| 18th November 2008 - posted by Rob What are you doing this weekend? Well, if you've got any sense at all, you'll be signing up to the Memorabilia show at the NEC in Birmingham. We'll be there. R2D2 will be there, and he may even bring his wife, the lovely Pat Butcher from Eastenders. Need I say more? This is our last show of 2008, so don't miss your chance to join the Tozzers in celebrating Christmas, comics and the credit crunch.
Well, it's been a busy couple of months, but now the Tozzer train is
firmly back on track! There's a new strip today, and I'm sure you'll
agree it looks fab, thanks to Pete's diabolically amazing art skillz
(as the young'uns would spell it).
We're back! Did you miss us? Oh, go on, at least pretend. The Ablaze
posse has returned from San Diego, where we conquered
Comic-Con and won over a whole new batch of gullible fools. Did I say
gullible fools? I meant awesome fans! And to celebrate
our triumphant return, we've decided to upload the next comic strip.
I know, our generosity is overwhelming.
Yes, it's the big event, folks. Time for me to get burnt to a crisp by the only bit of sunshine I see all year, while Pete distracts the entire female population of California with his inimitable charm. San Diego Comic Con. It's just ten days away, and we expect each and every one of you Tozzers to come along and stop by booth 1634! We need to see a friendly face or two, or we'll be very very sad.
We're trying something a little different this time - "Zeroes" is a multi-part story, not a single-page gag. So look for more action from these super-powered weirdos in the coming weeks...
This week’s strip is based on the real-life torments of Rob at the hands of Pete. It’s all true. Pete’s a big meany. Tune in next week for the start of our first multi-part web strip, starring a cop, a cheerleader, and a time-traveling Asian dude.
So Rod finally joins the hi-def age, in this week's strip, Marginally-Better-Ray.
Suicide Epidemic is a strip with no Tozzer in it. Will
anyone notice? Probably not. And yes, we could have called this strip The Crappening, but we're far too mature for that. (cough)
This week, we bring the webcomic into the hallowed ground of the bathroom,
in our new strip Toilet Gaming. Anyone who's ever owned
a handheld console will know the perils of this activity. Many a gamer
has collapsed on their bathroom floor when trying to walk away from
a mammoth session of Advance Wars - or, for that matter, Hanna
Montana Pony Grooming Extravaganza. Those ponies, they sure are
moreish.
Another Week, another comic strip! This week, we're talking Video
Game Piracy, which is very naughty, so don't do it. Thanks
to everyone who's been checking out the Tozzer webcomic, since it launched
a couple of weeks ago. And hey, if you dig it, please share the love
n tell your friends n stuff.
Ooh, look, the top bit's all changed. Yes, if you're really observant
you'll notice that we've launched our new web comic, the first page
of which is proudly displayed above. You may also notice that the comic
is called "Tozzer". We were originally going
to call it "Planet Peckerwood", but due to a last-minute regaining
of our sanity, we've gone back to the name that you guys know and love! High five!
It's time to hassle your local comic shop! Yes, folks, Peckerwood: 24 Minutes is on page 200 of this month's Previews catalogue, which is what retailers look in when deciding which comics to order. The order code is APR08 3487. Peckerwood is labeled "certified cool", which is probably a good thing. It's obviously important for the planet in general, and us in particular, that our fantabulous new book gets onto the shelves of every comic shop in existence. So please, please, please folks, do us a "solid" (as the young peeps say) and tell your local comic shop to stock Peckerwood in serious numbers. We need the love!
The New York Comic-Con approaches! Look for the shoddily-constructed Ablaze Media booth (#2262), made out of egg cups and papier-mâché. Why will our booth look a bit crap? Because – I kid you not – we have to bring our own tables and chairs! It costs around a gazillion dollars to hire furniture from the official sharks who patrol the waters of the Javits Center, so anyone with a brain and / or a grasp of economics is forced to bring their own. We’ll be using flimsy fold-up camping furniture, so come to the con and laugh at us poor Ablaze fools, then sneeze near our table and watch it fly across the room. In other news, Peckerwood: 24 Minutes has been reviewed by the good folks over at Geek Syndicate and they seemed to like it. This is a fantastic podcast, so do yourself a favour and subscribe to it, assuming you have a little bit of geek in you. Make sure you download episode 75, and pay attention to the bit which starts at around the 41 minute mark... Ok, folks, if you want to hear the rest of our news then you’ll have to sign up to the newsletter. I won’t be updating the newsletter archives from now on, so if you want to keep up to date, sign up today!
Look, more pages! What a wonderful surprise, huh? You can now enjoy even more of that Peckerwood magic that everyone's not talking about! Now I know you wanna get your hands on the big P before its official release date (June 2008 - see April Previews for details!). So come to sunny Manchester next weekend and fulfil your dreams! We'll be at the Collectormania GMEX show in the big M, from 8-9 March. We miss you folk, so come along and give Pete a big hug. Don't hug me, as I'm contagious. But Pete needs hugs like he needs air.
What's this? A New Year? Cripes, so it is. Happy New Year, everyone! Woo, the excitement. Look, there's even a Newsletter to celebrate the occasion. Just a wee one, mind. Don't want to overload your spam box. And now a small gift, from us to you, dear readers. Yes, it's 11 juicy pages of our brand new graphic novel, Peckerwood:24 Minutes, no strings attached. It's some kind of festive miracle, I tells ya! Why, you lucky internet folk, you can now read the opening chapter of this wonderful tale, without paying a penny. Check back here for more free pages when we think the world is ready for them... And if you haven't signed up for the free newsletter yet, well what are you waiting for? We need the love, people! |
