I miss the internet so much it hurts sometimes.
New comic is up at http://speaker-mobile.deviantart.com/art/Life-Sucks-106-81231147. As usual, when I have access to a computer that allows me to upload files via ftp, it'll be on the site properly, til then, hang tight. With regards to the latest comic... it didn't come out exactly as I planned, instead of the last two panels, there was gonna be one panel where the shoplifter was gonna slide under Geoffrey's legs, but I just could not draw it right. So I changed it because I was frustrated. Very frustrated.
Seeing as I got paid today, I'm gonna order the internet for my new house, I can't stand these library computers. It took the computer 20 minutes to load up yesterday! I nearly fell asleep. So yes, internet will be back on my computer soon... I can't wait.

Back in action....sorta.
Ah, it feels good to be able to upload the comics where they belong... I hate Deviant Art so much, although I'm not sure why I hate it. Anyway, I still don't have the internet at my new house, so future comics may still be posted on my Deviant Art account. I would have had the internet sooner...but I couldn't afford it, same old same old really. That's the great thing about being a student, you can't afford anything... yet you need everything. I had to buy an A1 portfolio the other day (which I haven't actually paid for yet, because I have this annoying habit of needing to eat), plus, I had to buy A1 plastic wallets to go inside it, and they aren't cheap. Of course, I would have rather had the A3 portfolio, which was cheaper, but my tutor wouldn't allow that. Stupid A1... I hate A1!!! It's so awkward!
Man, I hate a lot today.
Also, I was going to go the the 2008 UK Web and Mini Comix Thing today... but I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.
Ah well... Maybe next year. If anyone actually went, please email me and tell me how it was.

Digitally Remastered.
Well, hello! Finally got a bit of internet access. Seems that my ISP has deemed it necessary to terminate my connection, due to a few... payment issues. Which is why I haven't been updating anything on the site. Of course...there is always the computers in uni, but alas, they don't allow for FTP, plus Blogger is blocked on them as well for some reason (maybe to stop students accessing the computers just to update their blog to tell the world how crap the uni computers are...yes...it's all so simple now...).
So yes I finally updated! And for those who don't know, this comic is a completely redrawn and re-written version of the the last update. I just had to do it again, the utter piss-poorness of the last comic was causing me to cry myself to sleep. So, I hope you like.
Note as well, the shift in technique I've employed with the latest comic. For the last few months I have grown increasingly fed up of my usual draw, colour, copy then paste technique, so... after reading a few printed comics for inspiration, I went about actually drawing the whole thing from scratch, panels and all! Regulars may remember back in April last year I attempted this (wow...I didn't realise it was so long ago), but, I wasn't happy with the outcome, so went back to my usual practice. This latest comic however, I am happy with, I still have a long way to go when it comes drawing these comic pages, and I hope to continue this way, learning as I go.
Again, thanks to the readers who have stuck with me throughout the late updates and no shows. You're the best. Email me!

Good news!

Comic tardiness.
Hey guys, I'm afraid I have to put the comic on hold for a while, sorry I didn't post about this sooner. I just have a lot of assignments to get on with, and they have to take priority at the moment.
If anybody wants me to email them about when I start updating again, just send me your email address. Hopefully it won't be too long.

Ding! Comic's done.
Whoo! I did it. Hope you enjoy. It's not the first time that Kitty's larger than average bosoms have been the centre of attention, Barker decided to make a statement about them when he first met her.
So yeah...100 hundred comics! That's something right? Wow. That's a lot. Well, for me it is. I feel like I've come a long way since I started it in May 2006 (admittedly that's not that long, but still...), originally doing it just to keep me drawing, which it still does, but I've grown to love the characters.
I'd like to thank everyone that's taken the time to read it, especially the guys that waited through my constant stream of late updates, I'd also like to thank anyone that's taken the time to email me, message me, add me on Facebook, etc.
More thanks go to Chris Stringer, Chloe Kennedy, Jonathan Baker, Owain Carter, Jon Davies, Quinn Gillespie and Zack Finfrock for their awesome guest comics (most of which revolve around Barkers High 5 disorder!), Miia Hillila (I hope that how you spell your name! If indeed that even is your name!), for her fantastic fan art!
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is THANK YOU ALL.
Also, Thanks to my friend Lindri. And thanks again to my friend Chris.

