Sorry about the several-days posting famine, but I've been busy transforming a bunch of these Frets for the ROK COMICS website.

ROK comics is an easy way for comics creators to get their comic strips onto people's mobiles (it says here - I haven't tried uploading anything yet). The website explains everything, but basically you can upload your artwork onto the site and then subscribers can download it onto their mobile phones. For subscribers, it's a great way to while away those hours on the commuter train when you just couldn't decide whether you wanted to read the Telegraph or the Guardian; if you're a cartoonist, it's a useful source of extra income to add to the vast fortune you're already making from drawing lines with ink on paper via a pen. You can even contribute if you've never drawn a line in your life - they have a ready-made section where you can create your own comic strip!

I've been meaning to find time to get these done for ages, so I apologise for not drawing any new Frets for a few days while I got on with it. I'll post the news when they're up and ready.

The results are being posted in a fast-growing gallery on the Motel website. Artists have contributed drawings, notes, doodles, some have pretended to have stayed at the motel - basically, anything goes. Here's the Team Sputnik contribution...
