From Down The Tubes, news that Dave Hughes’ Thomas Wogan Is Dead has been picked up by new(ish) publisher Tabella. This is good news, as I rather like Thomas Wogan and said so in the review:
I may have painted a picture of a dour, morbid tale of death and reflection. But Thomas Wogan Is Dead is far from it. It’s funny as well; darkly, uncomfortably quirky style funny for all 72 very satisfying pages. Hughes’ art works a treat for the tale he’s telling; whilst his humans are all grotesques to one degree or another, with Thomas ranging from somewhat creepy to deeply sympathetic and his characterisations of the animals ranging from realistic to intensely caricatured cartooning depending on the mood he wants to portray. But there’s rarely a misstep throughout.
From the looks of things, and from what Dave says on his blog here, it looks even better now, crisper font, nicer design. And even a quote from some idiot reviewer on the back cover.
Tabella are at BICS this weekend, stop by and say hello.
