is out and available from his website. It turns out I was quite wrong in thinking I'd guessed the ending, no amount of time in a dark room would have brought this to my mind. A good read, follows on nicely from part1.

Gin Palace!

Rob Jackson is seeking contributors for his upcoming Anthology GIN PALACE, the deadline is Feb and it's planned to appear at the UK Comics Thing in March. There's no agenda, so you can let your imagination run riot.

Here's Rob's top smart cover, an interpretation of a painting by Manet. So far I've spotted a bog wizards character in the background and I'm sure there's more stuff hidden away there.

And he's accepted my offer for the back cover, the idea is to have text to the side of it.

Did I ever mention I did a book called Thomas Wogan is Dead?

More samples of Thomas Wogan can be found via here.

December Geoscientist

Here's this months offering, even more xmas gifts for Geoscientists. The last frame was inspired by some of the hilarious t-shirts on offer out there: Geologists make the bed rock, That's some Gneiss Schist, Geologist will work for BEER!

Titter.

I'm fairly proud of frame 3, and think there may be some genuine mileage in Piltdown: The musical. Opens in the west end next week.
