Yummy Mummy: Series 2, episode 4

Resonance FM’s high-octane, low-concept children’s light entertainment bonanza for forward-thinking little people and backward-thinking big people. This week, in a desperate bid to force the sartorially-challenged station staff to smarten up their collective act, Resonance Commander-in-Chief Thomas Weaver-Baxter has ordered a large antique ornamental mirror to be hung above the studio’s mantelpiece. Predictably, it turns out to be magic and sends Yummy Mummy off on another wild adventure. Features graphic reconstructions of fairies being eaten by lions.

Panel Borders: The man who painted cats

Panel Borders: The man who painted cats

Starting a month of shows about anthropomorphic or ‘funny animal’ comics we’re proud to present a panel recorded at this year’s Comica festival: TV / BBC Radio comedy writer David Quantick and underground cartoonist Edwin Pouncey, a.k.a. Savage Pencil talk about their graphic novel, currently serialised in Alan Moore’s magazine Dodgem Logic, which concerns the life of Louis Wain, Edwardian painter of cats whose work became increasingly experimental as his mental health deteriorated. The two creators discuss their interest in Wain, the depiction of his life and his cats in their comic, and the important use of Feline Ophthalmology and wallpaper in fine art! (Recorded, edited and introduced by Alex Fitch)

Yummy Mummy: Series 2, episode 3

Resonance FM’s high-octane, low-concept children’s light entertainment bonanza for forward-thinking little people and backward-thinking big people. This week, following yet another ball-bursting incident with the primary school next door, the YMSR team find themselves barricaded in the studio by an army of angry young tear-aways. Reasoning that they never had this kind of problem at the old studio in Denmark Street, evil Station-Commander Thomas Weaver-Baxter decides that the only sensible solution is to tunnel their way back there at once. Unfortunately they don’t realise they’ve taken a wrong turn until they hear the distant sound of yodelling. Slight confusing fun for children of all ages.
