Sorry about the delay in getting the comic up.  Sometimes the dreaded lurgy strikes when it’s least inconvenient.  Still, at least we managed to maintain getting the comic up on the right day, even if we missed the target hour.

Hello Mousers!

Happy new year to all of you. As a celebration of the new year and the fourteenth anniversary of The Life of Nob T. Mouse, I promised to bring you The Wandering Years. If you have been reading the blog before now, you will know that I said these would be coming out as a 24-page comic published at the end of each month. As it stands, that seems like a long time to wait for each update.

I have therefore decided that each 24-page comic will instead be released a page a day, Monday to Friday, with 24 updates per month. This will ensure that we have all the episodes online by the end of the year, which is great from my point of view because it means we’ll be finishing around the time of the fifteenth anniversary.

The first page of part one is now online. Click here to enter The Cavern of Rulshub Yan!

Hello, Mousers!

Jennifer keeps telling me that I have to work against detail creep but sometimes it is unavoidable. Take the comic I am drawing for today, for example. It would simply not work if there was a small amount of cutlery, pans and so forth flying through the air, so I have to draw a lot of it.

I think there must therefore be two kinds of detail: the good detail, which is necessary for the correct telling of the story, and the extra detail that is good only when you have the time to put that much effort into the artwork. When drawing three daily comics, this extra amount of detail is simply not always possible.

Nevertheless, it was necessary today so I am putting in the effort. Expect the comic to be up in a few hours as a result but to slake your thirsts for adventure right now you can see the sketch by clicking on the small image below. Enjoy!

So many utensils...
