What is Cardboard Colin going to dress as for Halloween this year? I’ve made some options so you can help me choose! Comment to vote for your favourite and on October 31st I’ll post a Halloween comic featuring Colin in the most popular costume.

Also you can buy the original collages of the costumes in my shop!

In case you’re not sure, here’s what the costumes are…

Elephant, Duck, Spider, Pierrot, Toast and Jellyfish.

You can name more than one costume if you like. Every vote counts!

**UPDATE**

I’ve added up the votes and  here’s how many votes each costume got…

Elephant = 25

Duck = 25

Spider = 29

Pierrot = 35

Toast = 109

Jellyfish = 68

The toast won!

First piece of news is that the RSS feed problem with the website is fixed now. If you were reading the comic on Google Reader and it stopped appearing, it should be back now. If it’s still got the wrong title then unsubscribe and then re-subscribe and it should be okay. Sorry it was malfunctioning for so long!

Here’s the other thing I wanted to show you…

This is a test image I made to work out how I was going to put together my comic pages for Solipsistic Pop 4. The final thing looks a lot like this.

Solipsistic Pop is the UK alternative comics anthology created by by Tom Humberstone. The previous three editions were all brilliant and I reckon the fourth will be the best yet. There’s an Indiegogo campaign over here where you can pre-order the anthology. Definitely worth investing in!

If it’s three o’clock, you’ve GOT to have a cup of tea. That’s the rule in my household anyway. If you want to start enforcing an official three o’clock tea-time, maybe this print will help you. It’s available in the shop now!

Moving house news

This weekend I’m moving to Nottingham. I’m pretty excited about it. Today I’m packing up my stuff; I’ve got a sack full of cardboard to take with me. I’ve also got 8 big ring-binders full of MCL comics! I think once I’ve moved I will put some of the originals in the shop for sale.

Depending on how long it takes me to sort out the internet in my new house, there may be some missing or late updates. I’ve already scheduled all of next week’s comics though so hopefully we’ll be okay! *spoilers* all of next weeks comics are about Colin’s dog Sebastian.

Hope you’re all having a good summer! Here’s an old Weetabix advert for you.
