At the very same time John Allison was drawing his guest comic, the Amazing Joe List was also busy capturing my stunning visage in humble ink. Here is a common tale of man and fruit that we all go through 5 times a day.

Joe List is the boy behind the funny book Freak Leap and the scribble blog The Annotated Weekender. For more of Joe you can click the comic for his Flickr or follow him on Twitter where he mostly comes up with stylin’ raps.

John Allison captures all the traits of The Everyday in this “wonderful” tribute. The lack of clothing, the chest hair, the Vimto, the disgruntled housemate, the err… psychological cannibalism, it’s all in there. John drew this touching homage at the latest MCC Drink ‘n’ Draw, a monthly event where all us Manchester based comic types meet up and let loose with the ink.

John is of course the genius behind the magnificent webcomics Bad Machinery and Scary Go Round. Click the image above to see a bigger version on his Flickr. He can also be found proclaiming woe and telling “jokes” on his Twitter.

This strip about my housemate Chris being somewhat foolish echoes an earlier strip about my old housemate Chris being somewhat foolish.

To save you searching through the archives, the comic Kayla is referring to is this one.

Yes, I have gone soppy. Please poke fun at me in the comments below.

Yesterday, Feb 1st, I joined in with the annual Hourly Comic Day challenge for the 4th year in a row of grueling, mind warping comic fun. My comics are here on the official forum, so please head over and have a read.

I tried something different this year and followed the adventures of Little Adam as he spent a thrilling Monday at home. He watched some popular TV shows, ate a Potato Waffle Butty, ran out of Vimto and even inked an Everyday comic. Did I mention it was thrilling?

I haven’t read very many others but the hourly comics of Pranas T. Naujokaitis, John Allison and HCD creator/inventor/mastermind John Campbell are all entertaining reads.

Enjoy.

Chris Madden returns! Kind of. How did he know I was in bed? The answer is: He knows me too well.

Hi, just a note to say that The Everyday is now available from the superb Orbital Comics in London near Leicester Square. All 3 Collections and Glastonbury: A Postcard Book are currently in stock.

I am taking over London, one comic shop at a time, just you wait and see.

I surely did deserve it. Just after this when I managed to get upright and Gary caught up he said he saw me laughing at his shrieking and lifted his hand to where I was in his vision and flicked his fingers. Beware the men of science.

Who’s who?: The big guy in the long coat is of course Gary. Behind him is his housemate Andrew, infront is his brother Scott Lawson and walking next to me is Scott’s son (and Gary’s nephew) Dylan Lawson. I feel I haven’t quite captured Dylan’s likeness that well, so Dylan, if you’re reading, sorry about that, I’ll do better next time.

I should have titled this comic The Lawsons: On Ice!

I didn’t get a clothes horse for Christmas but I did get a ‘Duff beer’ cushioned lap tray which I was quite happy about.
