THAT COMIC SMELL: HEAVY COMICS



The new episode is online now.

From the web:

"This time on the podcast we get real. Like, really real. Yes, we are getting down, deep and dark by covering some “Heavy Comics”
That doesn’t mean we can’t have a good laugh along the way though. We have a little catch up, Mike has a little technical issue at the start and we gain an echo. Disclaimer! We did actually gain an echo near Nando’s books. There was a slight problem and we couldn’t get rid of it. It’s barely noticeable, but just so you folks know going in. It’s already heavy enough without the sound going that way as well.

This and all the usual comics chat on…
That Comic Smell!

MOUNT A RESCUE - OUT NOW



Mount a Rescue is available now from the Fred Egg Comics shop or at Comichaus.

Written and drawn by David Robertson, and featuring new artwork from guest artists Clio Ding, Zu Dominiak, Damon Herd, Olivia Hicks, Rebecca Horner, Azuna Ikes, Paddy Johnston, Tim Kelly, Marc Cee, Francesca Mancuso, Norrie Millar, Emma Oosterhous, Neil Paterson, Ludovica Wing Shuen Price, Mike Sedakat, Védís Huldudóttir, Pam Wye, and Cherish York.

“Los Angeles, November 2019” is a love letter to Blade Runner as we reached the date depicted in the movie. “Coming of Age” looks at digitisation of humanity. An individual walks among a submerged civilisation in “Water (load of rubbish)”. “India (and after)” is a sketchbook comic chronicling a visit to that country. And there's more! I have 18 different short stories written by me, with art by others as listed above, on topics such as butter, calculating probability, comics performance, creepy folks, forgiveness, generational conflict, Homer Simpson, movie stars, national radio news, nice smells, plush toys, pub quizzes, recycling bins, “right on” people, sleep apnoea, spacegates, true stories, and women’s faces.

Look for previews of the 35 stories coming over the next week.
