Happy Merry Jolly Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope yours was better than mine as I've been ill with flu all Christmas. Cough cough, sniff, wheeze...

Unedited

My editor asked me to change Ollie's arms in the last frame as he was worried that readers might think he's pushed the snowball into his own face. I agreed that it was a bit confusing and to have his hands by his sides would be better. Trouble is, I'd already sent it off so it was too late. Darn, that'll always bug me now!

And the answer is...

"Alien" of course! Here's the reference picture I used.

It's "Guess The Movie" Monday...

Coming to a Funny Page near you soon.

Samples Update

I've added a few new comics to the Ollie and Quentin website samples page. Click here to have a look.

Sunday strip in full

I'm a big fan of Tintin. My favorite adventure is 'Tintin in Tibet'. If you look closely you'll see Ollie is reading it in the drop panel. Quentin is enjoying 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'.

No snow in Spring, Summer or Fall.

I like this one but wrote and sketched it last February so missing the snowy season. It's been burning a hole in my 'to do' pile ever since. Finally it gets its winter viewing.

Sat Nav, Watch and Cash...

...it must be my son's 21st Birthday! Gaaah! Am I really old enough to have a son of 21?!

Champagne Breakfast, Socks and a new Bike...

...it must be my birthday!

Say hello to your neighbors

My mother heard a loud crash near her house. A car crash obviously. It wasn't till the next day when she went outside did she realize it was her car that had been smashed. An idiot (drunk) has rammed into the side of it totally destroying it. The creep then drove off. A neighbor saw this happen and leapt into his car to give chase. He caught the jerk up and managed to get his license plate. He called the police who arrested the moron. My mom didn't find this out till the next day. When I said what a good neighbor this guy is she said she'd never even said hello to him because she "didn't like the look of him". How wrong can you be? She feels awful and is going to pay him a visit with a big box of chocs.
