It seems that the "sour grapes" post has received quite a lot of attention, probably the most commented upon post i've had. Anyway, i want to draw a line under it now; while i stand by the things said, and i know that other people agree with them, perhaps to single out a certain comic was a little unfair. After all, there is a lot of stuff out there that doesnt appeal to me (choosing words carefully) and i suppose in a way its healthy that there is different stuff out there. My frustration comes most of all in that there doesnt seem an easy way to get your products seen and give the punter an informed choice. Who is this punter anyway? it seems most sales i make at cons are to other makers, who knows. anyway, hopefully the catalogue idea will work, and i'm getting a lot of traffic through the website, although i still need to stick the anthology on there and get paypal sorted, which im gonna do when i get broadband, because dear friends i have coped with frustratingly slow dialup for a long time, and i will finally be entering the 20th century next week.
ethel sparrowhawk is rumbling on, and i should have some finished pages to preview soon (i hope so, its got to be finished in three weeks).

if you wanted to send some stuff up to manchester, i could drop it off at the Travelling Man up here? spread your wings n'that.
that goes for anyone else actually. if i can help i will.
cheers mush, 'ppreciate it. why do you always leave two messages?
god knows
i always publish the comment before remembering something else.
Got a link to that shortlisted comic you think's crap? I haven't seen it.
But you are right, 90% of the stuff at them Cons i've been to with you is fucking balls. Especially 'Dark' and those two sisters who get a load of attention because they have tits.
Nevermind, I found it. It's fucking horrible.
now your with the two messages. whats that about? (smug stand up comic voice).
Dark is good.

To km above, let me qualify:
Dark's art has promise, until whichever sister it is starts trying to draw people. The World doesn't need another badly drawn faux Manga style comic about how someone's sat in a dark room with some guy and smoked a J. It's fucked badly executed and a cliche.
Like pretty much all the UK small press stuff. Most that i've seens in either the above style or a penny Arcade rip off. Which is fine if you want to circle jerk with other book creators at various Cons throughout the year but no-one else is going to take notice or take it seriously.
/rant
lets not have more slagging off of small press comics please, unless its by me, and let it be said that i dont associate myself with those comments by my estranged bro (paul) and although i am aware of dark, ive never looked at it properly.
This subject does seem to roll on.
That Ethel Sparrowhawk's a bit rubbish. Not very realistic. Who has a nose like that? Losers.
dont you start, von schindelberg, if that is your real name, which it isnt.
