I've done a new comic

So I've finally got round to printing up copies of my new comic. 'New' being something of an anachronism, seeing as how the some of the stuff inside dates from 2002.

It's called Building Ghosts, and it's 24 whole pages of incomprehensible can't-draw-style belo-fi comix fun, featuring, in no particular order, beatniks, big explosions, dead cats, rock n' roll music, teenage alienation, graveyards, mysterious voices, eerie apocalyptic cityscapes and armed robbery.

I’ll send you a copy for £1.50 (to cover printing & postage), or in exchange for something cool, or for free, or whatever.

Wow, your comics look pretty impressive Yossarian!

If you're ok with the fact that mine are just little photocopied things, then a swap would be great.

Oh, and I don't have any work online at the moment I'm afraid, although I'm working on maybe changing that.

Mr.45 (and his assistant Romantic Rick) who appeared on page 12 of Doom Patrol#42.

You know that's a steal from an early Vic Reeves episode, Rizla?

Ahh! I don't own Doom Patrol or Flex Mentallo 'cause DC sucks! Does someone know of a good website with pictures of these characters for me to reference?

It is??

Buggeration, I must have missed/not seen/forgotten that one..

I was gonna stick Mr. 45 in my comic as part of my continuing search for the most obscure pop culture references imaginable, but this new knowledge makes him seem a bit too recognisable.. Morrison stole stuff from all over the bloody place in Doom Patrol didn't he? Not that that makes it any less great.

I just sent you an email, Captain. You can reach me at pop_majik@hotmail.com

As for content... anything Golden Age. I'm kind of on a golden age high at the moment. So Flash or GL or Dr. Midnight or something.
I've got this great idea for a Rorschach piece...I think I'll go finish the artwork I'm doing right now so that I can start working on it...

I'd draw you a three page experiment. In shocking shades of pink. If you didn't mind, Rizla. )

Mr 45 - comes from the first episode of the TV show. Mr 45 is lowered to a 45 degree angle by Romantic Rick (he's a bit of a ladies man, he wants you to know) and is going to spit 45 peas through the centre of a 45 rpm record, but falls over on the floor. IIRC, he is Graham Lester in diguise.

I agree with you, it doesn't make his inclusion in Doom Patrol any less brillant.
