Series Three

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

Those who remember the last time Bernard the Health and Safety man turned up will already know that I have no time for the kind of person who wants to control others, and this comic takes that loathing one step further.  I’m not suggesting anyone should go and commit assault and battery on public officials…Read more

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

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

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

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

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

I think this comic is probably the funniest thing I wrote all day when I first sketched it. It’s something that came to me while I was drawing the last two episodes of A trip down memory lane and I’m pretty sure it’s far better-suited to the three-panel format than that story was. From now…Read more

When I showed this one to Jenny, my girlfriend and de facto test audience, she laughed at my portrayal of a baby Nob mouse but she was also rather shocked at Frederick’s inclusion in this story. I was surprised by this but that’s probably because I, being the writer, already knew Frederick was going to…Read more

I concerned that the jokes in this story just aren’t coming, which is unfortunate. It has been an experiment in telling a story in successive three-panel strips and I don’t think it’s working in this particular case. Perhaps this would have been better as a long-form comic on a Monday. In future, I’ll use the…Read more
