We've been surfing the wossname today and discovered quite a lot of activity amongst artists who entered the aforementioned Observer/Jonathan Cape/Comica Graphic Short Story Competition. Artists have been posting their unsuccessful entries, linking to each others' work (including ours - thanks!) and posting comments on each others' blogs. Some have been compiling lists of posted entries - the most complete lists we've come across are on Myfanwy Nixon's drawanyway.com and Jeremy Dennis' cleanskies.com. Check them out ~ they're all worth a look.

We liked all the ones we've seen so far, but especially pages by Peter Bearle, Daryl Cunningham, Adam Cadwell, John Cei Douglas, Martin Simpson, Paul Rainey and Jessica Freeman. Apologies to anyone we left out.

This was all done in a bit of a rush because we only found out about the competition due to a passing mention in the Gad, Sir! Comics! blog about four days before the final date for entries. But it was fun to do, and we like it...

Here's something Antonella and I just produced for Adam Grose at Clown Press, who is putting together a charity comic to raise funds after all the flooding this summer, in Britain and in other parts of the world. More news about this when we hear more from Adam...
