Well here’s a treat for ye!  You may or may not remember that a while back I did a guest comic for the mighty Spacetrawler, and great fun it was too (You can read it here).  By way of thanks, Spacetrawler’s polymath creator Christopher said he’d like to have a go at a Faraday strip in return.  Skip forward to yesterday, and this gem popped into my inbox out of the blue

It goes without saying that I love it, but I’ll resist the natural urge to waffle on about it too much and let the comic speak for itself.  Fantastic stuff.

I’ve talked about Spacetrawler here before, but suffice to say if your not reading it, you should be.  It’s scheduled to come to a barnstorming conclusion sometime in the Summer, so hop on board (first strip here), catch up, and enjoy the ride.  You won’t get a better mix of gags, philospohy, action and hilarious character design anywhere else.  Beyond the ‘Trawl, Christopher has a impressive back catalogue of other great comic work to be explored.  You can buy his books here.

Thanks again, Chris!

In other news, I’m putting together another site for my non-Faraday comics (tagged here as intermissions) which should go live in the next few weeks, so stay tuned.  Faraday himself isn’t going anywhere, I still plan to update his adventures every now and again, but in full recognition of the fact that a regular complex, full colour piece of illustration is a bit beyond my scheduling capabilities at the moment

Quickie to prove we’re still alive! You might need to be Irish to get this one though

Merrrrrrrrry Christmas fun-chums!

Older Christmas comics here.

Yoy! Still here.  Feel free to ‘like’ the hell outta this

Anyway, Faraday’s nascent and deeply cynical move into the sweat ‘n’ spandex hero-comics market has been given a fantastic boost by this poster for ‘The Dark Blob Rises’ which arrived via the Tweet-machine from insanely talented illustrator and skeptical Corkman Alan Barrett.  Alan, or ‘Hybrid Vigour’ as he’s know to his mum has a blogfolio which you should check out as though your life depended on it. Christopher Nolan just emailed to say it’s the second best thing he’s ever seen.

Cheers Al!

Also: Whubble is back! What’s Whubble? It is the best webcomic.

Sorry for using the word blogfolio.  I’m so sorry**.

Ok dudes, good ol’ real life is interfering with the normally ruthlessly efficient comic production machines here at Blob Towers again.  Until I can get them up and running and chucking out minty-fresh epsiodes of the world’s greatest webcomic once more, please enjoy this special courtesy episode of RSI* at no extra charge.

*Sneak preview of an RSI mini-comic I’m putting together!

When I was a kid and I heard someone talking about ‘bleeding a radiator’, pretty much this scenario popped into my head :O

Also, drawing this comic made me want to play ‘Doom’ again for some reason…

Hey, Faraday is ‘Pick of the Week’ over at Webcomics Alliance.  Check it out!

Oh hey look, Faraday gets a nice review over at YourWebcomics.com!  (Apart from the bit where they give out about my update schedule… I know, I know)
