A Tale Of Two Connellys

Looky Looky Miniatures N Booky

A Tale Of Tales, Cheeseburgers And Snails, Dungeons And Flails, Buttcracks And Parasails...
...But Not Really. It's more or less about Truck Nuts...I mean Zines...

Trenton's Punk Rock Flea Market kicks off it's April Easter Event with pretty darn decent weather, everyone is bippin and boppin, as was I off three hours of sleep, setting up shop and being antisocial. Abysmal turnout, lots of lookie-loos but not BuyOrDies. The best customer was this IRL Pixie with an infectious smile and eyes full of wonder who grabbed an Orange Puppet called "Screech", they were having trouble deciding on which colours to mix, analysis paralysis, so I suggested I pull out a D20 and they could roll for it. Their response was to pull out a D4, a fucking Nerd Caltrop, and just chose orange anyways. 

Second Day rolls around, apparently a few vendors bailed and new ones were to fill up the empty tables. A few new faces here and there, I don't pay much attention as I'm in a fairly Shite mood due to painful feet syndrome (lose some weight fat ass). Da Boss Roni says we should go walk around with Sherbs and Nilla, I reluctantly agree, and we put boot to arena floor. I get literally a booth over and nearly have a fucking stroke as something blue grabs my vision and I see the word Dungeon. A semi-excited semi-distressed sound escapes my mouth "Wait wait is this Claire?!" and my blind ass eyes can't see the huge sign that says Claire Connelly in the middle of their table, to which Roni confirms Yes. Either a surge of energy occurred or I thought about sugar and my blood pressure spiked, but I was very happy. Instant mood shift.

We walked around, talked to a few people, saw new vendors, I made one laugh so hard they gave me free Coconut Chocolate thingies. And as I headed back I noticed they were finally back at their booth. I scooted over while someone was observing the miniatures Paige Connelly (Her Twin Sister!) makes, and I flashed a $5 bill to assert dominance over the poser next to me. I grabbed Dungeon 134 and ran away. This zine sold out before I had a chance to buy it when I first found out about it, I had been following Claire since I started my current Instagram zine account, and always wanted a copy, so this was a holy grail moment. Also the first time I've ever met another zine maker in real life.

Most of the day was spent as a mix of pretending I gave a shit about selling puppets to people who were fairly indifferent about it, and then me running over and bothering Paige and Claire. I ended up buying a handful more stuff and they even gave me Traveler's Trunk for free because I'm Super Sugoi. Besides their suggestion of giving Sherbs a pair of Truck Nuts, one of my favourite bits was discussing Favourite and Least Favourite tattoos to do and somehow I remember "Grandma Playing Tennis Whilst Jet Skiing on The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai" but I can't remember which category it went in. Claire is still doing the apprenticeship at North Jersey Tattoo and is accepting ding dongs (not the food) for inking.

Like I mentioned earlier how Paige kitbashes and sculpts miniatures, one of my favourites is the Meganob Shitass Babby as seen below. There was a horde of Demon Toads, Awakened Candles, Pestilence Pals (good for your Nurgle Army!), and of course the ever dapper Portafellow who is indeed a shroom. They come in various colours as you can see in the first photo in this post. But for a better view go check out her shop HERE.

After One 1 Hour At Mad Dok Grotsnik's Daykare

Do Yer Titz Hang Low, Kanya Tie Em In A Bow

But maybe you have a child and if they don't start reading soon they will be chucked out of the tribe and eaten by rats!? Then maybe you should check out the children's book she illustrated called Release The Chickens! But maybe your child started shoving your polyhedral dice up their nose and you're tired of taking them to the ER every couple days? Then it sounds like you need to break out Ruins Of Dim Kalduhr which is a Solo Time Traveling Dungeon Building Journaling RPG. 

Woah! Can You Spot The (Not So) Hidden Butthole!?

So you're saying the goblin that clawed from your putrid loins isn't feeling quite inspired enough to play? Sounds like a job for ONIONS! Yes, That's Him, The Greatest Warrior Alive! I was only able to pick up Diced Onions: A Side Quest at the booth but you can read Issue 01 and Issue 02. 

Still not inspired by such adventures? Time to become Life Threatening and explain how if dice don't roll this will become a sneak preview to their near future! 

But what if your mutated offspring just discovered stuff like Kamen Rider, UltraMan, and Shigeru Mizuki? Then maybe you would be more interested in something along the lines of Locust Joe VS Silver Sacrifice as seen below.

