Meet The Cast #9

This guy goes way back to the earliest Fred Fortune one page gag strips. His first appearance was the 1991 one pager 'Total and Utter Garbage' in a chase across the city. He's just a silly send up of Judge Dredd except we do see his face from time to time...

This is the last of our cast members for now...

Next time: Let's get all nostalgic with some early Fred art from the 90s. See ya then...

Stay safe everyone.

Meet The Cast #7

Hmmm, no prizes for guessing who this is based on. We think he's really funny especially when he's affecting a stereotypical French accent... Just wait until he falls in love... OOPS spoilers that's in 'City of Tomorrow'!!

Next time- Meet the cast #8

Stay safe everyone.

Meet The Cast #4

Yay, it's the Bar-Thing, AKA B-T. One day and his friend go on a date with two buxom babes to see the latest Star Wars film (episode 257 or something) while being chased by a very mad fellow who's after Fred.

Please note... this story was written in the early 2000s years before I'd even heard of the real life comic creator Chip Zdarsky, so B-T's friend has been renamed, ahem... Plop Stardrive!!

This is a model of the Bar-Thing that I made in the early 2000s, partly for fun, but also as a drawing reference... Also I like the idea that his eye stalks can move independently of each other like the ears of a cat, so he can look in two directions at once.

Next time- Meet the cast #5

Stay safe everyone.

Meet The Cast #3

Lance will also be appearing in his own story entitled 'Oh, Bloody Hell!'. I might leave it as it is because I'm very pleased with how the story works. It was scripted by me, pencilled by John Woolley and inked by me. It's structured as a flashback as Lance, in the bar with Fred tells him of the horror he's just suffered as a nasty government official audits his life!! Like all these storeis it won't be appearing until after 'City of Tomorrow'.

Meet The Cast #2

One thing I wanted to do was give each character their own stand alone story or two that gives them a chance to shine and develop a bit while still being part of the overall narrative direction. It's not scripted yet but Daisy's first is called 'Bra Wars'.

Next time- Meet the cast #3

Stay safe everyone.

Meet The Cast #1

These cast profiles were originally in the issue #0 special preview issue of Fred Fortune (link to where you can buy it below) of the most recent series. #s 0-3 are available and issues 1-4 of Fred Fortune: Gold, a series that collects the really old strips from the early 1990s. Bear in mind that the stories that appear in 0-3 will be reworked and form part of the ongoing narrative that follows the forthcoming 'City of Tomorrow' story line, but if you don't mind spoilers please feel free. I'll be reworking most of them to fit the narrative. Also several of the stories in those issues were drawn by old Mondo* legend and all round good bloke Mr. John Woolley, who has since retired from drawing, so I will be drawing new art for all of them. This is by necessity rather than design because unfortunately I had a digital disaster a couple of years ago when the external hard drive that stored ALL of the Fred files decided to give up the ghost and break down on me and it was lost. I had one issue saved on Dropbox and a few low res back ups here and there, but not enough to continue as was originally planned. Luckily most of Fred was drawn traditionally so it has mostly been re-scanned... the oldest strips needing the most TLC to tidy up to a printable standard. Around 50 pages were lost completely, mostly ones that were digitally inked. Still have the traditional pencils though. A stupid mistake that won't be repeated. It feels like starting again from scratch so some jiggling of stories was required to get back on track. Mr Woolley will of course still be credited and will get a cheque for those stories if enough funds are raised.
