Every week the brilliant Phoenix Comic drops through my letterbox. Every week I shall be sharing a few things that caught my eye….
This week it’s issue 61, featuring the return of James Turner’s space bound farce Star Cat, as featuring the menace of Allem….
Turner’s Star Cat is just 2-pages long, but his pace and delivery is so fast that the punchlines keep on coming, and I’m chortling all the way through. Behold, the menace that is Allen…..
And whilst we’re talking chortles, how about the opening panel from Jamie Smart’s Bunny Vs Monkey?
The ridiculousness of Pig and Squirrel comparing their spring sunflowers is matched and raised by Skunky’s shock announcement….
But it’s not all out and out gaggery in The Phoenix, and here’s Nick Abadzis’ Cora’s Breakfast to show you some of the adventure you’ll find (although even that has a gag on the page that followed this)….
You can pick up copies of The Phoenix comic each week from a host of great comic shops, including our own, from Waitrose, from a number of other outlets (see here on the Phoenix site) and through subscription. Full details at the Phoenix website.
