  • My father ‘shows his appreciation’ for whatever food he’s eating. That, of course, is lovely, but he does so by beating the shit out of the container to ‘get hold of every last bit’. He is, however, a scraper across his food spectrum. Pans - scraped, plates - scraped (including the ingestion of some porcelain, by the look of things) and any item that has had food on or in it - licked, if he thinks nobody is watching.
It’s alright until it gets to the point of being loud enough to interrupt conversation and rupture eardrums.
Disclaimer - I don’t hate my father. Nobody hates him, that’s physically, mentally and probably logistically impossible. Nicest man on the planet. Bastard.

  • No time for a comic today, so instead you’re getting the annoying woman from the flea market who wandered past me and muttered ‘gauche’. Granted, probably not at me, but still, bitch.
Her dog looked really fed up.

  • TO THOSE OF A SENSITIVE NATURE: THIS COMIC CONTAINS A NIPPLE.
So this morning my bath, through some strange arcane process, decided it didn’t want me to drown. I slipped, head underwater, sloshing it about all over the place, then almost as soon as I’d registered my impending doom I was back up in the same position again. ALL THROUGH THE POWER OF WAVES.
I’m thinking of starting a religion centred on my bath and its watery benevolence.
ALL HAIL THE GREAT WHITE TUB.

  • Today’s comic - I don’t know about where you are, but for the 16th of May it’s really bloody cold. Near winter-levels cold. We’re too stingy to heat a big house (one of the reasons we’re selling - it’s beautiful but huge) with only two people at home during the day, so it’s blankets and jumpers galore. Essentially, I really need to get a snuggie.
The steamy breath is genuine. Not an exaggeration at all. This is ridiculous. I’ve been eyeing up the dog like he’s a Tauntaun.

  • Because big gay death rays ending the world as dictated by ‘family values’ (whatever that means) would be the best armageddon I could possibly imagine. It’s two men or two women marrying, just get the fuck over it already. It’s nobody business but the people directly involved.

  • Today’s comic, showcasing the level of logic applied to life by the theists I live with. My mother came into my room, shaking, thought she’d seen a ghost, rationalised it away, then later told me her plans for mass this weekend. Crazy.

  • We bought a 10x magnification mirror so the blindest member of the family could deal with her eyebrows, and I made the mistake of looking in it. If beauty is skin deep, don’t look too closely because ugly is on the skin’s surface. Blergh.

  • I feel like folks will think I’ve died if I don’t post something. Teeny crops of very early stages for an editorial I’m working on for Psyched4Sport. Awesome brief, great fun so far. 

    Once it’s all done, if it looks anything like the early stages I’ll try and post up a process thing.

  • Croppy previews of something that won’t be out for a couple of months - hopefully after that you may spot them in shops. Such a fun brief - my brain works entirely in pun, so pun-based work is epic. 

    As always, updated as soon as I can.
