Root Beers #081 - I, Brony

Okay. Here's the item. It was a Tuesday evening, in September 2012, and I've been looking at the fan art and videos of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" for many months. So, I've dediced to take a look at the actual show, myself. So, I've watched the first two episodes and I like it. So, I've scripted this comic, based on one of the sketches from "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus", a few months ago and I've drawn the actual comic, a few weeks ago, and here it is. Enjoy, and live with it, as much as possible, instead of complaining about the rubbish writing.

Root Beers #080 - Problem 7B

Hallo, Eurokatt's here. Well, here I am, recovering, not from this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden (Well done, Denmark, by the way.), but from the postponed proposed closure of the Greek broadcaster of the European Broadcasting Union, ERT, who is the host broadcaster of Eurovision 2006 in Greece. Anyway, as soon as things calmed down, I shall be bringing you my new series of postcards from the seven countries who joined the Eurovision handicap in the Seventies and Eighties. But enough of my problems, here's this week's episode of Root Beers, guest starring the Metropole Orchestra of the Netherlands, who performed the music in Eurovision 1980, hosted at The Hauge, in the Netherlands, To listen to the music, search "Eurovision 1980 - End of transmission 2" on YouTube, click on the link and listen to the fun. It is funky, believe me. And finally, the joke featured is from an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, made by the BBC at the now-defunct BBC Television Centre, who hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 1963. (That's enough, Eurokatt. Love, Al Welch)

Root Beers #079 - it is good to Be BaCk

Good evening, it's nice to be back.
In this new series, there'll be new characters, new Bunnzies, new jokes AND a new masthead, for you to gaze at. There's even a copyright notice at the bottom of the masthead. "Why?", you may ask. Because, people can see the comic, whatever the size it makes. So, here's the first come-back comic, with Ally Bobcat, Robin Day Bunnzie and Tim Tiger, not to be confused with Tiger Tim, a children's comic book character of the mid-1910s to the mid-1930s.

Root Beers #078 - Ransacked!

Since I've returned, here's a lost episode, on which I've tried doing the comic, using fingers on the touchpad of my notebook, from March, this year. In which, Nick Bunnzie and Ally Bobcat inspects the room and find that the old masthead is missing, which is good, because they (and I) were getting fed up with it. Expect the new comic on Saturday, with the new masthead, AND THAT'S A PROMISE!

Newsflush 29/07/2013

To whom it may concern,

Well, you have been waiting many, many months for this, and so, here it is. The return of my classic comic, Root Beers. Months ago, I have found the mis-placed pen from one of the graphic tablets, while tidying my room and so, today, you see this new item in this gallery , along with the missing comic that will come after this newsflush. Well, it has been nearly eleven months since I have done the newsflush, and I'll bet you have been wondering what was happening to me during these lost times. Well, here's the summary, as follows;

1. Planning, writing and illustrating the Farmies book for the Illustration course.
2. Writing and illustrating the Woodlandians (road safety campaign)
3. Bulding and publishing the Woodlandians website.
4. Making a model of a pegasus for 3D.
5. Writing up Memories and Influences.
6. Planning a project with Space, Placemaking and Urban Design (Southampton)
7. Working hard with Basingstoke Gymnastics Club
8. Working hard with Active Nation (Bitterne Leisure Centre)
9. Erm...
10. That's it.

By the way, at about 2 weeks ago, I have finished all my college work and left college, which is quite life-changing, because I have been in this college, for five years, now. From late September, a few weeks after the Special Olympics Summer Games in Bath, I will be progressing to Southampton Solent University in a course for Illustration.

Until the next newsflush, keep calm and read on.

Keep Calm and Read On

Alternative title: I'M BACK!

Well, it's been nearly 12 months since the unexcepted temporay closure, but, I have found the pen, two and a half months ago, and finished all of the college work, and so, here I am, ready to start again. So, wait patiently for the next item.
