Sorry everyone but for the next week or so it is unlikely that there will be an episode of The Life of Nob T. Mouse. The reason for this is twofold. Firstly, I’ll be on holiday and I simply haven’t had time to put the finishing touches to the comics, and secondly I’ve got an…Read more
Asterisks
I’m no fan of censorship so any chance to make fun of those who feel a need to censor things rather than just get on with their lives is a chance I have to take. In this case, however, the joke was simply one that had to be told, whether I love to make fun…Read more
Heavy Thinking
This episode came from calls to see more of the characters from Series One who have yet to appear in Series Two and Three, save for a brief appearance in a crowd scene back near the start of Pie Noon. I therefore threw together a homage to strange conversations I had in the pub when…Read more
Sim Franky
Sometimes the daft jokes are the best. This one is especially daft for a couple of reasons; the main one being the question of why anyone would want to simulate Franky’s life. Entertainment value, most likely. Franky is a weird one so chances are a simulation would be fun to watch from a “what daft…Read more
Where did it go?
Is it a really bad joke to have Nob Mouse telling Franky to ‘relax’? Probably but never mind. If there’s one thing The Life of Nob T. Mouse does often, it’s bad jokes. This episode is a few hours late but at least it went up on the right day, which is a marked improvement…Read more
All in a day’s work
Sometimes there’s just nothing you can say, especially when you’re confronted by something so stupid that you can’t believe you heard it in the first place. I experienced this on an almost daily basis while working in a call centre earlier this year and I’m certain the police hear it all the more often. That’s…Read more
Posting a letter
When it takes almost five hours to produce one comic there’s got to be something wrong. The sketch for the episode took only about twenty minutes, maybe half an hour. Inking, colouring and lettering the comic took a lot longer, however. I was able to listen to five episodes of House while producing today’s episode. …Read more
Gravy Train
I’ve been having a little trouble this past week coming up with story ideas for The Life of Nob T. Mouse and thankfully the wonderful Jennifer Kirk stepped in to help me with this week’s Friday comic. She provided the storyline, leaving me free to just draw the comic and add the dialogue. I’m very…Read more
The case of the missing signal
It feels like ages since I wrote a single-page Nob Mouse story in the Series Two style so I decided now was a good time to write one. I sometimes feel like I’m treading water with these comics, doing sequels of sorts to older tales, but Jenny assures me that this isn’t the case. I’m…Read more
Health and Safety
Lately Jenny and I have been discussing the way Health and Safety ‘officers’ and the general ‘health and saferty culture’ are ruining Britain. When I reference culture in this aspect I am, of course, using it in the same context as, say, bacteria can have culture; i.e. it’s in no way anything near the level…Read more
