Usually drink, Usually dance, Usually Bubble.

Well Thought Bubble was really awesome! We had a totally amazing time selling comics and partying hard and meeting the comic folk of this fair land. Thanks to all the organisers and the other exhibitors and more thanks to the fine people who bought comics, took flyers or stopped for a chat. Many thanks also to Sam and Jill for coming down and helping out and generally just being beltin' O.Gs.

We are gagging to squeeze out some more vile comics for you in the wake of this and work now commences in earnest on Trenchfoot #4. For more news on that front, watch this space over the festive season. Additional projects in the pipeline are of course the next tie-in, John Voight: Agent of F.L.A.N.G.E. (a mini-series with masterful art from the aforementioned Sam Willoughby), and of course the long awaited Unpaid Intern #2 from that deviant wizard, Michael O'Keefe.

Whilst at the convention, Sam and I managed to get a small amount of work done and we did some drawing on blank copies of the annual. We have three such originals for sale and we'll shortly put some images up for your delectation. We hope you like.

If you wish to order any comics or have any questions or comments about anything we at O.G. are doing, feel free as always to email us at trenchfootcomic@gmail.com.

Biscuity Goodness

Good Morning,

Here are a few treats from The Biscuit Maker, dangled unsatisfyingly like a pate sandwich to a hungry lion maybe, but there you are. Gosh that Willoughby's got talent. If you should wish to congratulate the fine fellow he'll be with the rest of the O.G. team (aka me and Regan) at Thought Bubble in a couple of weeks.
More to come loyal folk, hang tight yeah?

Introducing Mr. Sam Willoughby

Hello trusty readers.

So it's been a while since there was fresh meat in the O.G. stable... that time has now passed. Behold the esteemed Sam Willoughby! (in the form of a tiny snippet from The Biscuit Maker)

This one-shot will deal with a small piece of backstory immediately preceding the events of Trenchfoot #1 and thus the setting and characters should be very familiar to you hardened Trenchlings. Our plan is for a November release so keep your eyes peeled in the shops and latterly at Thought Bubble - 19th-20th November Leeds, Saviles Hall.

We can't wait, can you? We hope so for just a small while longer. More news, snippets, previews, musings and tantalising treats coming your way soon.

Congratulations are in order for all of our contributors - the annual is finished and printing, and we are launching on Wednesday! Hoorah. I'll put some more previews up tomorrow I think.

Keep an eye out too in the near future for our slinky website at this very address. Now confirmed to include Character Bios, Galleries, Blogs links to all our social networks and mail order, and a weekly web version of Trenchfoot itself! We. Are. Excited.

Deliverance!

Hello!

Regan here...I just finally got off my arse and learned how to blog, so as to give Gav a break.

 Well then, what have we for you? Some announcements? Yes.

O.G. Comics will be at this year's Thought Bubble Comic Convention on the 19th and 20th of November in Leeds. Obviously, there will be many great comic luminaries in attendance, and we will no doubt appear as the grubby, unwashed underdogs that we are, but we thrive best when placed in the harmful path of adversity.

 Lots more on Thought Bubble nearer the time, obviously.

Other news? More new titles, obviously:

The Trenchfoot Annual is being slapped into shape as we speak (you can see an amazing panel of Joe Pochiol's art on "The Coming of Aardak" below) and will be available in August. Not sure of the exact page count yet, but it's likely to be 48+, so you get a lot of bang for your buck (and a lot of buck for your bang...what does that even mean?)

BUT...we are not ones to sit on our hands, and even as we speak there are yet another two titles in production:

Trenchfoot: The Biscuit Maker

A direct prequel to the 1st issue of Trenchfoot which focuses on serial homophobe/racist/murderer Kevin McCarthy and the worst day of his life - the day a Polish Gypsy turned him into a Gingerbread Man. A very, very talented new artist is pencilling this one and it promises to be a lot of fun. More as and when...

John Voight: Agent Of F.L.A.N.G.E #1 (of 2)

That's John with an "H", not the famous star of Midnight Cowboy (and biter of Michael Richards' arm). Won't say too much about this one as of yet, simply that it is a direct tie-in to the Trenchfoot universe at large and is all about the fall, rise and further fall of a simple man from the South with a penchant for cross dressing and  a thirst for revenge against the aliens who raped his wife.

So, yes, that is all for now, but I'm sure new and deflated ideas shall come on waves and wings of masturbating angels before the month is done.

Goodnight

Regan
