I’m away this week, so please to find this excellent guest comic by the hilarious and talented (and possibly slightly deranged) Mr. Brad Erkkila of Suicase Nuke fame.  On the off chance you don’t already know, Suitcase Nuke is a great comic with (very) quirky humour and stars, in Brad’s own words ‘no recurring characters except for a  cast of thousands. Thousands of deeply shallow characters that don’t exist.’  Deadly.

I’m particularly partial to the tragic Ghost Toad and his fruitless battle against mans’ environmental indifference, poor old Guiseppe, Mario’s ‘other’ brother and ‘Beardo’, the weirdo who is a walking incarnation of the ancient and powerful Beard Laws.

So anyway, when this guest comic arrived in my inbox described as ‘a loving tribute to Mr. Elf’s massive schnozz’, my ass was thoroughly kicked.  Cheers Brad!

What ho! A special New Year’s treat direct from the frozen plains of the Canadian prairie comes to you by way of a guest strip by the mighty Sandy Debreuil of Crowbar Benson fame!  I know most of you know (and love) Sandy’s comics, but for anyone that doesn’t – head on over right away and get stuck in.

Crowbar Benson is a comic strip about three hockey-mad (ice hockey, not the posh version) kids (one of whom is a grown up), who when they’re not playing or thinking about hockey, are probably blowing things up or otherwise endangering their own lives and each others’ in the name of a good prank, or sometimes just simple curiosity.

The art and colours are great, and it’s very funny, probably the most consistently funny daily webcomic I know of.  Daily! I have no idea how he does it

Cheers Sandy!

This week’s update has been generously provided by Bearman of the fantastic BEARTOONS online comic repository.  Bearman normally works on the editorial/commentary side of things and true to form, he took the news of my son’s recent arrival and ran with it.  I really like his take on my characters, particularly Faraday, and amazingly he managed to get the baby pretty much spot on too.

So big, big thanks to Bearman for this groovy comic – I really appreciate it