I actually got up!
Today is a momentous occasion, it marks the beginning of a new era. I actually got up before the afternoon! I've had breakfast and now I'm drinking a nice cup of tea (as us brits do not drink coffee, as you all know). I feel pretty good. Now I'm doing the comic, I'll post it as soon as it's done.

Not happy.
Man, I don't know what's happening with the comic lately...I can't seem to draw something I'm happy with. I've redrawn it and redrawn it, but nothing is really clicking with me. As soon as I get something that I'm happy with, I'll upload it ASAP.

The return of Saint Nick.
Here's the part where I normally apologise for the lateness of the comic, but today, I thought I'd le--... ah, what the hell. Why break from tradition? I'm so sorry.
So, the latest comic. For those that haven't read any comics from last Christmas, do so. Then you will understand Barker's negative feelings towards his new post. And I have just realised... Episode #34 and Episode #97 are both called Bright Idea!! This must be rectified! Tomorrow though...must sleep...
Remember guys, I love hearing from you, so email me some time!

What's the dillio?
Hey guys, comic should hopefully be up tonight, the latest, tomorrow. I have lot's of things to do. One of things I need to do is sort out more designs for the store, which is coming along nicely. In fact, here's the latest design:
Also...because of a few issues that have arisen, the store won't be opening until January 2008.

Progress
Monday, 3 December 2007
I'm sleepy.
Hey there dudes and dudettes, finally managed to get a comic up, as usual, sorry for the delay, things are getting extremely busy lately. I'm gonna try my hardest to keep up with the Monday/Friday schedule. At the moment I've been concentrating on my assignments. I'd like to say thanks to all my fans for sticking with me through all my update problems. And who knows? Maybe I'll be able to reach Episode #100 within the first 2 years. Whoah... 2 years? Christ, it's amazing how the time flies...
For those waiting for the shop to be up, I have some news. I have the first t-shirt design done, once I get 3 or 4 more done the store will go online. Hopefully it will be ready by next week. Here is the first design...
What do you think? Email me, comment, message me on Facebook/Comicspace about your thoughts. Remember guys, I love hearing from you.

My head is fried... TO THE MAX.
Hey guys, comic should be up soon, had a load of things I needed to take care of, namely two late assignments. Which still aren't finished. Plus I didn't get paid in work because of a clerical error! BASTARDS. And what else... Oh yes, for the last few days, my internet connection has been absolutely spastic.
This is me at the moment:
Love you all.

"Spare some change guv'nor?"
Okay guys, I've added a few new sections to the site. There's a guest comic section which links to all the guest comics that have been sent in, a fan art section, which displays all the fan art that I've had (the grand total of pieces of fan art so far is 1), and... a donations page. Now, the fact that I've added a donations button to the site does not mean that readers are obliged to give me money, it is completely voluntary, if you don't want to donate, that is completely fine, I won't think any less of you.
For those that do donate... thank you for your support. If I get any large donations, I will personally make sure that person gets a personalised piece of artwork. If they want one that is.
Also there is a shop link and a commissions link as well...these don't go anywhere at the moment, but bear with me, I'll get them up as soon as possible.
I'm not sure if I set up the donation system right, so if anyone has any problems, email me.

Flat out broke.
Man, having no money sucks. I've been working at my new job for about seven weeks now and I still haven't been paid. Next week is pay day, but it just seems so far away. I don't even have money to get to work. I haven't had any money now since about August, and now it is really starting to get to me.
And about the comic, there should be one up on Friday.