But sometimes you had enough of this kawaii ass fantasy shit and need some kawaii ass historical monsters that are also tattoo flash designs!? Well then Summer Of Yokai was made just for you! Are you a Yokai Freak like me? Have multiple books on their origins and studies on them? Did you purchase Pandemonium On Parade only to figure out it's some dingus' college thesis and kinda boring as hell? 

Yeah well, plenty of your favourite Yokai are represented here, you can cross reference them with all those great Yokai Spook Warfare films from the 60s or the Takashi Miike version from 2005! And best of all, get them stabbed into your flesh by Claire herself if you're lucky enough. 

Yeah yeah yeah spooky monsters might not be your thing, you're looking for something more simplistic, to the point, something that defines you! Try this on for size?

But maybe you're in the mood for some Media on these two?

SchoonArt: Ghosts, Guts, And A Thousand Faces

The Image That Started It All

Did you ever go on Reddit at totally random and actually find something cool? 

No? 

Yeah me neither...except this one time!

Scanning through the Zines (or zinesters) Subreddit, tons of stuff I can care less about, and suddenly a 3 legged mutant walking down a street appears...crazy stipple shading caught my eye immediately (the other one followed along shortly after). What is this? An artist who understands perspective? I had to investigate further! I stumbled upon a more finished version, and then other panels from Gut And Ghost, soon enough discovered His YouTube where he inks and talks. I followed him on Instagram and he went live the next day I think folding zines for an event, we chatted for 5 minutes and then we settled on a zine swap.

The coolness doesn't stop there though, many people will sign up for classes of nude drawing to understand anatomy or use Croquis Cafe videos for practice, but he used a Page of Candid Snapshots of people usually at a boardwalk or county faires in different states in the USA. And my god, it gives you the most unique faces, expressions, skin textures, just everything you would want to learn interesting anatomy. It is also interesting to see so many people who look Human and Inhuman all in one place.

So after a wee bit of watching him post sketches, stages of artworks in varying forms, a package arrives at my door. I had taken a nap and woken up to it, so I woke right up and grabbed the first sharp object I could find and opened it up.

Merry Artsmass To Meeeeeeee

Stickers

I love the amount of realism he is able to capture with the hand or the KIA, but god damn Derpy Batman is fucking killing me, never fails to crack me up whenever I pull it out. Oh yes, Unfortunately I am one of those dunces who collects stickers but has a hard time actually putting them on anything because NOTHING IS PERMANENT ENOUGH....it will probably go on a guitar though, those seem to stick around. THE HORROR OF IMPERMANENCE!

Gut And Ghost Zine

The Main Offender right here, so short, so fun, so weird. I was having a difficult time trying to figure out which panels to post without ruining the fun of the Surreality of Gut and Ghost. Great detail, awesome shading, just a ton of life in each panel. It really stands mountains above most zine artwork I've seen out there which makes this a special addition to my collection. I've sat there watching him ink a few of these panels, so it has another level of excitement to just study the result.

Art Prints

Can we all just take a minute and appreciate This Timelapse of Frank Zappa coming together.

Besides Gut And Ghost his art prints are a total trip to study as well. It has a comic book style in a sense, and you can see some of his reproductions on Instagram that definitely help with that flavouring, but then touches on this realism...it's such a different style that you can really sink your teeth into. The Frank Zappa one is my favourite because I have been listening to his music since my friend showed me the Baby Snakes DVD and my mind still remains blown.

Orange Zeppelin: Questions About Wabbajacking Off

If you haven't checked out my Full Overview on Orange Zeppelin, you should.

If you wanna read a far shorter interview from November 2022, you can HERE.

In 2017 you did the Mockstrosity Tour Artwork for Mac Sabbath, Metalachi, and Okilly Dokilly. Are there any bands out nowadays that you would want to do artwork for?

OZ: I would love to do something for Nekrogoblikon! I’d also give at least one one of my toes to make anything at all for GWAR since they’ve been such a big inspiration to me over the years.  

In general I’d like to practice making art that translates well into album covers,I tend to be very character-focused and treat backgrounds as something one does only when forced at gunpoint. Recently I entered a contest for a comic called Kill them Dead that is going to paired with a power metal album and we were tasked with designing art to be printed on the vinyl itself. That ended up being an interesting design challenge since I really had to take that round shape into consideration. 

ᕦ⊙෴⊙ᕤ

You made the Metalachi Fan Armour, and now you've revamped it into Something More Orcish, turning your boob cups into a Deadly Mace. Do you plan on adding any new pieces to it? Have you worn it at the anime shop yet?

