Make of this what you will. It's all true. Every word of it.

(See below for the actual strip.)

EDIT : To remove redundant linkage.

Can you embed the pics on here please? It just looks like spam when people post links to their blogs, rather than bringing the content over here. Ta.

Interesting, sweet, funny, demented.

Also, extremely self-aware and not filled with too much hate.

Here's hoping you squonk and squelp some more massive tits in the near future. Seems to be good for you.

squonk and squelp

Ah shit, it's at times like this I get all embarrassed and think "I really shouldn't put this stuff out there"...

Glad you enjoyed it though!

Cerys · « **Reply #5 on:** August 10, 2010, 04:46:06 pm »

That was really, really lovely, and anyone who says anything shit about it can fuck right off.

I did a follow up strip but I sent the originals to Barfey, thinking I had copies somewhere but I bloody well haven't. Maybe if we ask him nicely he'll scan and post?

That is one of the most disturbing series of images I have ever seen, well done TC it takes a lot in these jaded days.

EDIT: Just to be clear in the context of the last thread, there's undeniable skill in achieving the style, I mean it's unrelenting textual and visual grotesquery in a good way, Pickman would be envious.

It's like being given too much information by someone, but in pictures.

thepuffpastryhangman · « **Reply #9 on:** August 10, 2010, 10:40:47 pm »

I've consistently praised the pictures, but I'm inclined to ask a non-judgementa...isn't it disrespectful to the people involved?

Zero Gravitas · « **Reply #10 on:** August 10, 2010, 10:44:39 pm »

As in it genuinely being based upon real events?

The idea of TC drawing his own balls and then posting it for critique seems...possible actually.

It's really moving in a strange way.

Again the illustrations are very good, even better when they're more down to earth, but the constant sneering at scum taints it a little (and I'll hold my hand up, I do it too in real life but I'm more of the mindset that letting them prove themselves as vermin in their actions is more entertaining than an observer pointing it out, especially verbally, the things some retards come out with needs no comment, it's fucking so depressing/hilarious all on it's own.)

It's not applicable here but in the others the tendency to Mary Sue a bit too much, be it opinion or commentary can grate a little.

As I say not applicable here as it's (I'm guessing) semi-autobiographical.

This one, I assume?

Nelson Swillie · « **Reply #14 on:** August 11, 2010, 03:49:40 pm »

That's the one. Fucking brilliant isn't it, even though I say so myself.

The Boston Crab · « **Reply #15 on:** August 11, 2010, 05:41:04 pm »

I find these autobiographical ones so much more interesting, funny and touching than any others I've seen.

That said, I'm still going to have to resist temptation to call my first-born Whadduc Fuck. Stuck in my head now.

Still Not George · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2010, 07:25:10 pm »

The bottom left panel of the second strip is one of the most glorious things I've seen in a cartoon in some time.

Nelson Swillie · « **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2010, 03:24:56 pm »

Funny isn't it.

Depressed Beyond Tables · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:57:17 pm »

Touching.

Nelson Swillie · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2010, 03:04:40 pm »

Whadduc Fuck is a cool name for a kid isn't it?

Cerys · « **Reply #20 on:** August 13, 2010, 09:10:11 pm »

Not going to happen.

Lfbarfe · « **Reply #21 on:** August 15, 2010, 07:52:19 pm »

Make it so, Cerys.

Whatever happened to Nelson? I thought he was just starting to enjoy himself a bit here.

No, the BBC are repeating the Goodies. My work here is done.

A good excuse to buy a new pack of blank tapes or discs or whatever people use nowadays.

Cheers for that - I sense impending nostalgia and the education of a new generation.
