Semiotic Cohesion Comics & Art

Not to be outdone by that scoundrel Sebastian, and having finally relented to the earnest requests of Mr. Mike Rouse-Deane, I went and did a thing for his glorious Guest Strip Project. It's all for charity, I am told. Charity, says science, is one of the most sexiest activities that a young man can enjoy, next to rock-climbing.

So sex up this shit, everyone:

Additional! I have just booked a somewhat pricey trip to Inverness to join in the maybe-fun and maybe-excitement that might be Hi-Ex. According to their exhibitor's list, we are "the producer of some rather bizarre yet very entertaining anthology comics." I think that's fair.

So it's on the 14th - 15th of February and if you like Scotland, you should go there and we can hang out and you can tell me all about your stupid day.

Oh, Christ and I forgot to tell anyone at all, but I'm also going to be at this thing here, which is free, to be found in London ('round Euston) and happens on the 1st of February. Many fine Semiotic Cohesion products will be available for you and your loved ones. Keep them close, never let them leave.

Sincerely,
Tom McNally

Oh, there you are!

Everything's going to be okay. You can come out now. I've got this comic here for you. It's from our third comics anthology and it's called 'Horse At The End Of The World.' It was drawn by the stupendously charming Nandi Williams, who will shock you to the core with her attractiveness.

It was printed in fantaglorious black and white with early 2008-era equipment. Despite knowing the limits of our feeble techomancy, Nandi drew it in colour anyway because she gets carried away like that. Her results were most excellent and I super-promised her that I'd put the colour version up on the website some day where people could maybe make it a desktop wallpaper if they were suitably impressed. But I got carried away myself on telling Sebastian to put up a new Snake Powers post and, well, here it is.

Sebastian and I came up with the script at a Bonfire Party. I think that maybe there aren't enough Bonfire Parties. A bonfire can really pep a party up to extreme levels. You can think a lot about horses when you're partied up so extremely like that.

Okay, here's the comic. Click to go to a magical realm where the picture is bigger.

Splash!



End!

Oh no! I forgot to charge up my camera. That is going to cost me points.

Sincerely,
Tom McNally

P.S ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Here is a picture taken by one Michaela Verity of me and Sebastian -hours away- from coming up with this comic.

You can't see it in the picture, but I was holding a pick-axe and Sebastian was holding a shovel. It was that kind of party.

Hey guys, I did this! It will be the backing for the next six months of Shark Of Wisdom. I think it is funny, don't you?

I must nod to this handy receipt maker for an authentic-looking heading. Thanks, website!

My brother got kidnapped in Cambodia yesterday. I can't wait for him to update his blog with the whole story.

I'll have some comics for you, the internet, next time. There will be horses.

Sincerely,
Tom McNally

Brice Reignier, that thrice-lovely man who toils hard on many Semiotic Cohesion products, up to and not excluding the Shark Of Wisdom comics, just sent me a ker-azy remix of his cover for the upcoming fifth issue of our comics anthology.

Let me show it to you right now!

Other news: The ominous promises of an entirely rehauled website are going to be set aside for the time being, but do not pretend, oh reader, that the thought of a more beautiful and functional website where you can buy all of our fine Semiotic Cohesion productchilds does not burn through my brain every day. It has burned there every day since about 2001. I am a patient man.

Sebastian is currently out in the woods, possibly putting the first words down on the very first The Ancient Shark Of Despair book. It's going to be a rewriting and rejiggering of the first few months of the blog, October 2006 - January 2007, which are looking a bit embarrassing these days. We aim to fix that! Anyway, I'm on editing duties and I shall do my best to maintain continuity and the correct levels of sadness, mirth, spelling. Sebastian has said quite a few times that this book will be so gigantically awesome that it will split him into several new people. I believe him. I think I saw this book in his eyes when I first met him at Newlands train station an indeterminate number of years ago. I think he was eating chips at the time?

Other news: Hey, there's a fifth comics anthology comic coming out, you know? I know the site only says that three exist but the site is a filthy liar most of the time.

Okay, I've got to go write some TASOD before I go to bed. I'll be back soon. Don't worry.

Sincerely,
Tom McNally

NEXT: Some comics.

artfully depicts two men wrestling until they become undone. On sale at Obsfest, OBVIOUSLY.

This is the comic that it is taken on:
