What's his story?

The noble Roadie. Hear all, see all, say bugger all.

So I had an idea for a story three days ago: The Defect. It's about a sad and scary old man.

This is just to measure how long it take to get it all done. The timer starts... now.

Christmas is a-coming!

Beware of robbers over the Christmas period

 As the great philosopher Homer once said: "There's only one fat guy who gives presents and his name ain't Santa."

We can all learn something from The Simpsons.

Rot your eyes, Alpha

Johnny was annoyed to find his "bargain" new gun was actually an electric razor.

Just finished a Strontium Dog script. I'll probably send it to Dogbreath, despite not hearing back on the last one. That's the way I roll. (And who else can I send it to?).

P.S. The watermarking on the above image is okay -it was drawn by Dave Thomson and is cut from my contributor's copy to the "Get Well Carlos" comic that was done last year when the comic great was sick.

Sleigh Bells Ring, Are You Listening?

The closest you'll come to a present. Naughty Boy!

Is it wrong to have written a story about Christmas cannibalism?

Does reindeer decapitation capture the Festive Spirit?

Ah, well, too late to ask such questions. I don't put this stuff in my head - I take it out.

Stick a plaster on it mate, you'll be fine.

On reflection, Pete regretted the Gutbuster Burger

A snippet from a page by Dan Cornwell for The Price, a five pager that I've written. This is not the worst thing on the page. It really isn't.

I love Dan's art and am sure he'll make it big.

Something Bad.

Dave didn't like strangers touching his Kindle.

"What's this?" I hear you cry. It's only a cover by Neil McClements for my current obsession - I'm going to collect what I think are my better scripts into a bound comic, to accompany submissions in an effort to stand out from the slush pile. It's to get a logo on it.

I'm very grateful to Neil for doing it.

It's not going to be sold because the stories in it will be from other things, like Hadron Colliderscope and Zarjaz, and some of them won't have been published there by the time this is finished. And because I'm lazy. And fearful no one would be interested.

No idea if it will work. If it doesn't then is it vanity publishing, even if no one else sees it?

(And I have a three page script I'd like to put in it - if anyone wants to draw it then let me know, as I'm not printing it until November).

Waiting. Watching. With infinite patience and eternal evil...

Hello, handsome

I've been busy. Honest. A 10,000 word short story has kept me busy the last couple of months, my first prose in five or six years. I've also written up three comic shorts in the last month and now have seven scripts being drawn for various small press things.

In addition, I yesterday finished a 10 page strip featuring this chap. I'd say what it was about but am afraid that it might be rejected: it's either genius or the Worst Idea Ever. My broken and gibbering mind can no longer tell...
