Lewis Carroll in Manila!
Pages 1, 4 & 5 from Kiss and Tell Inside The Monkeyhouse, from Filthy Moods comic 1994.
I read a newspaper article about the gulf between the wealthy and the poor in Manila and the sheer levels of degradation and poverty that is so prolific. However, it was written by the sports correspondent and this appealed to my sense of irony.
Naturally, I decided to update Lewis Carroll, well-known children's author, favourite of Queen Victoria and escort to young girls. Here he dreams of a future when he is disgraced for his association with Alice and forced to work as a tabloid gossip columnist.
Well, it made sense at the time. Shame the art was so rushed and shitty.
Sigmund Freud Versus The Minotaur!
This is the first story that I wrote for the Filthy Moods comic. I won't inflict the rest of the story on you. I'm sure that you've done nothing to deserve it, anyway.
I've always liked the Greek Myths (probably from watching Jason and the Argonauts as a kid!) and, Shh! Don't tell anybody, but always thought Freud was a bit of a crank. Needless to say in this story Siggy gets Ariadne and nicks all the Myths to claim them for his own crackpot theories.
