The Cattle Raid of Cooley is still on holiday, but the prequel, Ness, is going back to print as my stock is down to single figures. I thought I’d take the opportunity to do a new cover, as the old one isn’t very dramatic. Here it is. Hopefully the new print run will be ready for the 2D comics festival in Derry at the end of the month.

This is shaping up to being a very busy month for me, so I may as well just write it off for any productive drawing and promise I’ll get back to it in a few weeks.

In the meantime, why not watch Judge Minty, a 27-minute Judge Dredd fan film that’s now available on Youtube?

No page this week – my mind has been unavoidably elsewhere. There is light appearing at the end of the tunnel, finally – my kitchen no longer looks like an episode of Time Team, and soon I will no longer have to use other people’s bathrooms, but will be able to return to my own.

In other news, the panel at the Dundalk Book Festival went well – here’s a cutting from the local press with our photy in:

This Saturday coming sees the launch of Courageous Mayhem – the follow-up to last year’s Romantic Mayhem, this time parodying old boys’ comics. I have a strip in it called “Heroes from Bible Days”, and it’s full of great work from a lot of the same creators, and a few more. Gar Shanley is once again overseeing proceedings, so it’s guaranteed to be funny, and perhaps a bit sick. Anyway, the launch is at The Little Green café bar, 13 High Street, Dublin 8. Here’s the Facebook Event Page – invite your friends!

I’m appearing at the Dundalk Book Festival tomorrow as part of a panel on Irish Comics and Graphic Novels, alongside Tommie Kelly, Hilary Lawler, Rob Curley and Al Nolan. It’s at the County Museum, starting at 2.30.

There’s no page today because, well… I forgot. It completely went out of my head. That’s all. I’ll try and get it done for tonight, but no promises.
