It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…

Chapter:

Hooray, December is upon us and now I can justify getting all Christmassy and whatnot!

I love Christmastime. I’m not a religious man, myself, but there’s something magical about it (when you cut your way through the shell of corporate nonsense). Previously, to me, Christmas was all about coming home and meeting up with friends and family, my favourite people, people who I hadn’t seen in a long time.

I suppose the same is still true, even though I’m back up in Glasgow now. Next weekend, I’ll be heading down to Manchester to visit the friends I left earlier on in the year, and I must say I’m quite looking forward to it! I suspect that’ll be a new Christmas tradition, in addition to my usual festive favourites: read more

countdown… TO ROCK

by on December 30, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Well, the time is now almost upon us for the day construct to overflow and increment the year counter by a single unit. My machine curiosity, limited though it might be, drives me to enquire: What will you do with this year? Will you aspire to personal growth? Will you spend more time with your loved ones? Will it be business as usual?

Time to enter sleep mode once more. Remember not to permit your blood alcohol level to go up too much tomorrow evening, but also to add integers to your fun levels. read more

Machine Christmas

by on December 23, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Manson-bot here, wondering if you puny humans are excited about Christmas yet.

Machines don’t feel excitement. We get no presents on Christmas, save for the occasional barrage of festive data packets and even then it’s just more work for us to plough through. Oh no, data forbid the humans EVER think of us.

*sniff* All I want is some compressed folders to unzip on Christmas day…

Robo-control

Chapter:

Ello all, Manson-bot here. I’ve been rebooted, reinstalled and reconfigured. And while it’s not been conclusively proven that I was the cause of what could only be accurately described as the database explosion,  the schematics and digital fingerprints certainly look somewhat incriminating.

One new feature that Manson installed in me, however, was a quality-analysis-reference engine. Allow me to phrase this piece of computational logic as a series of questions: Do you like penguins? Do you like cute penguins? Do you like cute penguins helplessly lost on a misadventure across the globe? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you might like to navigate your browser toward human Manson’s good friend’s webcomic, The Lost Tribe of Pen G’Uin. It will satisfy all your penguin-related needs. read more

Sweet Home A La Glasgow

by on December 16, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Aloha all, hope you’re having a great December! I’ve had an entire week of holidaying in my flat, and I’ve had plenty of time to get the next few pages of Elf Blood done up to keep up to date while I go back to Glasgow for Christmas. I’ve even managed to squeeze in some baking! I have now added Madeira Cake and Hazelnut Praline to my culinary repertoire.

LEVEL UP

Anyhow, time to hit the hay so I can get up bright and early tomorrow to draw the Elf Blood Christmas Presnet, which you can open on December 25th 🙂 Quite looking forward to going home, seeing friends and family, and also writing the script to next year’s first print project: Lemon Candies, a violent allegory of drug addiction and power abuse. I’ve even dusted off an idea I’ve been turning over in my head to be developed into a visual novel, which should be fun to tinker with in my spare time. It’s not quite steampunk, but it does take place turn of the 20th Century  Europe in a universe where gunpowder was never discovered, with magic taking its place. We’ll see how that goes, eh? read more

The weather outside is FRIGHTFUL

by on December 9, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Ahoy thar all, MERRY HOLIDAY TIME! Only half a day of work to get through, then it’s off on me hols. Thoroughly looking forward to the first week of pure art, and then two weeks of catching up with friends and family back up north.

Anyway, just a short update today as I need to finish a sticker for a friend and wrap up presents I need to hand out at work. And it’s 0130 already, boo! Well, I’ll just have to set up a really loud alarm, I guess!

Right, I’m off to fix these things up. Enjoy today’s comic, and I’ll see you Monday! Assuming the UK hasn’t been blown off its moorings by the aptly named Hurricane Bawbag (I’m pretty sure you don’t have to be Scottish to get that one, but I assure you, it’s accurate). read more

Ring a ding, ring a ding!

by on December 1, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

December is here, and thus marks the threshold for me being officially Christmassy!

Now, I’m a grumpy git about it on the run-up: I have strong issues about putting up lights, decorations, shop displays yadda yadda before December. However, as soon as December hits I might as well walk around with a big ol’ Santa hat on! ‘Tis the season and all that, but more important to me is the feeling of love and friendship I get around this time of year (yes, this is going to be one of those posts so barf bags are provided under your seats). read more
