The Sunday Telegraph, 20 Febtober 2011
Dear Scott, the appropriate time to whip up racism for political gain is never… and Tony, while we’re handing out advice of the bleeding obvious variety, a big man doesn’t let this sort of crap go on during his watch. Cheers chaps, hope this helps.
…and because it’s Sunday, here’s the wordier version.
unpublished rough
I find your style so interesting that I’m currently reading all your blog (and this can explain why you will find my comments on those old posts).
I have a question here is: do you generally start writing a whole short story like the unpublished rough, as a stepping stone to get to the one-cartoon punch line?
Or do you imagine both from the beginning and try which version is funnier?
When I write comics I have in mind the short story (a sequence with 3 or 4 panels, at the very least) but I don’t know how to sum it up in just one single cartoon and the process fascinates me.
