Hey all.
Well seems like we all got through most of the week relatively unscathed right? If you weren’t in New Zealand, you’d probably be wondering what on earth I am talking about? This week we had a big winter blast which sent temperatures plunging. Snow in the south, and in part of the north of the country, which is rare. Still, nothing too bad to deal with really.
Meanwhile, I’m glad the Saturday before the cold weather hit was fine. I was able to get outside, and enjoy some time in the sun for a change.
Hope you like the extra effort on this weeks page. My thanks to my friend Richard for some of the suggestions to achieve the result I wanted with that.
As always, thanks for reading!

That is probably not what Emily meant, Adam. Oh well.
How are things everyone?
I’m going to keep this post short. I’m tired. I hope all is well where ever you are in the world. I’m looking at you London, and other areas of England. Look after yourselves.

Hey all,
It’s August 4! We’re well into the second half of 2011 now. Today is also the birthday of the real Adam, whom this very comic is based on! Happy Birthday, Adam! Hope you have an awesome day.
How is everyone doing? All good?
All good here. Tomorrow is Friday. That is a very good thing indeed.
Enjoy your weekend!

Wow, are we almost through July already? Damn!
Greg has terrible taste in movies doesn’t he? Top Gun is such a bad movie. It’s good for a laugh, but I wonder how it was ever taken seriously. I re-watched it before drawing this page. I guess if it wasn’t for this film though, there would be no Hot Shots. It all evens out.
Did anyone go to San Diego Comic-Con? Was it fun? I miss that show. It’s big, and crowded, and intense, but there is nothing else quite like it. It can be draining, but also a lot of fun. Maybe one day I’ll get back there.

Hey everyone!
Crazy week. I’ve been trying to get back on track. Zinefest wiped me out, and then right after I had a good friends going away party. I was pretty tired, and the result of that was starting on the comic a day later than I was expecting. Hopefully you are enjoying the story though.
Zinefest was really great. I posted up my thoughts about it here. I’m now officially selling the comics I made for the event online. Go hit that store button above the comic if you’d like one!
Hope your week has been a good one.

Hello again,
Well it seems even with a wrecked city, the guys are still looking to have a good time, maybe to just take their minds off it all for a while?
Seems like the best option, if you can, is to try and go about your life as normal as possible, even though the reality is about as far as you can get from it.
Switching topics! Are you in the Auckland area? Would you like to come meet me? Talk to me? Buy some comics from me? Of course you would! Well this weekend I’ll be at Auckland Zinefest. Selling some comics, and ready to talk to anyone who comes by the half table I’ve been assigned. If you’re in the area, please come by. It’s a really fun event. Details about the comics I’ll be selling can be found here, and the details about the Zinefest are here.
Hopefully I will see you there on Saturday!

Hello again,
During this trying time in Christchurch, people are making some tough decisions. The primary one, is of course, whether or not they can deal with continuing to live in the city. A lot of people are leaving and every reason for doing so is a legitimate one. However, a lot of people are also choosing to stay, and rough it out. It’s a personal choice. Knowing this, I knew I had to get to this page immediately after establishing damaged Christchurch into Adam’s world, so we knew where he stood. It was always going to end up like this, but it’s still important to know why.
Hope your week is going well. I’ve been extraordinarily busy this week. It’s been crazy. I’m not complaining though. That’s a good thing.
Thanks for reading,

Welcome to Chapter 6.
Well, this isn’t the usual kind of comic that I put up. In fact this is about as far away from the tone of the comic as it gets. When I started making this comic it was truly a love letter to Christchurch, and the time I spent there. I always wanted the comic to be a celebration of those good times, so I based the story all around those times and the city that gave so much to me.
Never in my imagination did I think I’d be incorporating or documenting my characters through a natural disaster, but then February 22 changed a lot of things for a lot of people. I’m going to put what I can into the story as I see fit, and the characters will be along for the ride as Christchurch builds itself back up again.
As always, thanks for reading!

Hey everyone,
Well it’s been a busy month. I’ve pretty much been locking myself away from the world to not only keep up with the updates here on the site, but I spent the rest of my spare time compiling my new book! Finally it is all done. What a relief. I’ll have a blog post about it very soon blog here, as well as information on how to get one. It was a lot of work!
Otherwise. with that work wrapping up, I was finally able to take some time for myself and go see a couple of movies. Went and saw Super 8, Green Lantern and X-men First Class over the past couple of weeks to make up for my lack of outings out of the house. I enjoyed them all. Green Lantern’s been getting dissed big time by reviewers, but I didn’t see what their problem was. I liked it.
Hope all is well in your world!

Hey everyone,
You might have noticed a lack of an update last week. That was pretty sucky on my part, but to make up for it, you have a double sized comic today. Hooray! This page took quite a while to draw, so I hope you enjoy it!
Poor old Christchurch is still rockin’ and rollin’. Its a frustrating situation for everyone. They’re scary to endure, and then people have to deal with the clean up and the frustration of yet another insurance claim process all over again. I can’t suggest anything to make it easier. Maybe just indulge in a pie as a guilty pleasure on a cold winters day. You never know, it might help?
If you are down there, my thoughts are with you.
Hope everyone is doing well!
