CHEMICAL TOILET VERSUS 'THE BARON' (ANDREW WAUGH)


More 24-minute nonsense from me, this time trying to make something hilarious and touching from the themes "chemical toilet" and "the baron". This lost strip - found amongst a bounty of strips at Travelling Man - was done some time ago, but missed being posted on my regular site. Enjoy!

THE COOLEST MONKEY IN TOWN (MIKE THOMPSON)


More monkeys, more bottoms.

Mike Thompson is one part of the two-headed beast that first spawned the Paper Jam Comics Collective. He claims to be a comics reader not a comics doer, but almost every meeting produces a 24-minute comic that makes me laugh.

This be one of them.

ADVENTURES OF A SMOOTH MONKEY'S BOTTOM (MARTIN NEWMAN)


Here's a strip from Paper Jam member and all-round lovely bloke Martin Newman. It was part of the same pool of strips as the last posting, so I'm thinking the words were "smooth" and "monkey's bottom".

Martin is a regular face at the meetings and always does something great during the 24-minute comic sessions, but hasn't posted anything he's done yet. Martin - get to it!

SMOOTH AS A MONKEY'S BOTTOM (BEN CLARK)


Another beauty of a 24-minute comic from Ben Clark, rescued from behind the counter at Travelling Man. This one was so long ago that I don't remember the themes that were drawn out of the hat. I think they were "smooth" and "monkey's bottom", but I can't be sure.

Anyone?

DUCKETT JAMS IT OUT (MIKE DUCKETT)


This lovely item was created by Mike Duckett at one of the meetings, and until I figure out how the ruddy hell to give him posting capabilities, I'll be representing his efforts.

Mike says: "Drawn at the end of the Paper Jams session, ideas for a comic I hope to do in 2010 about Thomas Spence"

EYEBROWS CLOWN (ANDREW WAUGH)


This one's from the last meeting, taking off from the words, you guessed it, "eyebrows" and "clown". We had a few combinations to choose from this time and I had initially started work on a strip themed "doctor" and "parody", but it was shit, so I started this one. A heartwarming story, I'm sure you'll agree.

Technically that makes this a 18 minute comic or something. Do I get extra points for that?

SUGAR GLIDER (GARY BAINBRIDGE)

A bit of a break from the 24 minute comics here, this is the result of learning about Sugar Gliders earlier in the week and reading a couple of graphic novels by the wonderful Darwyn Cooke. For those of you keeping score, the comics in question were The Spirit and Parker: The Hunter, which is possibly the most satisfying comics adaptations from a novel I've read. You really should invest.

So understandably, a marsupial themed, Darwyn Cooke inspired superhero appeared in my sketchbook during that comics night.

CITIZEN SHANE (BEN CLARK)

Another 24 minute comic using the random phrase Doctor Parody. It didn't occur to me at the time that not everyone has seen Citizen Kane!
