Crazy Christmas Cannibal Capers

So this is Christmas, and what have you done?

Well, I wrote this: Goodwill.

I'm dead chuffed with this as it has no words. You've no idea how hard that made writing the script. Of course, it helps that it looks bloody fantastic.

The jolly spiffy art is by Jon Taylor (who I'm guessing is here, but he hasn't told me so I may need to correct that!). This started out as something I put forward for the annual 2000ad messageboard Advent Calendar. Um, but then I realised - after seeing other posts - that it was meant to be about 2000ad. Which makes sense, I suppose.

You can also see this at Hadron Colliderscope and I normally wouldn't re-post it here, and certainly not so soon. But it's Christmas, innit?

All the best to you and yours.

...and Einstein said it was impossible

My PC decided to keel over a few weeks ago, which is annoying. Still, I'm posting this having just got my new one up and running. Yay!

In the meantime, FTL has accepted the strip The Commute, by me and Leigh Kalibor. It should be published in early 2012. And there's a rumour that Dogbreath like something - if only I can master Viking accents...

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.

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.
