Root Beers #142: The Magic of Con

As we approach the end of the second month of 2016 (God, time does fly when you're having fun.), I thought I might see a sort of magic trick that was not quite as everyone expects. This comic was loosely based on one of Spike Milligan's jokes for the Telegoons. And speaking of Spike Milligan, this week's masthead commemoratives the day of his passing in 2002.

Also, a happy belated birthday to Gordon Brown (former GB PM), Anthony Head (actor) and Haruhi Suzumiya (aka Wendee Lee). Sorry, that was a week late. I was working quite hard at University.

Newsflush 22/02/2016

Hello, there. Welcome to my first newsflush of the year 2016.

First, I am doing well on my Illustration course at Southampton Solent University, as I received good markings for an essay concerning contemporary illustrators with an environmental theme, including Daniel Mackie. Search him on Google and you'll know why I liked his artwork.

Also, I'm also expressing how a bit sad I was on hearing some of the greats whose lives have taken by cancer. Those including David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Terry Wogan. Hopefully, one day, some scientist will have found a cure to end all of cancer, for good.

Finally, I'm planning a sort-of art jam on DeviantART and it will be spring-themed, so stick with us.

That's all I could think of. So, until then, buy my stuff at Red Bubble under the name 'rootbeers1992'.

Kind regards,
Al Welch

Root Beers #141: U Madison Avenue?

Don't you ever wish that an advertisement for your favourite coffee brand would be more like this?

Well, it could. (That's what I reckon.)

Masthead celebrates Kurt Cobain's birthday.

Root Beers #140: Valentine for Snacks!

Valentine's Day is among us, I thought to make up a certain comic to advertise a last-minute snack idea for this occasion.
The last panel's a bit satirical, I can tell you.

Root Beers #139: Bore and Peace

In spite of being stuck for ideas, this comic strip parodies a gag from "The Simpsons" which parodies a scene from Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove: Or How Should I Stop Worrying and Love A Bomb". So... this kind of domino theory makes kinda sense. Also, did my best to put a map as a background in. So, kind of a big deal.
