The Sunday Night Project

The Sunday Night project - sunset

So it's Sunday night. It's the night before going back to school or going back to work. The evening is drawing on, and the light is getting dim. There are just a few hours before sleep. What are you going to do with them?

The Sunday Night project - sunset

Sunday night films on the TV were generally films of the older kind, films you might watch alone. Films where you were the only one.

The Sunday Night project - sunset

There might be a scene where they went down to the beach, filmed on a Wednesday, or on any other day of the week, but because of when you were watching, the beach became a Sunday Night beach. The Sunday night beach to visit before sleep...

 I was astounded to find a copy of T.E. Hughes' “Chapels of the Dial in North Wales” yesterday. I thought only the National Library of Wales had one!

One of the most important things that has ever happened to me as a cartoonist has been the support of Seth, who edited and designed my “New World” book. It has been wonderful. Seth can probably not imagine how grateful to I am to him.

THE DIAL AND OTHER STORIES

I was as pleased as punch in 2005 when Marc Baines of Glasgow's Kingly Books decided to reprint some of my Mauretania Comics stories in a smart new paperback. It was a really great thing and we had the launch at the Mono bar. The bar still exists although the great Kingly Books has gone! https://www.monocafebar.com/

The contents of Marc's “Dial” do not all appear in Seth's “New World” collection of my stories, although the first “The Dial” does.

The Dial and Other stories opened my eyes into how stories could be presented in print.

TARGAFLORIOCOMICS: DO THEY COME OFF?

What are Targafloriocomics?

These comics are blessed by a spirit of irresponsibility. They are comics that will just take off and zoom down the straights with no thought of the dangerous bends ahead. Their readability or content may not be enhanced, their translation may be poor, and their subject matter … dumb ...but they do possess a certain... freedom.

The Italian version of Inspector Rockwell, despised, his office desk dumped unceremoniously in the road outside police headquarters... Rockwell will still solve the case!

Photo stories, stories that contain nothing, or stories that will make you squirm. Familiar characters Moon Queen and Prince Umsween adventure to regions far beyond their normal continuity. What is this? What are you trying to pull? Make you angry? Make you … cheated? Are there any videos? We've got aliens, of course!

Look out for the logo. Look out for Targafloriocomics wherever fast, zooming, irresponsible brain-dead Futurist comics are sold. Tragafloriocomics!

(Where does the name come from? The Targaflorio was a sports car race around the island of Sicily – like the Isle of Man TT motorbike races, but slightly more Dangerous!)

Experimental or just “...mental”?

TORUS

had SOME stories I would have liked to have seen in “Adventures From Mauretania” but that's not what it became. I wanted it to look as if it just followed on, but what happened was that it followed through into the future.
