THAT COMIC SMELL 5.5: AFTERHOURS

The new episode of That Comic Smell is now online.

Have a listen at Soundcloud here and YouTube here.

From the website:

"This is the part where we had too much recording to just let it go to waste.

This is a little peak behind the curtain into what happens after the main podcast is finished. The folks here at "That Comic Smell" enjoy a gab afterwards.

So sit back and relax for a few minutes and have a listen to some extra bits and bobs."

NOVUM SCIENCE FICTION PODCAST

I'm a guest on the latest episode of Ari Brin's science fiction podcast Novum.

Here's information from the website:

"Creating Comics with David Robertson. In this episode, Ari talks science fiction, comics, and making an idea into a tangible reality with comic creator David Robertson (Fred Egg Comics)"

It's online now. Have a listen here.

BERSERKOTRON at ALMOST NORMAL COMICS

Warren "WEE" Elliott has written on Berserkotron over at Almost Normal Comics.

Have a read here.

"Three friends find themselves at the end of childhood and transitioning into adulthood. Two are finishing their last year of school while the other has already left school and taken a part-time job. As the central character, Bert, ponders what he’ll do following school, his friend Ronnie has built a robot, the Berserkotron, and, with Bert’s help, prepares to enter it in a “Robot Wars” completion! Throughout the story Bert, Ronnie, and their other friend Melvyn interact with “Robot Wars’ competitors, school mates, and parents. 

Berserkotron is a great coming of age comic! David keeps the art simple with minimal details and sparse backgrounds. He effectively builds the story through strong but subtle character development. The lives led by the characters, their hopes, disappointments, and future concerns are all believable and told in a relatable fashion that pulls the reader in and keeps them engaged in the story!"
