But your additional blogs on other artists and their endeavours make for fascinating reading whilst we wait for new material.

...Ohhhhh... guys - you're really too, too kind.<br /><br />But thanks so much for all the kind words and Dave the desk only "looks tidy", in the foreground was a steaming bowl of porridge and to the right are the piles of McLoughlin paperbacks I'm scanning for a friend, unpaid bills, cds; Stone Roses, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Velvet Underground, Patti Smith and Count Arthur Strong and DVDs including seasons I and 2 of Madmen and that wonderful French TV series The Spiral and the very wonderful French film "Mesrine".<br /><br />So it's all an illusion really.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-64901595083061865172010-03-31T11:50:35.074+01:002010-03-31T11:50:35.074+01:00Web comics are all very well but I must say that n...Web comics are all very well but I must say that nothing beats good old fashioned print. Looking at those Cloud 109 print-outs is quite mouth-watering - not least because of the impression of sheer scale they give, evoking memories of classic American Sunday pages like Little Nemo and Prince Valiant, or else oversized comics such as Raw and certain issues of the Acme Novelty Library (not to mention our own Topper and Beezer). Maybe I'm just a tabloid junkie at heart but I'm afraid that size really does matter for me when it comes to the world of comics so that from now on, even if economics dictate that we'll never actually see such a version for sale in WH Smiths or Borders, I'll always think of that larger-than-life manifestation as Cloud 109's ideal format.<br /><br />...Or to put it another way: WOW!!! :)Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-3054675361569865632010-03-31T10:49:51.033+01:002010-03-31T10:49:51.033+01:00Btw - how come your desk is so much tidier than mi...Btw - how come your desk is so much tidier than mine or Leo's?Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-3935440884557746572010-03-31T10:41:01.361+01:002010-03-31T10:41:01.361+01:00Hey - I have the same phone as you! :-) Very much ...Hey - I have the same phone as you! :-) Very much looking forward to the website.Garenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235615048579159984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-41547059035214585082010-03-31T10:14:28.203+01:002010-03-31T10:14:28.203+01:00"I know you don't get out of the house mu..."I know you don't get out of the house much..." ROFL - my favourite line so far.<br /><br />It's been great getting these freebie installments, but you are right, Peter - 25 pages is enough to know, as I'm sure many hundreds of readers do by now, that I'll be very happy to buy the books as soon as they are ready. In fact, I wonder if it's worth considering the Marillion model, where eager followers subscribe to the books now, knowing that their contribution is helping you and David to complete the work?<br /><br />Btw I had exactly the same experience as you wrt Creepy and Eerie - surely the most effective teaser ads in the entire history of literature!Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.com
