Somersault – those real men

Thursday, April 7, 2011

Comments Off

Do not adjust your set, yes, Somersault is a little late this week due to unforseen circumstances (rumours abound that this includes a group of penguins dressed as Mexican bandits, a gambling-mad octopus called Fred, a pile of rare Estonian superhero comics and a giant pumpkin; Mr Cowdry refuses to confirm or deny these rumours), [...]

Somersault – more real men

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

Comments Off

There’s more than one type of ‘real’ man and not just the mighty slabs of meat from last week’s strip. Some real men, it transpires, have something of a slight resemblance to 60s superspy Jason King… (Somersault is (c) Richard Cowdry; if you want to reproduce any part of it you should ask him first; [...]

Comments Off

Oh we don’t mean to do it, do we? Listen in on other people’s conversations, I mean.

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

5 Comments

Why, ’twas Mr Charles Chaplin who ate all those pies. Just what happened to the Little Tramp when he started thinking it was more jolly fun to scoff all those cream pies rather than slap them into the faces of his silent movie comedy colleagues? Somersault shows us… (Somersault is (c) Richard Cowdry; if you [...]
