I enjoyed this comic so much! It was exactly the antidote I needed after having filled a booooooooring form for some government thing. Thank you for the delightful weirdness!
Oh god, NMR keep your robe on!!! Did you ever read Ian McEwan's The Daydreamer? I'm getting Daydreamer vibes from this. I loved that book so much as a child. It's such a treat to see your comics in glorious full colour like this too - I KNOW WE'RE MATES NOW BUT I'M A FAN OK?
I had seen that movie as a kid but didn't remember until I ran into it online a few months ago and watched it again and thought OH NO I have vague, traumatizing memories of this! Yet it is somehow even more traumatizing to revisit as an adult. The emotions in it are surprisingly raw, for instance in a scene during a soccer match (forgive me, I'm American) in which a bully pulls off the boy's wig, which is attached via long, viscous strings of glue, and it's both unbearably sad and disgustingly weird at the same time. (I also feel duty-bound to point out that it was made in Canada, which in some ways has the most terrifying culture of all.) Anyway, I like your version of the story much better than the movie, so thank you for sharing!
I am always filled with joy when I see a new email from you, and then wait until I can savour every word/sketch. Definitely better than all the udders!
Dude this film sounds wonderfully bonkers & I’m so sorry I’ve missed out by not viewing it at a tender age, where it could nicely fester in my self consciousness for ever more. Films that did make an impression on me at a tender age The Goonies (genius nuff said), The Amazing Mr Blunden (time travel to save orphan tots being murdered by their guardians, noice), Picnic On Hanging Rock , missing girls, lots of petticoats & Sarah falling through the conservatory roof to be found days later, because nobody cared (sad beyond words) and Death line, set on the London underground and involves cannibalism, gruesome!
Great comic, Tor! I can confirm I have NEVER encountered The Peanut Butter Solution - I would certainly have remembered. It sounds absolutely nuts, and exactly the kind of thing I would have been entranced/disturbed by in the 80s. Perhaps it never made it out of the US...
This made me laugh so much. So weird, so funny
