Snark Me Sideways!
Well! It would appear, judging from the box of books that awaited me on my return from Southern Climes, that the third and final collection of Snarked! is either out now or about to hit the stores any day. The book was an absolute joy to work on and I'm very proud of it. Please, if you were waiting for the collections, do the decent thing! And tell your friends!

Back from the Back of Beyond
Yes, we're back in London. Yes, we forgot to empty the fruit bowl before we left.

Old
Because I am. It's sometimes hard for me to get my head around the idea that my kids have never played a vinyl record, or known a world without the internet, or had to wait for a TV show to be on and watch it right then because otherwise it would be gone forever.

Fear of Fishing
I'm a bit fish-phobic, which makes me a lousy tour guide in New Zealand. I braved the aquarium for my lovely moppets because I'm a bloody hero.
Oh, and hey! If you're anywhere near Auckland, New Zealand, get along to an exhibition of New Zealand comics (Nga Pakiwaituhi) at St. Paul Street Gallery, School of Art and Design, AUT University. It's curated by Dylan Horrocks and features work by a bunch of NZ-bred ink-mashers, including me.

Rocky!
So, the first issue of the Rocketeer series I wrote, The Hollywood Horror, hit stores this Wednesday. The artwork by J. Bone and Jordie Bellaire is stunning. Stunning, I tell you! And I hope it's as much fun to read as it was to write.
Here are some of the cover roughs I did as ideas for our regular cover guy, the incredible Walter Simonson, to spring off from.
More later, maybe, when they're not so spoiler-y.

Pizza and Chips
Some things about New Zealand have changed drastically while I've been away, whereas some things are the same as they ever were.

The Garden Party
Went around to Corn's again yesterday for a game of Sooth and a glass of wine...

Thin End of the Nostalgic Wedge
In Britain it's well-nigh impossible to find a stretch of road where you can drive at a steady speed without having to stop, and with relatively few people about. Consequently, one of life's simple pleasures is no longer really a part of my life. Making up for lost time while I'm here, though.

Chez Horrocks
Visited Dylan Horrocks and his family yesterday. His kids are a few years older than ours.
