Scarily We Roll Along

Today I have a strip up at http://www.scarygoround.com/! It's a rare honour, and something I couldn't have achieved without my brilliant partner, my 'art-slave', if you will, Chris Gould, whose website is here. He's a talented lad, too talented to work with the likes of me. And yet very soon we will be launching our own, top-secret comic venture on the world! Now if you don't mind I have to go and put a giant poultice on my head to get the swelling down.

Oh, I suppose John Allison had something to do with it too.

More updates very soon about important things, like the fact that I seem to enjoy marmite now, and my failed attempt to repair our garden gnome. Also I got married.

Gets me every time.

NINJAS!

Update number 4: I've also co-written the Honourable Ninja Farm series of short cartoons on Weebl's Stuff. I put these together with Jonti Picking and the amazingly talented Jennifer Upton and they were animated by the genius creature that is Drewmo. You can see them for yourself, you don't need to read my inadequate textual description of them! Ah, the wonders of this internet thing.

Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3

SHRIMP! I mean, PRAWN!

Update number 3: A recent project for Weebl's Stuff has been the epic picaresque point and click adventure known as Prawn To Be Wild. Thanks to T-Mobile I worked with Jonti, Jen, Phil and Peabo to create what is basically the Count of Monte Cristo with arse jokes. The final part hits this Friday, but here's all the previous chapters:

PIGS!

Update number 2: My other big project this year was the recently announced Pinky and Perky comeback series for Lupus Films. Appropriate for the year of the Golden Pig. Any fears about this being a Poochy style 'skateboards and people saying dude' revamp should be disspelled by actually watching the show, which, as with anything script-edited by Alan Gilbey, is funny and filled with well-rendered characters. This won't be seen until the end of 2008 so plenty of time to sell all your possessions and buy a TV so big you can make out every 3D-rendered pore in their beautiful pink faces.

CAT!

OK, update number 1: Frankenstein's Cat is out of the bag and is apparently going down a storm in France. It's UK debut isn't far away and what I've seen of the show blew my socks off. Seriously. I had to go and get my socks, they had blown a hole in the wall, killed a couple of people. I tend to wear a rather thick argyle weave, and...

Anyway, watch out for the show, I'll probably post more soon...

Kitted out

I've already mentioned Kit Whitfield's brilliant novel, Bareback (now available in paperback form, buy early and often) but Kit's blog on her website is actually equally good value. She talks about getting published, about story structure and just about ideas and interests in general. It's always well written, with chunky in depth posts that are both charming and thought provoking.
Makes you sick, doesn't it?

Aaagh! It's The Mr Hell Show on DVD! Sorry for shouting.

Yes, the whole series is finally available. This show was a total delight to work on and offers a small army of quality gags sticking their hobnailed boots into your brain. I wrote a lot of sketches but my big contribution was all the Serge the Seal of Death stories. There's only so many times you can write 'And then the seal kills everyone with two huge guns' before you start to worry.
Sell your kids and buy a copy. Although when you do sell them you'll probably get more than the cover price of one copy (unless you have really low quality children), so you could use the proceeds to buy one for everyone you know! Or a better car.

And if you have no children, now's the time to think about it, because the market for child trafficking is great, and you never know when the going rate will dip.

...what was I talking about?
