Grave danger.

Last year I drew a comic in which Grey was upset by the fact GT5 had been delayed. The punchline was somewhat similar to today's comic.

Heartfelt

An adaptation of my blog post 'A little help'

Bowl in the wall.

We had just finnished playing LBP2 from start to finnish so at four in the morning it was either this or Porn.

Back we go.

The trailer is very shiny but considering the game won't play backwards it seems crazy for big-wigs to jump on board with a film based on the trailer alone.

Pool Hall Day's.

Now this one is more true to real life. Chris does rock at pool. He always lures us in with false promises of a fair match before cleaning up like a pro. Curse his knowledge of geometry.

Laser-Pest

This is true, in as much as it happened to Chris and not me. His score wasn't zero, But come on, He's the Spec-op of our clan. I was shocked. Of course Tim the solider, blasted his way to victory. I wanted to make sure I posted a comic that in some way linked to Resistance today because i've spent the last five hours running round a forest for a Competition Insomniac is hosting. I enlisted the help of my friend Claire and what started out as quite a serious shoot became rather more silly when we happened upon a rope swing. I'll post the photo's up in March.

Drake's Misfortune

This comic is now extremely outdated considering the trailer came out back in December. Still the concept stuck with me.

The Bromance Strikes back

The ‘again’ references a comic I drew for his last birthday chronicling the real occurrence of a small Bistro we would frequent called the Grill-Inn. They sat us in the window and lit a candle. It couldn’t have been more romantic if they tried. It closed down sadly, so we then moved on to Nando’s as our Birthday location.

Self-restraint

Today is My friend Andrew/Tim's Birthday. I hope he has a most excelent day. This time last year I traveled to Leed's to visit him. It snowed unexpectedly and the city looked stunning under the white cover.

Over saturation

The walking dead (despite being excelent) was the clearest sign that Zombies were becoming the new vampires.

True Git

The person in the last panel is real. When I was looking for a cowboy reference photo, I went to his Facebook. I didn't even have to scroll down to find a photo with the hat in.

Swings and roundabouts.

I'm not a crazy fan boy like the comic suggests. Its just fun to use the new character 'Kingsley' to debunk this common form of debate with logic.

Shop down.

Not much to say about this one... It is what it is.

Lord of the dance.

This little moment is taken directly from real life. Well when I say real life, I mean the one my clan the 'Knights of Polite' lead in the world or Resistance. If you haven't heard of the game resistance you can find my thoughts on it here. I'll also be talking about it again later in the month.

Beyond help.

My MP3 player (Desmond) is my longest running piece of Kit at five and a half years old. Then my Lap-top (Sanchez) and my current PS3 (Mal). When my first Playstaion ( Claude) Broke I did have a slight breakdown but that's how 'What kind of day has it been?' started, so every cloud.

Bad Romance

Since the initial rejection less then a month ago, I’ve ticked off three things from this depressing Romance bucket list. Tomorrow I should hopefully be seeing Paul with my delightful friends, which will complete the set. What to do then?

Yo-yo-yo-Sushi

I am a fan of Sushi, but the only good thing I found last time I went to a 'Yo-Sushi' place was a beer serving Robot. Which being T-total, I didn't get the most use out of.

Dead Right

My friend Rachel very kindly plugged my blog on her popular Twitter feed so if you've come here from her link I welcome you. Not all the comics will be about Video games.

Heavy Pain.

I loved Heavy Rain, but it did not require Move capability. I managed to play two scenes before changing back to normal controls. Which is a shame because Quantic dream worked on Move capability rather then make more DLC. If they HAD added the above scene it might all have been worth it.

Movin On up.

Some times the jokes for these comics just come to me and other times they are inspired by real world events. In this case two of my friend's first instinct when confronted with the Move was to stick it in their Mouth. I love them both for this.

Thirty comics, Thirty days.

Last year when I bought a Tablet for my PC I decided to practice and learn how to use it by drawing a three panel comic everyday for thirty days. Well exactly one year on I’m doing it again. I hope you enjoy the onslaught of daily content I’m about to throw your way.

A little help.

Marvel comics tried its hand at a comic to help people who might be thinking about Suicide. Unfortunately that comic consisted of one page setting up that the protagonist has it rough (His Dads dead and he’s failing in school) and then eight pages of Captain America beating up some dude’s. Now I’m not knocking the fact that Marvel have tried to handle a sensitive subject. I’m knocking the fact that the execution is just the worst.
Marvel has on its staff an abundance of talented writers. When one of their fictional characters dies they can write moving speeches that muster real emotions out of the reader. So was it really a wise choice to let a psychologist with limited comic book experience write this? Admittedly he might understand the mindset of a person in such a dark place, but if that’s true he certainly didn’t express it in the comic. The fact that this man is not a writer might have been the main reason the thing felt less like a help tool and more like a man living his fantasy of writing a Captain America comic.
I need to state that I’m all for a comic company trying to help people with such a constant and tragic problem and they have circulated the suicide hotline number on the final page which is great. It’s just a shame they couldn’t have made something less contrived to put that information out there.
