A VICTORIAN NOIR

Howdy all, it's that time of the month again, here comes your latest Ladies and Gentlemen Short. This one is entitled "A Victorian Noir" and features guest artist Mike Pasquale, whom the eagle eyed amongst you may remember from this post. To give you a little idea of what this story is about, it started as an exercise for myself. I wanted to be able to write a story without dialogue and, luckily, having a mute character came in handy tremendously for this. I also wanted to play around with time and tell a non-linear story. I'm still unsure as to whether or not I pulled it off (let me know what you think guys) but one thing is for certain, Mike really made the characters his own and gave us an alternative of what The Gentry looks like. The Gent in a wife-beater and jacket ready to kick arse down in panel four is my favourite. So here at last "A Victorian Noir". Enjoy.

A quick update

Hello, just a quick update here to let you all know what's going on in the Water Closet. A bunch of you have bought issue one which is greatly appreciated and so far the feedback has been great. In other news we are currently working with Biz Horne in a documentary being made about people trying to break into the comics industry so I'm sure the upcoming weeks will be filled with news of that. Since we're on the subject of Biz, she is working on one of her FML comics but is going to feature our character Sarah from Ladies and Gentlemen. The hope is that we can do a story for her in return and really get some camaraderie going in the Leeds comics scene.

Also Ladies & Gentlemen is available to purchase in all comics shops in Leeds, so if your in Yorkshire you can get a first hand look at the issue in Travelling Man, OK Comics or Forbidden Planet. I think that's all for now.

Although I did draw this today and hoped you guys would like it.

Good Day to you Sirs
