'Finally got around to furthering the exploits of this star-crossed twosome. I very much doubt I'd have even attempted pitching this particular episode to the DFC - as you can see, it's especially untethered!
My wife is worried that I may have a secret Shadowquake side ;) Fabulous stuff - the more untethered the better! (Hey Nelson, weren't you talking about doing one where they visit Shnookie's granny..?)
Not long now, Dave, not long..! Only a couple more episodes to go before Grannie makes her first (and let's face it, probably final) appearance.
And is there a man alive who doesn't have an inner Shadowquake?
Cheers Peter. It was actually the presence of Jamie Smart's strips in the DFC that prompted me to imagine that S&S might have had a home there. There's this unhinged cartoon violence running through a lot of his work, but it's always done in an incredibly sweet, approachable sort of way. Quite a trick. I always loved how the comic would warp into a slightly more demented version of itself whenever Fish Head Steve took over for a page or two.
We're comic creators, writers and artists who are involved in The Phoenix (launching Jan 2012) and its predecessor, The DFC, the innovative British weekly comic published by David Fickling Books from May 2008 - Mar 2009. Here you can meet some of the very best British graphic storytellers, and this blog will share our news, art, comics, events and new projects. Enjoy!
I'd like to think that this would have appeared inn The DFC. Brilliantly barmy stuff.

This is sublime! Long live unhinged cartoon violence, I say...
