Unfinished for Good Friday, you say...

This is the original, unfinished and unreleased version of Root Beers #37a.
The main differences between this and the finished version in the last post are this.

• Uncoloured
• "Crosses for You" and "Props made while you wait" written in Hebrew.
• Israeli caps being worn.
• A reference of Mel Gibson, and
• "Pascha Domus Q" means "Easter on House Q", a reference of Avenue Q, in Latin.

So, that is the original, unfinished and unreleased comic. Please don't kill over the prices for the eggs at Hotel Chocolat. Good day.

Four Specials in Four Days?

Hello, there. And a happy Easter to you all. I've done a lot of work to face one major problem - I'm writing all of that and no-one's reading (Awwwww...). Anyhow, I'm here to present to you these four special strips celebrating Good Friday, St. George Day and Easter Days. First off, here's the Good Friday strip in its revised coloured glory. I'll put up the original, unfinished version on this blog, later.
Root Beers #37a - Friday 22rd April 2011 - Good Friday

Root Beers #37b - Saturday 23rd April 2011 - By George!
Dedicated to the memory of Elisabeth Sladen
Root Beers #38a - Sunday 24th April 2011 - Hare Egghead
Root Beers #038b - Monday 25th April 2011 - Creme Yegg

So, there you have it. The four specials celebrating the four special days. Hope you had a Good Easter. Hope you don't eat your chocolate eggs all in one go. Toodles.

Avenue Q Review

Last night's performance at The Mayflower, Southampton has been bought to you by the letters A, V, E, and Q and by the numbers 7 and 2, but those numbers aren't really necessary, although. I'm talking about "Avenue Q", the musical that everyone was talking about. It was extremely hilarious that I thought some of my senses might explode. There was so many funny scenes, that I can't explain any. There are songs that I laughed at, including "If You Were Gay", "The Internet is for Porn" and "The Money Song". Also, there are songs that are quite sad, really. "A Fine, Fine Line" and "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" are simply enough to make me weep, in my mind. Apart from all that, the play was really great (apart from the puppet sex scene which was really weird). Everyone laughed, laughed and laughed some more. It was so good, that I think they should make it into a good direct-to-video film. You know, like "Joseph" and "Cats", etc. So, when you need a purpose for black comedy with puppets and humans, go see "Avenue Q" and laugh at your purpose!

Thank you.

Mistakes are made...

I'm so sorry, that I did not manage to do any updates for a few weeks or so. But, it'll make it clear soon. Starting with No.40 - The comic will be on this blog the same day as DeviantART. Just thought, you'll like to know. In a meantime, here's a picture of Rocky Rickaby (from Lackadaisy by Tracy J. Butler), smiling creeply. (As usual.)
Hope everything's okay with me, because I'm going to see Avenue Q at The Mayflower, Southampton, tonight. Until then, see you soon.