OZ: I don’t have any big plans for it at the moment though I’d like to refine the bottom half a bit more. In the original Metalachi look I had a pair of shorts inspired by mariachi pants which is an odd juxtaposition with the orc theme! The codpiece that went with the outfit was also sewn directly to the shorts, so I may do a new codpiece next. 

As for wearing it to the shop, I might bring it out if we do an RPG event in the future. I do ride my bike to work so that will be quite the spectacle to behold. 

┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

How has the Anime Shop been for you? What have you enjoyed from the stuff they stock, if anything?

OZ: The shop has been awesome to work at! It’s called The Nerdy Otter because we’re right on the waterfront and our town is famous for our sea otters. It’s a tiny little place that was originally the storage room for a bakery until around April of 2023 when the owners decided to create a side business with anime and comic merch. We’re a small town so there’s really no one like us in the area. My goal for the near future is to spearhead a monthly gaming night or at the very least see if the owners will let me take over the social media so we can be promoting ourselves better. You can find us on Instagram HERE

I’ve taken good advantage of my employee discount and bought lanyards and pins to wear while at work, and I’ve got some really cool dice sets as well. Several of our Sanrio plushies have made it home also, though with those it was because they arrived to us damaged and I wasn’t able to repair them well enough to sell.

Your recent video on studying Gaelic with your hobonichi journal(and like 3 others) was pretty entertaining, and as a person who keeps going on and off with German and Japanese, it was inspiring to see someone actually progressing without taking on a tutor. Besides just having fun with it, has learning the language and keeping disciplined changed anything for you?

OZ: Aside from opening up a whole new world of memes, mostly about underpants and people named Iain, it’s opened up a lot of possibilities in the future when I can communicate at a level other than “literal baby”. I’m definitely thinking up ideas for working Gaelic into comic strips and I’ve found communities online that would probably really enjoy them. My big pipe-dream goal is to start up a second YouTube channel for Gaelic vlogging and just maybe do gaming videos, but that’s going to take a lot of study and tech set-up that I can’t accomplish just yet. Since Gaelic is very much a language on the brink of dying out I think it’s super important to use it as much as possible and to show that it is absolutely learnable. 

Ѱζ༼ᴼل͜ᴼ༽ᶘѰ

I am guessing you've researched the Celts to an extent since you draw them plenty, do you have any favourite facts or stories about them that you've come across or artifacts?

OZ: My favorite artifact is definitely the Gundestrup cauldron, a silver cauldron unearthed in Denmark that features one of the most iconic images of the god Cernunnos ever found. Cernunnos himself is very interesting as we really don’t have any documented information on him or even know if that was his common name. A horned god appears numerous times in Celtic art but the only place he is explicitly named is on a monument known as the Pillar of the Boatmen. 

/╲/\╭(ఠఠ益ఠఠ)╮/\╱\

I remember you saying your soundtrack whilst Arting was all over the place and didn't exactly reflect your barbarian babe vibe, so what exactly do you listen to?

OZ: As of recently I got back into playing Sonic Adventure 2: Battle so I’ve been listening to a lot of my favorite songs from the game, though maybe that’s a bad example because that OST goes absolutly hard as fuck in some levels. But I like to pair my music with the vibe of what I’m making and sometimes my vibe can only be captured by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. While my playlist is mostly metal, Tiny Tim is hiding in there somewhere along with Cab Calloway. Billy Idol has also carried me through many drawing sessions!

`(๑ △ ๑)`*

Now besides an Arting playlist, give us like 10 bands you would recommend nowadays?

OZ: In no particular order: The Irish Rovers, Brocas Helm, Peat and Deisel, Slough Feg, Wrath of Killenstein, Randy (who the demon dog in Gobliterated was named for! Not to be confused with a Swedish band with the same name) Jerusalem (also not to be confused with a Swedish band of the same name, This is starting to look like a pattern…) Those covers of Alvin and the Chipmunks songs where they slow it down to 16 speed and it turns into sludge metal, 

The entire Gauntlet: Dark Legacy OST, and The Hu. 

(ʘᗩʘ’)

Have you made a soundtrack for immersing yourself in Gaelic?

OZ: I’ve got a couple of playlists saved and built on YouTube with anything that looks useful for immersion, finding Gaelic content is way harder than something like Spanish where I can immerse just by going outside and eavesdropping but you can still dig around and find a lot of helpful materials. I don’t have a lot of gaelic music included because I’m focusing on as much natural speaking as I can. 

