After a long hiatus in my blogging, here is some news.
Last week saw the launch of Whores of Mensa 5 at a spiffing party organised by
Ellen Lindner, who also happens to be editor of said publication. The comic is a brilliant collection of party-themed pieces, containing works by the likes of
Patrice Aggs,
Sarah Macintyre, Ellen,
Jeremy Day, moi, and a host of others.

As a contributor, I was of course was invited to the event in
Maartje Shalkx's envy-inducing loft/studio in Kingsland Road. The comic cognoscenti enjoyed booze and cake and were regaled by the spinnings of one Reginald Frothy. Nick noted that we were in the heart of Vietnamese restaurant heaven and we swore to return to these parts...
Meanwhile The long awaited
B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S 2 is ready and in the capable hands of the printers! With contributions from such talents as
Dan Lester,
Paul Rainey,
Rob Jackson,
Oliver Lambden,
David Baillie,
Sean Azzopardi,
Phil Spence, our favourite
Norwegian, and on the girl's team
Sally-Anne Hickman and my good self, you are in for a treat. Coming in at a whopping 208 pages, I can barely contain my excitement!
And another thing I forgot to post: My friend
Jim Medway has created "Comical Animal" a new online comic about funny animals. It features an amazing line-up of artists , none more so than the brilliant
Gary "Smoking Ducks" Northfield. I did a cartoon for it based on a fifties Tiny Tots strip called 'Jumbo Jim and his brother Tim'.
Here's the preview issue. Why don't you subscribe and get on the mailing list? It's free (I think).
