Juan totally drew this. He won't let me link this picture to his blog or anything though. Weird. He claims he could do better with a proper a pencil rather than one of those Ikea ones. Regardless, I think it is amazing. Good work Juan!
I've emailed other drawing people I know/admire so hopefully this will be the first of many Jessica Fletchers!
Following on from the awesomeness of the last comic, I've decided that next week (as of tomorrow) is Jessica Fletcher Week. There will be a different Jessica Fletcher related comic each day (unless I forget to upload it).
Just made it back from Comiket at the ICA. What a peculiar day!
It got off to a pretty weird start since the ENTIRE train line I normally use was down. There were no trains. None. Zero. Zilch. Still, using my Super Bus Powers I got to the ICA a bit later than planned. Still, I had a quarter of a table and found myself between Aidan Koch and a girl who I thought was called Blossom but was actually called Joceline. It was a little squished and pretty awkward at first but it turned out that they were both lovely. Phew.
I wasn't selling anything new - just the stuff I took to MCM Expo really...but pushed together to fit across a 30cm wide space. Oh dear. Still, I did my best and gave out all my flyers and sold a little. The most exciting thing about the whole afternoon was meeting lots of new people. Some had beards. Some had stories. Pretty much all of them were awesome. Hooray!
Speaking of awesome people, Lizz, Bryony, Phil and Howard were all there too. HOWEVER! There was a SHOCKING DISCOVERY! Neither Lizz, Bryony or Phil had ever heard of one of the greatest pop songs of all time! I am, of course, talking about this:
So yeah. We went for food and I had a really nice time. The little money I made was spent on a taxi home because of the stupid trains and tomorrow is a new day.
In regards to drawing and stuff, I've been making some new characters/rejigging some old ones. Here is one of them:
Are you ready for The Super Virgins? The answer is probably no. Better get ready!
I went on a binge of making new characters and will post the results soon. The above robot appears in quite a lot of stuff I do - he even has his own mini-comic aboud Pi - but I worry that I neglect him a bit too much so I figure it would only be polite to draw him first.
EXCITING NEWS!
I am possibly going to be at the ICA Comica Comiket with comics and owls and badges and stuff. I don't appear to be on the list of exhibitors which is a bit worrying but I got an email from the nice man who organises it saying that I have a quarter of a table to use... I don't get a quarter because I'm rubbish or anything - but there are lots of people so we'll all be squashed in... At least, I hope that's the reason. Regardless, come along! It's this Sunday the 8th o f November at the ICA from sometime to another time.
In other news, I never got that email I was waiting/hoping for but I *did* find my wallet.
Oh Toby. Always crying. Why doesn't anything ever work out for you? Is it because you're a dinosaur? Is it because you have no self-confidence? Is it because everyone hates you? Whatever the reason, I'm sorry that things never seem to go your way. Now sign out and go to bed. That email isn't coming.
FUN FACT: I think I had my funniest Twitter post today with "I am to ice cream what Godzilla is to Tokyo." Genius. I think my sense of humour might be wasted on Twitter...and most people in general for that matter.
This headline made me wet myself. I la la love the idea of Kelly Brook(e?) using her superpowers to blast a hybrid mutant of Ant and Dec. That'll teach 'em.