(ﾟ дﾟ )

Hail Yourself Zine how did you get in on that? Did you enjoy being a part of it?

OZ: Getting into Hail Yourself was a very lucky coincidence, they had flyers printed out and spread around town and I came across it on one of my collage’s bulletin boards. I sent them an email and a couple of art pieces, and Krystal sent me an email back saying she looked me up on Facebook and saw the comic strips I was doing (unofficially) for Metalachi. She was hoping I could made a comic strip in a similar vein to Beelzebubs, and that’s how Gobliterated originally came about. This expanded into having a table at the first Mid-State Metal Fest, and being asked to design the flyer for the second. Unfortunately COVID came and shit all over everyone’s everything everywhere so that event was canceled, and the zine creators ended up moving across the country leaving our area once again bereft of a good metal zine. But it was a good experience while it lasted, and it was by far the most high-quality zine I’ve ever come across. 

(૭ ఠ༬ఠ)૭

How have you felt about your zine journey so far?

OZ: I think that I’ve learned a tremendous amount not just about the process of DIY publishing but about where my strengths are when it comes to making comics. Since I’m working with a set number of pages with the expectation of a physical printing it also forces me to think more about story pacing and how pages “flow” together. I’ve definitely moved from the mini-magazine direction to the straight-up comic direction, and I’d like Brain Fart Comix to basically be whatever comic idea I’m floating about at the moment. 

(ｏ´・ε・｀ｏ)

In November 2022 you said you weren't too good at self promotion and the audience was small but growing, have things changed? 

OZ: Online algorithms are a beast we’re enslaved into feeding, and there’s still a lot of ways I could be better but I’m noticing that my Youtube is gaining a lot more traction. I’ve recently changed my vlogging format to show more actual process footage and to focus on each month’s big project. I’m hoping to exploit my down time at work and use that for promo work and studying instead of researching terrible jello salad recipes like I’ve been doing. 

( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)=o==[]::::::::::>

With Gobliterated I felt like Grokka was your avatar so to speak, but then I noticed in the notes for some strips that even Ronnie was mirroring things in your life, such as planning out your week and then COVID. Who do you relate to the most? (You can not say Randy.)

OZ: There was actually a secret logic to how I wrote each Gobliterated character, and it’s that I wrote every character based on my more negative personality traits or habits. Ragnar gets big ideas but when faced with roadblocks he can get the wind knocked out of his sails and loose motivation. He also wants to be perfect right off the bad and doesn’t like going through the pains of learning a new skill. Grokka is somewhat neurotic in general with a tendency to beat himself up over conceived flaws, and even overcompensates by working himself to burnout.

I didn’t get to show a lot of Ronnie as a character but she takes bad moods and makes them worse by stewing and ruminating on them, and she’s probably who most closely resembles me in personality. 

(╬ಠิ益ಠิ)

If FATAL QUEEF actually made music, how do you think it would sound?

OZ: Ska from hell! 

ლ(´◉❥◉｀ლ)

Ok let us discuss this Wes Johnson obsession, when did it start, how is it going, and would you plaster cast his face and wear it around the house? When are we getting a spicy version of him with a mace and malog balls wabbajackin' off?

OZ: Oh man, this was a rabbit hole that started with me getting really into Sheogorath from the Elder Scrolls, which lead to me stumbling into a photo of his voice actor in full Sheogorath cosplay, and then I started researching other projects he’s done. In the words of the great Squidward Tentacles, “Oh no, he’s hot!”. For those who aren’t familiar, Wes Johnson is an absolute gigachad who’s been voice acting in Bethesda games since Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, he’s easily half the characters in Oblivion, he’s done tons of voice over work and radio appearances (even appearing with the legendary Wolfman Jack) and also announces for the Washington Capitals hockey team. I swear, he Unleashes the Fury and there isn’t a dry pussy in the whole Capitals Arena. 

Everything I’ve heard about him personally is that he’s an absolute sweetheart. I’ve shown a few of my drawings to him (not everything, I think he’d sleep better at night never seeing some of my Sheogorath art)  and he’s loved them all. I’d love to meet him at a con someday provided he hasn’t hired security to keep me as far from him as possible. 

If I ever make a Wes Johnson dakimakura you’ll know I’m in too deep!

മ◡മ

On that note, give some updates on your most current projects and happenings in your life so everyone can keep up with you!

