She blasts off into space [...]

15. November 2009
I’ve been following Mike Smith’s Blogshank blog for quite a while now. It’s never less than a wry, gentle smile of a strip, often a full on smile and sometimes, just like the example above – absolutely hilarious. We’ve all had that Ikea moment, and many of us have suffered the inevitable marital strife that [...]

Last weekend, the Observer/Cape Graphic Short Story prize was announced. Our post on it is here, together with rather a lot of comments.
