Wellington comic series. Issue 4, pages 1-7 plus back cover. The trick to drawing Heidi is first to design a character that is impossible to draw then fail repeatedly until giving up and accepting this is her character. #comics

Wellington comic series. Issue 3 pages 6-10. Background lore: there is a cheese themed cafe in Featherston and it’s good. #comics

Wellington comic series. Issue 3: Whitefoot Flats. Pages 1-5. When I wrote this comic, wool prices were awful, but now they’re rising because plastic fibre is garbage. Funny how things change. #comics

Wellington comic series. Issue 2. Pages 7-11. Every year I look back at how I well I drew a year ago and say ‘what a numpty’ and then get annoyed when I see myself 1 year in the future with a smug smirk. #comics

What’s this money going to be used for? Reinvesting in infrastructure or fugly McMansions in Queenstown?

Wellington comic series. Issue 2. Every character I design continues to change for ~25 pages and then tend to find their true form. This happens even with dozens of character sketches before I begin the comic. #comic

Don’t get me wrong I want nothing more than collective courage here. Young folks need to join the nearest IRL community that suits them ASAP and I’d very much love more older folks to treat the well-being of younger folks as an intrinsic part of their own self preservation.

Is it the first time a generation has wilfully put their grandchildren in a deeper unemployment rate than the Great Depression?

Wellington comic series. Issue 1 pages 9-12. If you like comics by odd people go to your local library and see if they have a zine section. There you will find what you need. #comics
