The Intercorstal 683: Pages 18-22 (Strontium Dog)

This series of images is from one of the sequences in The Intercorstal: 683, a comic created in celebration of the British anthology comics that got me hooked on comics back when I was a very impressionable 9 years old.

My students' abstract comics pages for 2015. These kids are 14 yrs old and produce this final work as a lino-block print.

My minicomic "Alcoholalia," 2004.

A remix of a Maakies comic by Tony Millionaire, done with Mr. Millionaire's permission.  Done entirely in Microsoft Paint, from a pretty lo-res version of the strip (this was 2004, after all) I downloaded from the Maakies website.  It's also been available at UbuWeb but in a slightly mangled format I've never been able to get them to fix.  I'd rather have it seen properly, so I'll post the entire thing here.  

And here is the original Maakies strip:

Here is an old review of Alcoholalia by Derik Badman, who later started making his own abstract comics and ended up contributing to the Abstract Comics anthology.