OZ: This actually ties into the Wes Johnson question! He holds an event in May called Voiceapalooza where he teams up with other voice actors to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. A lot of gamers join in by raising funds while streaming, last year I did an oil painting of Hermaus Mora to auction off. This year I have a slightly ambitious goal of making a short Sheogorath themed comic and selling printed copies to help the cause. I will have to haul ass on it because Voiceapalooza starts May 1st and I’d like to be able to promote the comic all through that month. As of right now I have an oil painting to finish and then all of my energy will be focused on the comic!

Orange Zeppelin: Brain Fart Comix And Beyond

Jameson, Rambo Knives, And ART

A long while ago, in the dimly lit past I somehow discovered this art account (more than likely through some zine hashtag of sorts) and it was none other than the incredibly talented ORANGE ZEPPELIN!!!! I was lucky because by then she had released her first issue of Brain Fart Comix. I ended up seeing her hand painted GWAR - America Must Be Destroyed / Phallus In Wonderland GWAR vs The Morality Squad skateboard and was totally obsessed. 

Doesn't Get More SEXCELLENT Than This~

There are so many other paintings I absolutely love though whether it's Vermin Supreme, Skul Fukka, The Fighting Uruk-Hai, Death Dealer Backpatch, Zatz The Prince Of Bats, Celtic Warrior OZ 2022 Version and so many more.

Celts vs Orcs Banner For Websites N Shit

I remember being impressed after seeing either a story on Instagram or maybe from one of her Vlogs, her drawing the comic book page layouts/panels by hand, using a ruler instead of just using a template or digitally. Considering this was not a 45+ year old, this is not common and only intrigued me further. At this time she was doing (I think) Gobliterated and Woah Awesome Space Babe (which was Patreon Only at this time). Gobliterated strips were fairly simplistic, so I think she might have been mapping out some Woah Awesome or something from Brain Fart Comix, dunno, it was K O O L. I think this was a reason we started talking too.

Da Boiz

Gobliterated In Hail Yourself Zine was unfortunately short lived as they disbanded. But many Hailz and Ave Sathanas's and other evil praises I can cast upon them, because the zines themselves were pretty cool aesthetically and had a few cool interviews in them, plus a fucking comic! 

Gobliterated is about a band, or a band forming, or a band doing something, mostly just Ragnar Facepunch and Grokka Pissboner. Grokka feels the most like OZ's self insert. Owns A Trumpet, Sleeps With Mouth Open, AND Skateboards? And I definitely wonder what a McGangBang tastes like, anyone know? Asking for a friend. Their band, FATAL QUEEF, goes through all the growing pains of being musicians such as learning how to play your designated instruments...from scratch...after starting the band. 

But all in all it's a great Fantasy Slice Of Life that is all a bit too real in a sense. Life getting in the way, you getting in your own way, and having a demonic dog as a mascot for your band. Relatable. With the Gobliterated strips a lot has to do with actual events in OZ's life whether it be covid after planning out your week, getting a job at a restaurant, celebrating Christopher Lee's Birthday with a marathon.  

One Of My Favourite Strips IT WAS THE BABOON'S IDEA

The art has simple lineart and seems mostly shaded with watered down ink, I've seen one where there was a Coffee Spit Painted With Real Coffee. Traditionally done comic strips are more my speed, as I am not too much into the super clean digital 'Webtoons' style that just feels neutered to me. Her other comic Woah Awesome Space Babe although far more digital, still holds the charm of her linework.

Now we make our way into the main reason for this post...Brain Fart Comix!!!

All Five Issues lookin' All Sexy N Shit

While these are mainly Comix zines the first two issues had a little bit of writing in them I definitely miss. Issue one with it's love letter to the excitement and visceral emotion that comes from your art supplies, or Issue two with a feature on Celebrity Nerds. It was fun to dive a bit into the artist's mind and what mattered enough to them to write about. I definitely motion for a return of at least one written page besides the intro!

Issue 01 I would say is Half Autobio Comic and Half Comix.  The writing portion is a love letter to the experience of art supplies, doing art, and immersing yourself into it. The part about purchasing new supplies and it feeling like a candy store was no joke, and the intense euphoria experienced is 110% real. Luckily 'The Origins' actually tells a short story and steers clear from the traps and tropes of those 'Adorakable' Autobio comics/graphic novels that litter the bookstores. 

And in the Comix section we have Night Of The Livid Dead which is about a band, pre-dating Gobliterated AND ACTUALLY CAN PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS as they are seen On Tour. Of course the debut of Sir Pete as well, you will love him, you have no fucking choice. 

