It's Chrimbo, let's unite.

What I despise about 'current day' is how everything in western culture is designed to divide us, when we all know that the best way to move forward is to come together. It's the oldest political trick in the book, get us all bickering like toddlers about petty shallow infantile self absorbed nonsense so we don't notice what's really going on. The corporate sociopaths in charge see the population as a problem to be managed, insignificant numbers on a spreadsheet that get in the way of what they decide is progress, not the individual people they serve. In reality every life and every opinion has value shaped by individual experience. We can all get along and learn from each other even when we disagree. United the likes of the WEF and their allies cannot stop us, and what better time to come together than at Christmas.

So Happy Christmas to everyone. Hope you all have a fantastic time and best wishes for you and all your family and friends in 2024.

More of my Dad's Xmas card designs #3

  Christmas time is almost upon us again...

Here is the third of my Dad's 'lost' Xmas card designs that were probably from some time in the late 70s to the early 80s. This one is my favourite of the three. A very graphic snowflake illustration rendered in pen and ink. What do you think? Let me know below...




It's taking shape...

Next week- It's Chrimbo!!!

More of my Dad's Xmas card designs #2

 Christmas time is almost upon us again...

Here is the second of my Dad's 'lost' Xmas card designs that were probably from some time in the late 70s to the early 80s. This one is a more traditional card design that speaks for itself. I love the inking style and the dynamic running pose brings the deer to life. What do you think? Let me know below...


New place progressing...

More of my Dad's Xmas card designs #1

Christmas time is almost upon us again...

Apologies for the lack of posts through 2023, it's been a particularly busy year. Back in the spring, after a year and a half of looking, near misses and set backs, my wife and I finally sold the house we had lived in for 18 years and bought a larger new build property. As you can imagine it has been a massive upheaval sorting it all out, not least going through all our stuff and deciding what to take with us and what to chuck etc.

While looking through all the old paperwork in the loft I came across three (!!) more of my Dad's old Christmas card designs that I had completely forgotten about. I didn't think I'd ever find any more so it was a massive and pleasant surprise.

So presented here for the next three weeks are these 'lost' Xmas card designs. They were all litho printed and probably date from some time in the late 70s to the early 80s. This first one kind of looks like a stained glass window in a church mixed with a kaleidoscope design. Love it. What do you think? Let me know down below...

Cheerio to the old homestead!

Next week- #2

 Coming Soon... 

Check back here to see what's coming soon from Funky Punk Comics...

 City of Tomorrow
Part One

Shitty City is flooded after months of non stop rain and it's about to be invaded by mad future pirates! Only Fred can save us now!!


In the style of classic 2000AD mixed with Deadline and The Beano, it'll be a 40-50 page black and white comic with lots of action, beer, flying car chases and jokes, wrapped up behind colour covers.
 

It's mostly scripted with 20 pages pencilled, 6 of which are now inked and ready for lettering.


If you like the look of it please check back for news and updates etc.


Here's a couple of random spoiler free pencilled pages to give you a teaser...


I'll also be posting a ton of the old Fred comics from way back when, all tidied up and digitally restored...


Thanks for reading this far.
Hail CG!!
