Hello readers!

To celebrate the release of The Everyday Collection Two (now available in the Store) I am running 2 competitions. Here’s the skinny:

COMPETITION 1!

Win a copy of The Everyday Collection Two by answering this question:

How many times do I appear topless in the first 100 strips of The Everyday?

COMPETITION 2!

I like drawing my own face. I also like comic artists. Below I have drawn my face in the style of 6 of my favourite comic artists. Can you guess which 6 artists I am lamely imitating? If you can you will win a copy of all 12 The Everyday minicomics which are now out of print (issue 12 will still be on sale until I run out of stock).

You only get one guess at each competition, please leave your answers in the comments. Entries are allowed from all over the whole entire world.

There is little that can match the primal fear of being shouted at by a 7 foot Giraffe drinking cider.

The 2nd collection of The Everyday will be released at this Saturday’s Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds. The mighty 40 page tome collects strips 51 through 100 plus bonus strips and a covers gallery. I’ll be holding 2 compititions next week, one to win a copy of Collection Two and one to win a copy of all 12 minicomics before they go out of print! But until then here’s more about the show.

Thought Bubble launched last year associated with the Leeds International Film Festival and was a great show, the organisers really supported the small press artists and there was a friendly buzz to the whole day (there were even cupcakes with superhero rings on them!). This year the event has grown and will now take over the Royal Armouries’ Saville’s Hall (named after Leeds’ Jimmy Saville) for a day and they’ve packed in loads of great events and panels plus attracted some big comic names (anyone heard of Mark Millar?). I know a lot of the UK comics scene are looking forward to this show, especially after a confusing experience at this year’s Birmingham Show (note my lack of con report). I’m kind of annoyed I’ll miss most of it sat behind my table but at least I get to go to the after party in A CASINO.

I’ll be sharing with the talented imp Lizz Lunney, and we’ll be sat next to or even between Liz “I’m on a panel” Greenfield and Marc “I’m on 2 panels, yeah?” Ellerby.

Head on over to Ellerbisms for some classic drunk Cadwell way back at the Bristol Comic Expo. And I have a feeling there’s more on the way…

At least I think it was Shemini Atzeret. If I’ve gotten the wrong Jewish festival and I’ve unknowingly offended your entire faith, please let me know.

They were gold and very sparkly.

I’ve also made an appearance already in a panel about the UK Web & Mini Comix Thing back in March. Marc draws us in exactly the same spot as The Everyday 11 cover and captures our witty sales banter perfectly. You can catch us both in a very similar position at the Thought Bubble festival in Leeds on Nov 15th.

In other news, The Everyday Collection One is officially endorsed by indie comic master Alex Robinson!!!

I can only apologise for the lack of new comics since last Monday, things have been getting busy at my day job and last Thursday and this Monday just flew by. I hope this little effort was worth the wait (probably not).
