K Thor Means Business

Posted on June 27, 2006
All right, lickspittles and clown-noses, as threatened, I have declared myself the Editor Assemblitus of SHIOT CROCK TWELVE: THE FUNKY ZODIAC. What does this mean to you, the hard-working and unpublishable by any conventional means cartoonist? It means that you are in for the THRILL RIDE OF YOUR LIFETIMES as I let you ride my coattails to STARDOM ROCKET CITY, USA. I think it’s no exaggeration to say that this Crock will be THE BEST ONE YET, for a few reasons.
 
1) NO FORMAT RESTRICTIONS. Whatever you send me, I will integrate into the finished Crock. I will find a way. No matter the size, no matter the material, no matter the cost. This will be the goddamned Swiss Army Knife of hand-assembled shoddy comics APAs. Paint it in feces, carve it on a stone tablet, fart it into a plastic bag and call it comics. IT’S IN! SO MUCH FOR YOU CONSERVATIVES!!!!!
 
2) NO EXCESSIVE MAILING COSTS. As my gift to the world, mailing costs for Crock #12 will be a flat FOUR DOLLARS. NO MORE. All other costs will be absorbed out of my deep and tender pockets, no matter how heavy the damn thing gets.
 
3) NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE. I will include the antidote to a deadly poison in every package of Shiot Crock #12. Six weeks after the collection is mailed, that poison will be released into the water supplies of twelve major cities worldwide. I think what I’m saying here is pretty easy to understand.
 
4) EVERYBODY IS WELCOME AND NON-PARTICIPATORS WILL BE TEASED MERCILESSLY. Seriously. David Recine and Tedd Rall could do a twelve-page furry jam and I’d be all A-OK COOL. YOU GUYS AM ALL RIGHT (at least in public). Conversely, my mother could neglect to participate and I’d beat her to death with a tire iron. MY OWN MOTHER.
 
5) I AM SERIOUS.
 
SO HERE’S THE DILLY:
 
INCLUSION DEADLINE: JULY 2, 2006. This is the date of my wedding.
 
NUMBER OF COPIES NEEDED DEADLINE: July 16, 2006 – after I get back from my honeymoon I will send you this information.
 
SUMBITCHION SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 4, 2006 – this is my 30th birthday.
 
CROCK MAILED TO YOU DEADLINE: August 18, 2006.
 
IF YOU WANT IN: Email kthor@shortandhappy.com with SHIOT CROCK in the
subject.
 
IF YOU WANT OUT: Here’s a knife. Let’s go, asshole.

This Way Up

Posted on June 18, 2006
is a collaborative comic based in Dublin.

Following several characters in their journeys around the city, portions of the original script is given to painters, illustrators, designers, and interested souls who don’t even consider themselves ‘artists’ to respond with their own interpretation.  The various work is then reassembled, creating a kaleidoscopic experiment in storytelling and artistic interaction.

Each issue skips between the various characters, but follows one character predominantly, giving us access to their dreams and letting their wanderings shape the city.

Issue 1 was launched in February 2005 featuring 12 artists, who introduced us to novel postman Jimmy and his silent interaction with the walls of Dublin.

Issue 2, released July 2005, had 18 artists depicting the soundings of radio pirate Declan.

Now the unpublished issue 3 is available online!  This issue is shaped by the compulsive postmaster Raymond, and his encounter with the infamous Engineer.  Unlike the first two issues, where narrative and artwork are structured around each page, issue 3 is a sort of chronological timeline, with each character occupying a concurrent space on the page: Raymond occupies the top line of every page, while we trade between Declan, the Engineer, (floating crown), Jimmy and his mates in their simultaneous goings-on.

The website features all three issues available for download, as well as the original scripts, original artwork and alternative pages. http://www.growgnome.com

Artists featured in issue 3: Eoin An, Paula Banks, Jagu Bhomra, Bea Brennan, Leo Boyd, graf artists Choc and Trader, Nick Cassidy, Emma Fite-Wassilak, Chris Fite-Wassilak, Ruth Lyons, Janto McMullin, Steve McDevitt, Rob Mirolo, Eavan O’Sullivan, Eva Plazewska, Henry Place, Catherine Ryan, and cartoonist for UK publication the Liberal Ed Scott
