Seasons Greetings Varmints

Merry Christmas to you all, faithful Trench-heads!

We end the year with the promise of more dirty treats for you in the next from all here at O.G. We are hard at work on Trenchfoot #4: A Wolf at the Door. This next instalment of the main title features more from the dysfunctional Starlight Squad and their internal squabbling, a closer look at the dark doings of Bob Ketching behind the scenes, and of course more of the grim and mundane from our three protagonists.

In addition, one spectacular back-up feature is confirmed, drawn by the sublime Shaun Amin. More on this secret new addition to the O.G. team in good time.

Not forgetting the next outpouring from the brush of Sam Willoughby, John Voight: Agent of F.L.A.N.G.E. Transvestite Mr. Voight in a tale of revenge upon the aliens that raped his wife. All this madness and more in 2012!

Website Endgame

So here we are, back at the original blogspot address. This is due to the fact our new website is the final stages of development. We can't wait to unveil it at our ogcomics.com address. When we do, you can check out the previews in swanky scrolling viewers, artist bios, character bios, news, contact info, a link to this very blog and much more. All this thanks to the stirling efforts of Charlotte Ratcliffe, web developer extraordinaire. She has pulled out all the stops and it looks amazing, we will announce the launch very soon - don't miss it!

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.
