Description Done for the latest issue of The Stool Pigeon. A little bit tweaked from the version that appears in the paper, but not by much. I don't think it really works that well, it was kind of rushed, so you might need to track back a couple of times to actually understand it.

If you're in the UK you can pick up a free copy in one of the many many shops/clubs/bars listed here[link]

It's a bit like Chris Ware with a different set of neuroses.

Seriously, I've been down that road so many times with so many artists that I understand exactly what you're talking about. This is expertly done, beautiful, funny and touching.

wow! i always love to see that you've updated with comics, they never fail to be really thought-provoking and well made. it's always a treat to read through them and share them with my friends, the ideas to throw around are very interesting and have just my kind of dark humor to them as well XD

wiebkefesch [2010-04-22 21:37:02 +0000 UTC]

Love it and SO true.

I only got confused at the top, where those arrows posed questions. I think it would work better if the second row of pics was first, then the first row... That way it'd be chronological. And no arrows!

MumblingIdiot In reply to wiebkefesch [2010-04-23 20:14:46 +0000 UTC]

You're.. right! It does seem a little strange that they're that way around in hindsight. I guess I overlooked it as I only thought of them in unison. Which is silly really as everyone is naturally going to read row by row. I guess that's where my desperate arrows come in.

That's a very kind compliment. I do try to do so!

I haven't although I recently discovered Eleanor Davis' illustration work and love it so I'm definitely thinking I should give it a try.

That's great. I actually have no idea how many people read it, I'd never heard of it until I started doing comics for it, so it's pleasing to hear of people finding them in there.

You ever listen to The Mountain Goats? If not, check out the album "The Sunset Tree", it's my favorite album of all time. I love his stuff, it's so personal and real. It still is, but his latest album is all religious and stuff, and I don't like it at all - I liked it better when he was a psychiatric nurse hooked on methamphetamines.

Awesome! Your sense of design and layout is amazing.

The first two rows of panels could be potentially confusing, but it only takes a quick second to work it out, so don't sweat it.

To be fair I'm kind of glad it's a bit confusing. It means I'm definitely not playing it too safe and at least I'm getting feedback on it.
