Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

As of next month, anyone donating to Nob Mouse using our lovely little ‘Support Nob Mouse’ button will be able to download a fantastic specially-made wallpaper produced just for all you lovely people who want to help keep Nob Mouse online.

I’m working on a lovely wallpaper and I intend to make a new one available on a regular, probably monthly, basis from February onwards, so stay tuned for more details! :)

New in Extras: The original ‘Pie Noon’

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

This is a very short message to say we have just found the original opening page to the Series One version of Pie Noon.  It’s not a complete page (the final two frames were never finished, or apparently even drawn & inked) but it gives an interesting view on how the storyline would have differed from the finished product.

The page is available from our Extras section.  We hope you enjoy it.

Nob Mouse on Kidjutsu

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

The cover to 'Pie Noon', the first of the new Nob Mouse comicsWe here at The Nob Mouse Network were recently invited to join the collection of publishers who distribute their comics through Kidjutsu, a children-oriented comics publisher.  Now you can view ‘Pie Noon’ in high resolution using their full-screen, flash-based comic browser.  It really is an amazing piece of software and I’m impressed by its speed.

Holdups

The latest episode of Revenge of the Nasties has had to be delayed until Friday thanks to the cold weather causing my Raynaud’s to go into overdrive.  It has been hard to hold a pen for several days let alone draw, ink and colour anything.

This issue has also affected the wallpaper for donors.  This will be going up soon but I’ll put up another message when it is ready.

Delays due to marriage arrangements and coursework

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I’m sorry to say that a lot of my time is being taken up by a combination of degree work and my forthcoming civil partnership.  As a result, today’s comic is delayed again and I may have to drop down to comics once a week for the next week or two while I get the wedding arrangements sorted.  I’m marrying my long-time girlfriend, Jennifer Kirk, on 15 March and the last few bits and pieces to be arranged (including me making some decorations for the top of our cake based on the characters from All over the house) are taking up a lot of my time.  The rest of my time is being taken up by my law course.  I’m currently studying two courses because the start and end dates overlap, so there’s a lot of work to be done.

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Slight delay

Monday, March 30th, 2009

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.

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.

Nob Mouse Wallpaper has arrived!

Friday, May 15th, 2009

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!

Real world causes delays

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Sorry, everyone.  We had a strip buffer but real life ate it, and now I’ve been working hard to get back on track but, unfortunately, real life eats all my efforts.  I’m weighed under by real life work pressures right now.  I’ll get back on track but at the moment I’m sorry to say we’ve got delays.
