Ziggy the Space Tomato: Part 05

Ah, the speed of progress!

COME ON!

I want to recommend Mike Maihack's marvellous comic strip Cow and Buffalo, a comic I catch every week. My comic taste has mostly been things such as The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Batman: The Animated Series, the odd Star Wars, the DFC and the Rainbow Orchid, and this is one of the ones, like those, that really appeals to me. It's it's own thing, it's not obeying cliche'd rules, it's whimsical, fun, self deprecating....

Yes, he's got a new book out, and yes, I've got a comic in it and want you to get it, but yes, it's class, and I want to see more comics like it in future, and if you read it, you might just want that too...

There's No Savage Norsemen Here...

Here's the second in my 'quick cartoon at lunch' series... although I've just been tweaking it a little a few minutes ago. I'm enjoying this, it's a bit more rough and ready, and different to my more polished stuff.

I liked the comment from yesterday, it's sparked an idea off... feel free to leave comments, it'll be fun to riff off them and see what places it takes us...

Finally, have a look at this... it's a new comic which gets posted to your door, with a whole mix of comic strips, and worth a look... it'd be good if Britain had a stronger comic book culture, and I hope this adds to it...
