Thought you lot might be interested to get a sniff of my upcoming 'Last Summer' comic - I started it yonks ago, and it's sat on the back burner for waaay too long. reckon I'll get round to releasing it in the next couple of months.
It's basically a post-apocalypse Huck Finn - what's not to like?
Looks pretty neat eh? Well you'll still have to SHELL OUT HARD CASH to see the rest of it, you BASTARDS!!!
About me:
Dan White is a cartoonist and lllustrator. He has so far published 4 of his own titles, 'Beau & Me', 'Tony is a Werewolf', 'Chrismas with Frank', and 'Wishlist'. Most people who read them seemed to like them. He also created and edited the Horror anthology 'Howl!' with contributions from such fine cartoonists as Danny Noble, Fraser Geesin, Nelson Evergreen, Ai Takita-Lucas, Akiko Tamura, Tim Lepard, Daniel Locke, and Paul O'Connell, (whose 'Sound of Drowning' is the best comic in the world, incidentally). He has also contributed to the anthologies 'Escape from january', 'Paper Tiger' and 'Failedrockstar'.

Torpedo fiction quarterly mark the 25th anniversary of the death of author Richard Brautigan with a special tribute issue co-edited and with a foreword by Richard Brautigans daughter Ianthe Brautigan.
The special issue features Brautigan inspired fiction from 30 writers, a section of Brautigans own writing in the middle plus a specially designed envelope containing 8 full colour A5 double-sided prints featuring artwork based on his stories. One of which prints is a comic strip by myself, using Richard Brautigans own text, called 'The Library'.

Volume 2!
Last year the first volume of this "collection of illustrations inspired by lyrics from those songs that get stuck in your head all day" was a great success and people had a lot of fun interpreting their favourite lyrics!
You can download the first volume as a free pdf here:

So the time seemed ripe for a Volume 2!
The specs are the same; artwork should be A5 300 dpi. As well as a limited edition artbook of the project there will also be another free pdf of the book, which has been downloaded by a good thousand people so far.
So give vent to those earworms and get sending those submissions to the contact details on this page:

Hey Dan, I'm gutted about missing your drinking-do tommorrow - my mum and the kids are going to be in Hastings on a Haven caravan holiday (I think it's a bit like Butlins)and I've promised to join them for the wekend. So while you're all having fun I'll be behind a caravan in Hastings - getting touched up by an alcohlic children's entertainer-(hopefully). Catch you for a drink before you go. xxx
Thanks to yourself and Fraser for the feedback and buying copies of soda even though you can get them for free! Exciting to hear too about your future plans - I like the way your mind works - Duck Season, Rabbit Season will I'm sure be fantastic. Funnily enough I ended up dreaming last night that a series of old loony tunes came on TV in between programmes (like the old days) and I was having a great time watching them.
"I realize that I could change the course of my life by a single action. To shut out the world, and solve all my difficulties at a stroke, I had the simplest of weapons, my own front door. I needed only to close it, and decide never to leave my house again." [The Enormous Space, 1989]
