Happy St. George’s Day

Happy St. George’s Day, everyone!

To celebrate, here’s an episode of my George vs Dragon strip, plucked from The Dandy from last year, which reveals the origins of this particular day. It’s all historical fact, too! (Well, maybe not, but still…)

Click to embiggen, and enjoy! And for more dragon-slaying antics, click here!

I’m off to go and slay some dragons. See you later!

Help the Aged

AFTER a three-week break for the Easter holidays, The Dandy returns tomorrow, bringing with it new episodes of Bad Grandad (see preview above) and the world’s worst ninja, Iykan Si-Yu! HURRAH!

Meanwhile, on the internet, Bad Grandad is one of a handful of strips up against each other in The Dandy’s latest online poll! Eek!  The old fellah is currently in third position, which isn’t too bad for a relatively new character with only a handful of strips to his name, but if you’re enjoying the geriatric jokester and want to give him your support, then go over to The Dandy’s website and click on Bad Grandad’s picture (as seen below). It’s as simple as that, no registration needed! No sign up required! No mysterious, dark rituals or human sacrifice expected – just one measly little click and you too can help the aged!

EDIT: In fact, using my internet skillz, you don’t even need to leave this page – click the picture below and your vote shall be cast! There, now even laziness is not an excuse!

Thanks in advance, chums! See you in the funny papers!

Iykan’t Si-Yu

THERE’S no Dandy out this week (last week’s issue is out until the 18th of April for the school holidays) but fear not! That nutty ninja, Iykan Si-Yu, is here to fill the gap, in these two strips that were rejected by Dandy HQ.

Well, I prefer to call them ‘deleted scenes’. So here we go – two deleted scenes from the current run of Iykan Si-Yu! Enjoy – and be sure to look out for further adventures of the world’s worst ninja when The Dandy returns in two weeks!
