Actually that pretty much sums up my state of mind right now: I must be insane! I’m struggling to get an exclusive Jambo story and an NAS collection printed off with only one more night before I leave for The Thing this weekend!
I really hope some of you decide to come down, it’d be awesome to meet you (and it’d let me know I’m not the only one who sees this once it’s posted!) and there’s gonna be a lot of people more talented than me in attendance!
I’ll be back on Monday with a bit of a con write up and a new update!
See you then!
Stay tuned!

Here we go again! Here’s the full version!
So yesterday we got a review from Kevin Church over at BeaucoupKevin.com which is awesome, and I thank him for his kind words! Just for Kev here’s another one of those “occasionally odd webcomic moments!” where you guys have to click in an external window… I guess I should really figure out a way of making this website a bit more flexible (or just stop drawing such big pages!)
The Thing is next weekend so I’m begining to freak out that nothing’s ready! Actually that’s not true, I’ve got a bunch of stuff left to do that is easily accomplished in a week and my books have been delivered so I should be fine! No doubt I’ll have completely changed my mind about this on Thursdays post!
NAS has a new comic so hope you like that too and I’ll be back later in the week!

Oooooh! New issue = New colour scheme! Waddya think? I just started playing around with how I colour the pages and tried to make better use of my tablet, I’m gonna keep it up for this issue just so it doesn’t look weird when I come to get the book done but who knows I might switch again!
The final installment of A Quiche Too Far begins properly today! I hope you guys are as excited about what’s coming up as I am… it’s really hard for me to keep my mind focused on this issue at the minute because I’ve got the next ten years or so of continuity roughly plotted in my head in order to make Remnants work! Which reminds me, I must start work on that again soon!
Anyway, hope you like the page and I shall be back on Monday with the next thrilling installment!
Stay tuned!

So that’s it for the interlude!
Here we go again with the cover to issue #4 which is the finale of our first storyline! I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I’ve enjoyed writing/drawing it! As you’ll know from last weeks updates it’s been a long time in the making!
Make no mistake this is far from being the end but this issue will change everything you thought you knew about the series!
That’s the sales pitch over… NAS updated today and be back here on Thursday where things kick off!
Stay tuned!

Ok so as the last of the “filler” before we get into issue #4 I thought I’d share the first ever cover of The Mighty Jambo. Way back in 2003 (I think) I started drawing up a nonsense superhero comic while going through a pretty terrible time; I’d been mugged at knifepoint, my flat had been burgled 3 times and then set on fire!
So this was my escapism, I’d just sit down and draw whatever I felt like and it turned into a silly comic about a kid with power over jam! As you can see I was a bit of a Spider-man fanboy at the time! So anyway thought I’d end this little respite with a bit of a history lesson for you guys!
I’ll be back on Monday with NAS and the start of Issue #4! The final chapter of my first storyline! Bom bom bom!
Stay tuned!

Continuing my hiatus… here’s another business card image, I dunno I might stick this on a poster or T-shirt at some point? Meh!
NAS has also updated today, with a proper comic no less!
Normal service will resume a week today!
Stay tuned!
~G
Not what you were expecting right? I did this design a while back and it’s now on some of my business cards!
So yeah, I’m thinking now might be a good time to take a week off for con preparations and to rebuild a bit of a buffer so I’m not caught short! I’m not gonna leave you without updates in the meantime, they’ll just be a bit different than regular comics… think of it as bonus material!
NAS will continue to update normally and regular service here will resume shortly!
I feel quite bad doing this already so I hope you don’t mind me dragging things out a little longer in order to preserve some of my sanity!
Please stay tuned!

So here we are at the end of issue 3! Considering I stopped the original run of these comics just before breaking up from uni for the summer fully intending to quickly redo the first four issues and catch myself up over the summer and resume work on issue 8 with noone any the wiser. I should point out that this was back in 2004… I may have underestimated how much work was involved in this scheme!
But at the same time I’m glad I did it. Partially because the first four issues as they stood were godawful (some of you will remember the old website and just how terrible those pages were) and partially because of how much I’ve redefined the story and the characters along the way. Or at least I think so… what about you guys? Any thoughts on the story so far?
If you’d rather let me know in person then you can head on down to The Thing in March where you’ll be able to purchase some of my work and maybe even get some free stuff!
I’m gonna get down off my soapbox now! I’ve updated NAS today if you’re interested and I’ll be back here on Thursday when we kick off the final installment of our first storyline!
Stay tuned!
