Because it’s so popular, here is Nob Mouse under the influence of the dreaded Saturday Night Fever, recreated as wallpaper.  Click on the image to get the full version.

I promised to create some wallpapers available through donations of any amount a while back, and the first one is finally here.  It’s a parody of the Descent of Man image that will be so familiar to many of you, and I hope you like it.  It’s also the first time you’ll be able to see the new, improved, textured Nob Mouse.  Again, I hope you like it.

To get the wallpaper, use the donate button on the left of the site.  Enjoy!

Page one of 'The Masked Man' from the forthcoming graphic novel, 'The Collected Life of Nob T. Mouse'.

I’m currently working on the layout of all the Series Three stories for The Collected Life of Nob T. Mouse, the forthcoming Nob Mouse graphic novel.  The idea is to make these more presentable, where possible, by rendering them as Series Two stories.

This won’t always be possible, of course, because some of them run only to three panels and where that happens I’ll work something else out, but for many of the stories will work well in this new form and it certainly makes the book look better, I must say.

The graphic novel will be out sometime in the middle of the year, if current projections work out.  I’ve not got a price worked out yet but I’ll keep it as low as possible because I want everyone to have a chance to own this thing.

The new look of the Series One stories is pretty good, too.  Once Nob & The Pies has been finished in the new style I’ll post that as an extra, or possibly add it into the comic series somewhere so you can all see how the book will look.  All the Series One stories are being re-drawn to add to their readability, because if I don’t do this the first X number of pages of the book will, quite simply, suck.  Series One was not designed for book viewing, after all.

More news as I get it.

I’m sorry but the next installment of Revenge of the Nasties will be delayed until tomorrow (Tuesday 31st March) due to workload.  I don’t like falling behind but sometimes it has to happen because my coursework gets on top of me.

Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Nob Mouse came to visit me the other day.  This isn’t something that happens a lot, normally I go to visit him, but on occasion he likes to take a little time away from the quiet life at Blob City so he can experience the hustle and bustle of city life here with me.  He usually comes in disguise, of course.  This time the disguise was a big coat, a hat and a false mustache.  I hardly recognised him so it must have worked.

‘My, my,’ he said as he stomped his feet on the doormat.  ‘That’s very cold stuff you’ve got out there.  I don’t remember the ground being white last time I was here.  What happened?’

‘It’s called snow,’ I said.  ‘You’ve seen it before, surely?’

‘Snow?’ he asked, giving it a wary look.  ‘But it’s so cold.  It’s never that cold where I live.  Oh well.  Different cultures and traditions, I suppose.’

‘Yes,’ I said.  ‘People expect it to be cold here.  Can I get you some tea.’

‘Please.’

He sat on the sofa while I made a pot of tea.

‘So, to what do I owe the pleasure?’ I asked.

‘Oh, it’s nothing important.  Zigg is having his car mended and I thought I’d come along for the ride.’

‘Is he in disguise too?’

Nob chuckled.  ‘No, no.  He had a better idea.’

‘Oh?’

He sipped his tea and chuckled to himself.  ‘It turns out we don’t need one.  He’s just telling people he’s going to a fancy dress party.’
