Mindless Ones

A weekly strip by Fraser Geesin, now in protomove-o-vision!

The first of hopefully several.  This prototype Amusing Brothers animation lacks a proper opening sequence and credits but I thought I’d share this with you anyway you cheeky sausages.  This was animated by Ed Nottingham and voiced by Gary Lactus (Steven) and Amy Poodle (Andrew).

The book Dream Date by Tim Leopard and Fraser Geesin is available from Running Water Press or from Amazon.

Here and in the comments, we got the shit ain’t no-one else got. Read on!

A move away from what the genre supposedly does best – ideas, iconography, adventure, action, scale – towards character psychology, character motivation, and character relationships.

Lots of competitions going on here at Mindless Ones Dot Com, the most profligate and undiscerning of all the comic blogs, fact,  so much generosity that some of it has started to fall off the front page. We thought it would be a good idea to do a quick recap.

Plus, good if completely arbitrary excuse to drop this picture, I mean just look at it – The Leopard from Lime Street , without doubt the spiffingest British Superhero of all time, as reimagined by the also-legendary Duncan Fegredo. Meow indeed!

Astounding Weird Penises 258
by Alan Moore, Rational Comics/Dodgem Logic
