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

Pre-emptive biography
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
Not always the best policy
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
Insomnia
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
The Scary House, part four
Wow, this comic took a long time. It has more going on in it than I had originally planned but I think it’s all the better for it. It is certainly one of my favourites and I’m very pleased with it, especially the look and feel of Franky’s pumpkin costume. I hope you enjoy it…Read more
The Scary House, part three
It’s a strange thing when a story picks up and runs in a completely different direction to what you intended. The story will be finishing on Friday, taking the place of a Series Three comic that will most likely turn up on Monday instead. As the previous message I added says, there has been a…Read more
Sweet Tooth
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
The Scary House, part two
Sometimes these strips go in a completely different direction to what I envisaged when I started writing the story. This one is case in point, with the final frame being the key to this. I had a very clear-cut idea when I started out writing this story and it went in a different direction the…Read more
A slight delay on Scary House part 2
Sorry about this, everyone. The thing is, I didn’t expect it to take this long to colour the comic so there’s a slight delay on it being uploaded. I’ve yet to add the finishing touches to the colour and the lettering needs adding so I’ve got about an hour’s worth of work left to do. …Read more
Spirit of the Rules
This story has been something Jenny and I have bandied around for a while. I think it was originally inspired by the Olympics but we didn’t have a chance to put it up on the site back then because we already had a stack of ideas to run through. It’s a daft idea but sometimes…Read more
