Oh, so you want MORE comics, do you? Well I've got your more comics RIGHT HERE! I do hope you like them.
This is a selection of comics I wrote and drew for The Dandy between 2010 and 2012. Here you'll find George vs Dragon, Boo the useless ghost and many more besides!
All strips here are © DC Thomson and Co.
George vs Dragon

The first strip I successfully pitched to The Dandy, re-imagining the classical tale of St. George and the Dragon as a slapstick farce in the style of Tom and Jerry. It ran between 2010-2012, and keeps popping up in annuals to this day - keep your eyes peeled for the 2021 Dandy annual! |
Boo!

Boo! was the second series I got published in The Dandy, following the misadventures of a really terrible spook. |
Harry and his Hippo

Another idea I pitched was a revival of the classic 80s Dandy strip, Harry and his Hippo. This was my take on it, and it proved popular enough to win a reader's poll to get a full series! Hip-hippo hooray! |
Cavemen in Black

Movie and TV parodies were popular in the revamped Dandy, so this was my contribution - a spin on Men in Black featuring dinosaur-hunting cavemen. |
Bad Grandad

I was thrilled to be asked by Dandy deputy editor Michelle O'Donnell to co-create a new strip called Bad Grandad, featuring the titular poorly-behaved pensioner. The strip was well received by readers and he too will be returning for the Dandy annual 2021! |
Mini-strips

Dave the Squirrel made many cameos in some of my other strips before finally graduating to his own mini-strip in The Dandy. |

The Not-So Mighty Thor, a parody of...well, you know. |
I hope you've enjoyed scrolling through these comics! Stay tuned for more funnies in the future!
