Horse At The End Of The World

Oh, there you are!

Everything's going to be okay. You can come out now. I've got this comic here for you. It's from our third comics anthology and it's called 'Horse At The End Of The World.' It was drawn by the stupendously charming Nandi Williams, who will shock you to the core with her attractiveness.

It was printed in fantaglorious black and white with early 2008-era equipment. Despite knowing the limits of our feeble techomancy, Nandi drew it in colour anyway because she gets carried away like that. Her results were most excellent and I super-promised her that I'd put the colour version up on the website some day where people could maybe make it a desktop wallpaper if they were suitably impressed. But I got carried away myself on telling Sebastian to put up a new Snake Powers post and, well, here it is.

Sebastian and I came up with the script at a Bonfire Party. I think that maybe there aren't enough Bonfire Parties. A bonfire can really pep a party up to extreme levels. You can think a lot about horses when you're partied up so extremely like that.

Okay, here's the comic. Click to go to a magical realm where the picture is bigger.




Splash!



End!

Oh no! I forgot to charge up my camera. That is going to cost me points.

Tom McNally

P.S ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Here is a picture taken by one Michaela Verity of me and Sebastian -hours away- from coming up with this comic.

About the authors

You can't see it in the picture, but I was holding a pick-axe and Sebastian was holding a shovel. It was that kind of party.

Another new Shark Of Wisdom card

He's been places. He might take you there.

Hey guys, I did this! It will be the backing for the next six months of Shark Of Wisdom. I think it is funny, don't you?

I must nod to this handy receipt maker for an authentic-looking heading. Thanks, website!

My brother got kidnapped in Cambodia yesterday. I can't wait for him to update his blog with the whole story.

I'll have some comics for you, the internet, next time. There will be horses.

Merry Christmas from Brice Reignier (and us, I guess)

Brice Reignier, that thrice-lovely man who toils hard on many Semiotic Cohesion products, up to and not excluding the Shark Of Wisdom comics, just sent me a ker-azy remix of his cover for the upcoming fifth issue of our comics anthology.

Let me show it to you right now!

That gorilla suit is really itchy.

Other news: The ominous promises of an entirely rehauled website are going to be set aside for the time being, but do not pretend, oh reader, that the thought of a more beautiful and functional website where you can buy all of our fine Semiotic Cohesion productchilds does not burn through my brain every day. It has burned there every day since about 2001. I am a patient man.

Sebastian is currently out in the woods, possibly putting the first words down on the very first The Ancient Shark Of Despair book. It's going to be a rewriting and rejiggering of the first few months of the blog, October 2006 - January 2007, which are looking a bit embarrassing these days. We aim to fix that! Anyway, I'm on editing duties and I shall do my best to maintain continuity and the correct levels of sadness, mirth, spelling. Sebastian has said quite a few times that this book will be so gigantically awesome that it will split him into several new people. I believe him. I think I saw this book in his eyes when I first met him at Newlands train station an indeterminate number of years ago. I think he was eating chips at the time?

Other news: Hey, there's a fifth comics anthology comic coming out, you know? I know the site only says that three exist but the site is a filthy liar most of the time.

Okay, I've got to go write some TASOD before I go to bed. I'll be back soon. Don't worry.

Sincerely,
Tom McNally

NEXT: Some comics.

The new tshirt...

artfully depicts two men wrestling until they become undone. On sale at Obsfest, OBVIOUSLY.

This is the comic that it is taken on:












CUTHERE-SEBASTIAN

Oh and check this out.

This is a comic that isn't making it into Hedgemony two, cos like, whatever.

and you know the clicking the big



(Also, it might make it into Hedgemony two, cos like, whatever.)

- More like "Sebastian".

Hedgemony Comics ROUND 2

The second issue of Hedgemony Comics goes to print tomorrow. Well, whenever I finish it actually. I have to finish it by the time the print shop closes on Friday as to have them for Obzfest on Saturday. I've sat around doing nothing all day as I've had a crippling sense of something or other. I still have a good ten hours work to do, so I might just work through the night. Anyway, wish me luck. And if you happen to pass through Cape Town, South Africa this weekend, pop in to Obzfest and buy some ridiculously good stuff (from me).

This is the cover. It'll probably be different by the time I print it, but you know, this is how it goes.

(Did you know that if you clicked it and it became big.)
