Man & Troll 11 & 12

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:25:42 GMT

Read from the start!

Hope you enjoyed that. A number of people have asked if they could get hold of a copy of this (it was planned to be an A6-sized minicomic originally). If you'd like one (for free!) then send an email with your address to: tozocomic at gmail.com and I will sort it, as they say on Eastenders.
Also: Sarah McIntyre (jabberworks ) has done a fantastic job of pimping this on my behalf, as well as doing some Man & Troll fan-art!

Ain't it fabulous? You should friend her if you haven't already as she's a rising talent in both comics and children's book illustration.
(Edited the last line as it sounded like I was being rude about Sarah. She's wonderful - honest!)

Tozo at the Holy Bank. Coincidentally, this week was the anniversary of the death in 1982 of Roberto Calvi in circumstances that partly inspired this very storyline.

I made a quick minicomic for the London Thing last March but ran out of time for printing or assembling. So for your entertainment, it is serialised here:

Tozo and Klikker have caught the waterbus, a standard form of Nova Venezian transport.
Recommended reading: I recently picked up a printed preview of Necessary Monsters, a new webcomic from Sean Azzopardi and Daniel Merlin Goodbrey. If Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol had been drawn by Eddie Campbell it might have looked something like this. Can’t wait to see how it develops.

Anyone going to the CCG swap meet in Farringdon tomorrow? I think I might go for a look-see.

Back when dinosaurs ruled the earth I learned to tango (not the Argentine version but the ...um... regular one). This fact made the ladies swoon Kate Beaton-style as I recall, though thankfully no one else knew how to dance it so they didn't get to see how bad I was.

The house move went fine but it took 10 days for the phone company to flick the broadband switch from "off" to "on" so I had no internet for over a week (which is centuries in internet time - countless memes could have been born and died, thousands of petty cliques could have risen and fallen in brutal flame wars and I would have missed it all). On the other hand, it was probably the most productive 10 days of my entire life.

This time last year Tozo had a two week summer break - and this year he’s doing the same. The next update will be Sunday 15th June when we start the wind down to the end of Chapter 2.

If you’re missing Tozo in the meantime, why not buy a poster to display on your wall and you’ll be able to see him every day…?

Updates will be a bit sparse for the next week or so because I am moving house. I'm going south of the mighty Thames - culture-shock!! The new place is near the river so I will probably be drawing monsters in boats from now on. At the end of the street is the wharf where Bill Sikes hanged himself at the end of Oliver Twist (though the neighbourhood is a bit more upmarket these days).
