Marvin Suicide : 167 – I love what you’ve done with your hair.

I was roller skating to the factory last night along my usual route and about 15 minutes into the journey noticed the sound of someone else on skates behind me. I looked round (as inconspicuously as one can on roller skates) and saw a figure dressed in dark purple with one of those pollution masks and a pair of blacked-out ‘Biggles’ style flying goggles.

Hooting Yard : Diligent And Miserable

When the cows come home they may be disconcerted to find you in their meadow, with your tilted head, and some of them may become fractious. Fractious cows can be dangerous, so it will help if you have your acolyte armed with some sort of cow-protection device. This might be made of corrugated cardboard, or alternatively of tin foil. Best to consult a catalogue of cow-protection devices beforehand, with your acolyte at your side.

The latest on moves by the London Assembly to reduce the dangers posed by lorries to cyclists.

Panel Borders: Eddie Campbell – The art of the raconteur

Panel Borders: Eddie Campbell – The art of the raconteur
Exclusive podcast to compliment the Resonance FM radio show, Strip!

In the second of four podcasts about comic book artist Eddie Campbell, Alex Fitch introduces a monologue by the artist in which Eddie tells the tale of his long suffering typesetter Mick Evans who has cameoed in a variety of his comics. Later in the show, Alex talks to Eddie about the nature of the artist’s role as a raconteur in titles such as Alec and Bacchus. Please note, we apologise if it is difficult to hear this recording – there is a lot of very loud background chatter, so it may be occasionally difficult to hear the interview. There will be a transcript forthcoming to help listeners follow the conversation.
