I’ve gone a little cartoonier than usual with these two mini strips. I’d like to think if Ellerbisms was a newspaper comic strip it might look something like this.

Here’s a lovely photopicturegraph of Marc and Anna at Milestones:

And if you don’t know the song Marc is “singing” then here’s a scruffy video of the full song from Youtubes:

Our comic big success!

Thankfully, quite a few people came by the table on the Sunday after reading the free comic and bought our stuff, so the tatty rag did serve it’s purpose in the end.

This is the final Stockholm strip I’m afraid, back to Manchester based hijinks on Thursday, or next week, or whenever.

I don’t know why I turn into Mister Funnyman at dinner with friend’s parents, later in the weekend I burst out singing the Rainbow theme song for very little reason, but here I was bested by Tomas Petterson. It was a delightful evening that spawned numerous catchphrases and funny motions; Lizz’s angry dinosaur impression and Gunnel’s looking for her glasses motion shall never be forgotten. Thank you Tomas and Gunnel for your hospitality and generosity.

(I may have drawn Matt slightly larger than he really is but Lizz is actually that small.)

I was incredible excited and exasperated all at once.

The tall gentleman who spotted the theme park first would be Mr. Matt Sheret, a fine writer whom I got to know better that weekend, and whose site I shall link you to right now.

Polaroids are used in this comic not for any pretentious reasons but because Liz Greenfield was wielding a chunky instant camera throughout the weekend and if you have a dig through Matt’s site you’ll find he’s quite fond of them too. Here’s two of my favourites from Liz of us all eating strawberries in the Kungstragarden (King’s Garden) including one I used for reference in the comic:

If you squint at the first panel me and John kinda look like a two headed comic drawing monster. John is, of course, the genius behind Scary-Go-Round, you should probably read it right now.

And you should also enter these competitions to win copies of The Everyday comics including the brand new Collection Two!

The Birmingham International Comic Show was where I met Marc Ellerby last year, and after that I drew a comic where our comic worlds merged. So because we were both there this year too I thought I’d do it again, this time featuring Marc’s girlfriend Anna. Happy Anniversary Marc! What did you get me?

This was a good Sunday. School of Rock was on the telly, and as usual, I managed to miss the start and the end. I’ll never see that film all the way through.

The contest to win a copy of The Everyday Collection One is now over. A fine fellow named Box Brown guessed correctly that the figure on the shelf was indeed Lion-O. Thank you to everyone who entered, all of your wild guessing amused me greatly.

This happened in a Wetherspoon’s pub after The UK Thing and is the last of three comics from that day. ‘Fire Hazard’ t-shirts coming soon

The little fella in the last panel is none other than Michael Rouse-Dean who has just launched The Guest Strip Project, a webcomic experiment set up to raise money for The Make-A-Wish Foundation. Go check it out and bookmark it, you never know who might be drawing the next one…

Don’t forget about The Contest to win a copy of The Everyday Collection One, no-one has guessed right yet. A couple of people have come close but have failed in attaining a cigar. It’s not an obscure action figure, the character is quite well known (if you’re my age) so come on people, just throw names at me, I want someone to WIN!
