Hey everyone! Got a lot of stuff to be cracking on with, so I’m just going to love you and leave you with this very brief blog post. Have a great one, and remember Monday’s page is a bit of Extra filler while I’m on holiday (again!)
Ciao for now!

Welp, I’ve come to the end of another holiday week – Let’s see how I’ve done this time!
I think I also deserve a feckin medal for surviving the drinking session on Wednesday evening – met up with some old school friends at a bar one of them now owns. I have not drank like that since leaving Manchester – probably since leaving uni. 4 double rums and cokes and a shot of Jaegermeister. Bloody hell. Just about staggered to the taxi and into my house. ASIANS WERE NEVER MEANT TO DRINK LIKE THIS.
Hola mes amigos y amigas! Sorry today’s page was a wee bit late, I must’ve fallen asleep at some point just before finishing it… Such is the life of the artist by night, I’m afraid.
Well, it’s another holiday week, so as is tradition, here is a list of things for me to fail at!
Hullo everyone – well, the world hasn’t quite ended yet, but I’m sure the newly assembled forces of darkness are hard at work trying to get there, so let’s just crack on in the meantime.
Just a wee reminder about me and my friends’ new project, The Gallus Geeks, a cross-media collective of Glasgow-based nerds. We’ve been putting out a few videos as of recent, and if you tune in to our YouTube channel tonight (sometime around 8 or 9 GMT) you’ll get to see me, Gavin, and Kirsteen play some Alien Isolation! Kirsteen’s been playing a lot of it, as you’ll see from the channel, but me and Gavin are complete newbs at it, so much screaming and pants-wetting terror will abound, I’m sure!
In the wake of the xenophobia and general arseholery arising as a result of Brexit, the Trump Presidency, and what I fear is an imminent fascist victory in France, I’ve come to a decision – I can either continue complaining and getting angry about bigotry, or I can try and do something about it.
I’m not a journalist. I’m not a counsellor. I’m not in any position of power. But I have a pen, and I can tell stories – and if I can bring peoples’ stories to the fore, to document the conflicts and the impacts it are having on people personally, and to record the crisis of humanity this is inflicting upon us, then I’ll do whatever I can.
Really, America? You actually went ahead and did it?
I feel sorry for the people over there who have had their worst fears confirmed.
I feel sorry for the people over there who now worry that they will be attacked.
I feel sorry for the people over there who HAVE been attacked.
I feel sorry for the people over there who don’t even realise they’re next.
2016. What a pile of shit this has been.

Hola everybody, don’t really have all that much to say today, so it’s just going to be a quick wee post! Have a great week, everyone, and I’ll catch you again on Friday!
Cheerio for now!

Hey gang! Frankly, I’m amazed that I somehow managed to get this page completed for today, given how busy this week’s been. It’s not the BEST page I’ve ever done, but at least it keeps the flow going, and I won’t start off the weekend feeling grumpy that I’d let you all down!
I WAS originally going to have something a little more plausible for panel 1, but then I thought “No, this is a science-fantasy action comic. Go for the spectacle, adherence to ultra realism isn’t this comic’s bag.” I think it turned out alright. Perhaps it stretches your willing suspension of disbelief a bit more than if Merope simply stood on top of of one of the guns, but it’s certainly a much more entertaining visual, I believe!
Hola, peeps!
As the number of concurrent projects that I’m working on predictably increases, I now begin to wonder – can I reliably use my lunch break at work to get any work done? I’ve done so before, when I was composing music for the Gallus Geeks videos, and I’ve been (sporadically) doing Inktober this month. Surely if I, say, wanted to write more music (as I don’t use a MIDI keyboard for input), I would be able to leverage my available time more usefully than browsing Reddit and Twitter?
Hey everyone, sorry, another quick post here as I need to be up early – Hope you all had a great weekend, and you have a great week ahead! See you all again on Friday!
M.
