Above is my lovely wife Rachel holding a lovely, squeezable bottle of Marmite. How did this mysterious object make its way across the Atlantic Ocean and deposit its contents into the depths of my intestines? The answer is simple. Cartoonists are the most sharing and kind people on the planet when it comes to spreading [...]

I inherited good teeth from my father (better than money, really), but I haven’t been to the dentist for an embarrassingly long time. In fact, I think my dentist retired a long time ago. Anyway, I need to go. They’re in good shape, but the hull of the Titanic has probably been more thoroughly [...]

There’s something about it that’s satisfying on a primitive, artistic level. Also, throughout my life, I have loved doodling on [...]
I’ve never asked for guest strips or have really understood them. I’ve always said, as a reader, that if a creator needs a break I will wait practically forever for them to get back to it (I’ve read a lot of independent comics, after all). Anthony Naylor, of Tone Cartoons at www.tonecartoons.co.uk took the time [...]
