Series Three

Merry Christmas; or midwinter festival of your choice, should you happen to be someone who does not wish to celebrate Christmas.  It’s no problem to me if you don’t want to celebrate it.  I ‘celebrate’ Christmas as a time when family and friends get together to exchange gifts as a token of their appreciation for…Read more

Sometimes people just don’t believe what’s right in front of them. This can be because either they don’t want to believe it, or they simply can’t believe it.  Sometimes it could be a mixture of these, I suppose, but which is more common is something I can’t go into because I’m not as well versed…Read more

It’s interesting to note that my occasional co-writer, Jennifer Kirk, thought Jo (the white/orange character who is usually found in the company of Kevin) was a girl.  I’ve never considered Jo to be anything more than … well … Jo.  Gender is often undetermined in the Nob Mouse universe – the characters are first and…Read more

Although It was Jenny who came up with the idea of the Franky from the computer game in Sim Franky living on a desert island and sending the ‘real’ (what is real in Nob Mouse anyway?) Franky postcards, it is my addition of the robot body that really hits home with me.  This isn’t simply…Read more

It’s not often that I attempt a continuous story in the Series Three style.  In fact, the only other time I’ve done this was A Trip Down Memory Lane which, let’s admit it, was not my finest hour.  Today’s comic is a continuation of sorts from Friday’s Still Life.  This was not intended at the…Read more

I sometimes think that Wilf is the Nob Mouse equivalent of the ‘big fat party guy’ stereotype, only not always quite as anchored to the real world.  Okay, he has his moments of annoyance (as can be seen when he argues with Franky during the Pie Noon saga) but he is, in general, quite an…Read more

There is probably logic in this strip somewhere.  I tried to keep it out but these things slip in when you’re not looking, no matter how dilligent one tries to be.  If there is logic in here, I’m sure it’s impeccable when taken from the right point of view.  For everyone else it will be…Read more

The idea behind this story comes from cult sci-fi author Jennifer Kirk, who is a fan and occasional contributor of ideas to The Life of Nob T. Mouse.  We had been discussing the idea of lotteries and how they are skewed toward the house always winning at the expense of the consumer.  Add in Spam’s…Read more

With NaNoWriMo being a significant drain on my time, the chances of more Series Three stories than Series Two ones this month are significant.  I’m not saying it’s definitely going to be a month of three-panel stories, but chances are high. This one came to me late on Sunday, i.e. yesterday by the time this…Read more

When an idea strikes you, it isn’t like someone punching you in the face; although the experience can be just as shocking.  It’s more like someone grabs you by the ears and pulls your head toward theirs, so they can better shout in your ear.  That’s how ideas strike me, anyway.  Your experiences may be…Read more