Don't get used to this style because each issue becomes a different monster with it's own personality which can be good or bad. I honestly like it, it reminds me of GWAR albums, always changing, always experimenting, Rule Of Cool dominates the content, just like these zines. So not only is there a progression of art style, but a progression of style in general.

Issue 01 Front Cover

Intro Page, Index Card Drawing, The Origins

Night Of The Livid Dead

Issue 02 was definitely to me the D&D Issue of the bunch, and it only took her 5 pages to show one of her favourite things to do, put a fat dick in your face... albeit this one was behind a spikey codpiece. The Livid Dead get into some deadly shenanigans and some fearsome rejected RPG foes incase the monster manual is making you yawn. The art has improved from the last issue and of course the valiant return of SIR PETE. I do wish the Dicklump-In-Yo-Face comic went on longer. But I think the singular artworks and the D&D spread make up for that.

Issue 02 Front Cover

D&D Spread

Sir Pete At It Again

Issue 03 or as I call it The Frank Zappa Issue, I remember first seeing it and bothering her to save me a copy until I got the cash to buy it since I think it had already sold out and she was only pressing a few more copies. I always enjoy finding Zappa fans in the wild, and most times they are into a lot of the bands I am into that fall into Shock Rock/Comedy Rock such as Green Jello, Aquabats, GWAR, Haunted Garage etc etc. This issue was definitely The Music Issue and rightfully so with that cover artwork.

The issue was shorter than the two previous ones, but this was the first colour cover. I feel like the Brief History of Music should be featured in a legitimate music magazine because its so good. Now if you remember the intro to this section I talked about wanting the writing portion back? Well it sorta came back but in a Music Zine kind of way, an interview. There is also another great Mid-Zine-Spread that I didn't want to spoil, it is definitely the next stage up from the D&D spread in quality and lively action. Also Tits.

Some Fucking Mustachio'd Cunt With Baby Snakes

Oh geez Sir Pete....

Issue 04 was the second coloured cover issue, featuring everyone's favourite Sir Pete. How does this lil fella not have a Fanclub by now? SPC (Sir Pete Crew) at PO Box 666 Sloppy Bitchpole Drive Malibu Barbie 11209, send an SASE and a nude pic of yer mom and if its good enough I'll ask OZ to send a sticker of Thee Sir. 

Actual Sticker Of Sir Pete

But Yes, Sir Pete gets his own adventure this time, as the entire zine! Not just the last word! As fun as stuff like The Livid Dead was I found Gobliterated to be even more fun, although it didn't get proper zine or comic book treatment it definitely scratched that itch, and this time there is no writing whatsoever, but a full on character adventure makes up for that. You still get a beautiful spread, aliens, and even Joe's Garage! Time has passed and art has improved, OZ is always churning out stuff and experimenting/honing her style and it is shown here. 

Watch a review of Issue 04 by FERAL COMICS :::HERE:::

BTW did you see the actual working MAZE? Fucking COOL. 

But did you know you could easily just cut out Sir Pete from the page and make him FLY over the maze to the exit, whilst making swooshing noises and random opossum shrieks all the while, and beat the maze? Yep.

Issue 04 Cover Art WITH SIR PETE!!

Sir Pete In Spaaaaace

Sir Pete In A Maaaaaaaze

Issue 05 is the most current issue as of right now (03/07/2024) and although it is not a coloured cover it still has Sir Pete on it so all is well! It feels a little thicker than the past two issues. The cover definitely foreshadows one of my favourite parts which is the spread with the experimental panels. It is hard to talk about this without spoiling the storyline, so I would recommend just grabbing a copy. The art style remains the same as I think less time span between these two issues than the other ones. But like the last issue, you get an ending page with an interactive element! 

Sir Pete Stealing The Spotlight Again!

Experimental Panels With Sir Fuckin' P E T E

Sir Pete Colour By Numbers!!!!
Hope your low IQ ass can count!

So you've seen the paintings, the comix, the zines!!! Are you inspired as all hell? Well of fucking course she did the Big Brain Thing and made a video about making your very own ZINE! I recommend you watch it right now, and then go make your own so we can all go trade!

!!!WATCH VIDEO HERE!!!

Now of course, because ZINES, we had to have a trade, and we sure did, TWICE! She was the first person to actually review my zines, and still remains the only one. So I give forever thanks for being so cool and supportive, you da best!
