Wonderful s**t: Who doesn’t like The Simpsons‘ lovable ultra-violent Tom & Jerry-parody cat ‘n’ mouse duo, Itchy & Scratchy? If you’re a normal person with a healthy sense of humour and do, here’s a feature-length (well, not really, it’s 48 minutes long) montage of every Itchy & Scratchy cartoon to date.

Damn, this is sad. I wouldn’t be drawing today if it weren’t for Moebius.

•04/03/2012 • 1 CommentThe Syndicate in full colour. Why not?
The original Syndicate comic strips were in black and white because of a maximum of 64kb-per-image rule I had to stick to, because this was 2004 and the web couldn’t handle big images that well. I had to cut the comics in three (the title at the top and two halves of the actual strip), because any one of those images could easily exceed 64k if I didn’t diminish the quality.
On top of that, black and white may seem simpler, but it isn’t always. In a comic with the complexity of today’s one, it’d have been a nightmare trying to come up with contrasting greys to keep the pictures sharp. With colour, that becomes simpler. I only didn’t go full colour before because I liked the idea of doing it after the 50th episode. A nice, round number to mark the occasion.
So henceforth, welcome to the world of a colour Syndicate of Super Heroes!
