Pete Fowler (one of the cosmic adventurers behind the wonderful Seahawks) has just started posting these ‘Questicle’ comic strips, which I think are striking high on the awesomometer.

Dave Little is a graphic art legend. In fact I think this Newcastle lad is well on his way to becoming an ART legend, full stop! His work for Bomb The Bass, S\’Express, The Aloof and Junior Boys Own is seminal and timeless. He’s recently drawn the cover for the new edition of X-Ray magazine […]
