My festive stay in Perthshire sans graphics tablet has been prolonged, so the comic isn’t finished. However, it’s a year to the day since I registered the 12 books in 12 months domain name, so it seems like a good time to reflect on how it’s gone.
With that in mind, American novelist Alison Walkley came across 12 books in November, and asked if there was a post explaining the plots of each book.
There is now.

Happy Festive Season to you, dear readers, from me and this weird sideways faced owl I found at the German market in Edinburgh.
I was hoping to have a PDF of the falcon comic for you to download as a present on Sunday but alas, time got away from me and I’m not going to manage it before embarking upon a round trip of Ayrshire and Perthshire in about an hour.
You can look forward to that next week sometime, but for now why not see if you can make your face go sideways too? It’s hours of fun. This is my one:
Have a lovely weekend.
All this time I have been bemoaning the fact I can’t do comics during my lunch break in the office in the same way as I can novel, having forgotten the existence of MS Paint. That oversight is now rectified with one for the uni crowd…
It is 1.27am and I am about to go to bed, having spent the evening drawing and yet failing to finish another page of my hawk comic. Below is one of the panels for your information / proof that I have actually been doing something. I also had a few* photos to upload to the computator from Kid Canaveral’s Christmas Baubles, some of which can be found here.
The main lesson I have learned from this book so far is that I can’t draw, work and sleep – there aren’t enough hours in the day. Still, they say sleep is for the weak…**
*couple of hundred. I did not upload them all, as many were poor.
** who are ‘they’? And what on earth were they thinking?! I’m awful without sleep. Night night.
I am mixing things up a bit and putting this week’s guest post up today. After all, if you can’t go a little crazy at Christmas, you might as well be a lobster (or other secular life form / member of a non-Christian religion). Also I had quite a manic weekend so I haven’t drawn anything…
Please put your hands together for the very talented web comicker John Allison, creator of Bad Machinery and Scary Go Round.
