This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.
Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!
In the meantime I can tell you that The Secret of the Samurai will debut in issue 75 of The Phoenix (no. 73 came out today). To make sure you don't miss it (and a load of other fantastic stories), visit the Phoenix shop right here.
In other news, I'll be selling, signing and sketching at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal, which takes place 19-20 October. I'll also be at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival - taking part in three events on Sunday 25 August - more on that soon.
Right ... back to the drawing board!
As already stated, this is a shorter adventure of 20 pages (four episodes of five pages each) and it takes place a couple of years before the events depicted in The Rainbow Orchid. Look out for more information soon, and in the meantime, go and check out The Phoenix's brand new website!
