cult fiction: comics tour

Posted in news by tom humberstone on November 13th, 2007

Just a quick one.

It’s just been brought to my attention that the current Haywood gallery tour – Cult fiction: Art and Comics – feature my comics Art School Scum and How to Date a Girl in 10 Days in their travelling reference library. Pick up a copy and have a read at one of the following venues:

27 Sep – 11 Nov 2007
Leeds City Art Gallery, Leeds

17 Nov 2007–12 Jan 2008
Aberystwyth Art Gallery, Aberystwyth

19 Jan – 9 Mar 2008
Tullie House, Carlisle

Okay… Well, it may be too late to go to the Leeds one to be fair…

Apologies for the late notice but I wasn’t informed that they were touring with my work until now.

you’re wrong (page 4)

Posted in comics, news, you're wrong by tom humberstone on November 11th, 2007

After my recent comic work, I felt like giving narrative a break and returning to my short, one page character assassination days. Revisiting the vitriolic and spiteful ventedspleen humour of Art School Scum, here’s the fourth page of the You’re Wrong series…

Thanks

Just a quick message to say thank you to everyone who has commented on my 24hr comic Everything you never wanted to know about crohn’s disease and left such supportive, positive messages. I really appreciate it. Thanks also to those of you have linked to the post, told/emailed friends about it, or emailed me personally. I’m overwhelmed by the response to this comic and hope any new readers out there continue to keep checking back and enjoy the rest of my output. Apologies if I haven’t replied to some of you yet but I’m working my way through my inbox and will do so soon.

To answer a couple of popular questions:

1) Yes, I hope to publish the comic eventually but may wait until sometime in March 2008 as I’m currently preparing to travel for a couple of months to research my next comic. Funds permitting, I’ll start looking into getting a printed version out there when I return. In the meantime, my older work (admittedly non-crohns related) is available in print form from the shop on this website.

2) This website is essentially a place to preview my work before it eventually makes it to print and as such, my comics aren’t technically “web comics”. The limited resolution and small, sometimes unreadable, text is my very cheeky way of hopefully tempting you to purchase the lovely printed copies. So apologies to those of you having trouble reading the text on some of the comics.
