When I showed this one to Jenny, my girlfriend and de facto test audience, she laughed at my portrayal of a baby Nob mouse but she was also rather shocked at Frederick’s inclusion in this story. I was surprised by this but that’s probably because I, being the writer, already knew Frederick was going to…Read more

A trip down memory lane, part 3
I concerned that the jokes in this story just aren’t coming, which is unfortunate. It has been an experiment in telling a story in successive three-panel strips and I don’t think it’s working in this particular case. Perhaps this would have been better as a long-form comic on a Monday. In future, I’ll use the…Read more
A trip down memory lane, part 2
I loved the idea of getting the design for the old version of Nob Mouse back into the series for potentially one last outing and this was just too good an opportunity to miss. Also, it’s your first chance to meet Herman Mouse, the founder of Blob City and the original mayor. You may be…Read more

It’s not often that I attempt a continuous story in the Series Three style. In fact, the only other time I’ve done this was A Trip Down Memory Lane which, let’s admit it, was not my finest hour. Today’s comic is a continuation of sorts from Friday’s Still Life. This was not intended at the…Read more
Some experiments fail
I think this comic is probably the funniest thing I wrote all day when I first sketched it. It’s something that came to me while I was drawing the last two episodes of A trip down memory lane and I’m pretty sure it’s far better-suited to the three-panel format than that story was. From now…Read more
