Silt and the Stylish Affectation

As you may have noticed, Aaron is no longer a redhead. While laughing at gingers is, of course, hilarious, these days it seems a little easy. Kind of like shooting orange roughy in a barrel. So lets laugh at dumb blondes instead.

Silt and the Really Choice Discovery IV

And with that I think we might take a break from cartoons where the punchline is a dead body. And I look forward to setting the next strip somewhere other than a damn paddock too.

Silt and the Really Choice Discovery III

...so, better late than never? Maybe we should just give schedules a miss and I'll just say there'll be a new cartoon whenever there's a new cartoon. Yeah, that sounds committal.

And, for the continuity freaks out there, yes, everyone has grown an extra finger in the off-season. It just doesn't seem right drawing all  these digital amputees. Just because The Simpsons do it doesn't mean its the right thing to do. For more information, read Three Fingers by Rich Koslowski.

Silt and the Really Choice Discovery II

Perhaps unsurprisingly, after declaring the intention to produce a comic a week, I immediately ran late. The lesson there? Never commit to anything ever.

Silt and the Really Choice Discovery I

And welcome to the first strip. I taught myself Photoshop colouring on this one and i think it's fairly safe to say it shows. I'm not happy with several of the colour choices here, and a small but really annoying voice keeps telling me to do it all again but we're never going to get anywhere if I can't even let go of the first strip. So don't be surprised if, by the next strip, everyone's changed colour. And, if there's time, we might be able to have a crack at some shading as well.

Welcome to Ngaromanga Bay

Hi there and welcome to what may be the next internet phenomenon after the lolcats, the lightsaber kid, and that guy who does all the of dances. Alternately it may just be a passing fancy like when I thought I'd look cool with glasses.  Either way, it's going to happen here.

Ngaromanga Bay has been stewing in my head for a while now; somewhere between Springfield, Royston Vasey and  Footrot Flats. And now, finally, the stew's all bubbled up, oozed over the side and somehow made it onto the internet.

Ngaromanga Bay is a small town on the coast of New Zealand somewhere, hemmed in on three sides by some big damn mountains and on the fourth by the vast and unforgiving ocean. Cut off for the most part from the rest of the world, the locals of Ngaromanga Bay have become a little... I believe the politically correct term is quirky. The non-politically correct term is definitely 'mental'.  

The plan is that there will be a new cartoon every week, just as long as i can wrestle Photoshop into submission and life doesn't get in the way, which it does have a habit of doing. But lets see how we go anyway.

So please join Silt, Jonah, Aaron, and all the characters I haven't quite decided on names for as they live, love and have zany unpredictable misunderstandings in Ngaromanga Bay.
