Thunder Brother: Soap Division

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

0 Comments

Paul Rainey, who created the brilliant Book of Lists (which still makes me chuckle) and the superb There’s No Time Like The Present series, has just started a brand new webcomic this week, Thunder Brother: Soap Division. He is deliberately not telling us much about it for fear of spoiling it – we’ll need to [...]

Saturday, August 27, 2011

0 Comments

Split Lip is a website dedicated to putting writer Sam Costello’s stories online. I haven’t the time right now to look at many of them, but what I have looked at is at least worthy of a little attention at some point. The reason I first heard of it was because David Hitchcock has some [...]

Here you go: A Korean webcomic to frighten the life out of you, or at least give you a damn good fright. Don’t worry about the words, they don’t matter. Go to the site, speakers up loud, start scrolling down. It’s all over the Internet like a rash. Saw it via roughly 20 people at [...]

What Is Katy? A simple webcomic?

Saturday, August 20, 2011

0 Comments

I reviewed the first print comic by N Gingerboom yesterday – the lush, full colour fantasy tale of Those Of No Class. But whilst looking at N’s website I came across another really interesting strip – What Is Katy? It’s a complete shift from Those Of No Class, but in its way, rather more immediately [...]

New from Sonia Leong… FujoFujo!

Sonia Leong, artist on Manga Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, and part of the UK Manga studio Sweatdrop has an interesting new webcomic starting up … it’s called FujoFujo! and it’s all about a normal girl who has moved into a house full of female otaku. I’m assuming that’s otaku as in the Urban Dictionary definition - “Usually [...]

Donna Barr, a great comic artist, author of Stinz, The Desert Peach, has a great website full of some wonderful books she wants you to buy and some fanatstic webcomics.

One of my favourite contemporary science fiction authors, Australia’s own Marianne de Pierres, tells me that she’s managed to scratch two itches for the price of one, satisfying an urge to dabble in comics (previously as well as her excellent science fictionnovels her work has also inspired gaming and animation) and a very long held [...]

Hipster Hitler removed from Facebook (UPDATED)

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

5 Comments

Apparently Facebook have removed the Hipster Hitler webcomic’s page – the site doesn’t say why, I’m guessing some total eejit complained and tried to claim they were glorifying Nazis or some similar load of tosh. Also guessing whoever did complain never read the strips and realised they were comedy and not a recruitment page for [...]

Jamie Smart’s Corporate Skull – catch up time!

Sunday, May 8, 2011

Comments Off

I must say, Jamie Smart’s Corporate Skull is just the sort of webcomic I really like; it’s short, sweet and punchy. And funny, very, very funny. It’s not that I’m averse necessarily to long form webcomics, it’s just that in practise, I find I never have time to keep up with them. But Jamie’s Corporate [...]

The Polar Bear: Comics From My Cardboard Life By Philippa Rice I’ve talked about Phillipa Rice’s comics before a few times on the FPI Blog, and safe to say I thought they were rather good: “My Cardboard Life starts out as cardboard, paper and scrap material collages featuring Cardboard Colin, Paper Pauline and a host [...]
