This didn’t turn out at all as I thought it would. Once again, colours are from photos, this time found by Google Image searching the terms “bruise”, “minced meat”, “mucus”, and “fungus”.

Day 19 #30dayscomics
Yesterday was Friday night in front of the TV with the kids. Couple that information with the above comic and you should have a good idea what we were stuffing our heads with.
Day 18 #30dayscomics
Day 17 #30dayscomics
Here’s what I do every day of every other week, taking my kids to school. I’m a big fan of public transport, I think everybody should sell their stinking filthy cars and hop on a bus or train instead. Some mornings, of course, you just wish they would get on any other bus than the one you’re on.
Is there anybody who want to go anywhere in the morning, say 6 or 7 o’clock? I don’t, and the more I use public buses, the more I realise that nobody else does, either. I think it’s a behavioural testament that communism works that people aren’t constantly in fist fights on morning buses.
So to all early commuters, the Dead of the Dawn, a salute!
Day 16, take 2 #30dayscomics
I really, really didn’t like the original entry for today, so I scratched down this instead. My apology to you 
Day 16 #30dayscomics [scrapped!]
Not perfectly happy with this one but, given the time I have to sketch at the moment, it will do. [EDIT: It absolutely won't do, I posted a new comic here instead. This horse is out of the race.] After Tuesday’s musical impressions I thought I’d try and consciously use layers, rhythm, and texture. It’s a bit programmatic but hey, some people like that stuff.
Usually people I don’t want to associate with, so maybe it’s a brilliant little comic, just not my taste.
Day 15 #30dayscomics
I guess this is what you get from sketching to Fantômas‘ music (mostly visible in the layouts, I admit)
Day 14 of #30dayscomics [catch-up]
I’ve been out of the 30 Days of Comics routine for a few days, working on another project – I managed to squeeze in a half hour here and there, though, and now I got around to scanning the results.
There’ll be another couple up in a little while!
Day 13 of #30dayscomics
Dammit, I’ve fallen behind schedule! Here’s something I did mess with yesterday, let that serve as a delayed entry:
Inspired by Derik‘s colour experiments this month, I took some abstract images from some old comic you may have heard of, and mucked about with the colours. I suppose it turned out decent?
Day 12 of #30dayscomics
I agree today’s entry isn’t much of a comic to look at, but I’m still in the throes of last month’s teaching, and the Deep Thoughts About Comics that always come to the surface when I teach.
The above is an attempt to outline the field definition of (what I, whithin my courses, accept as) comics, and I think it fits as well into its own definition as any graphic representation of information. But yeah, even I think I’m pushing the 30 Days envelope a bit with this one.
Next maybe I should try and define “story”? I’m always getting vague and mumbly when I teach narrative.
