Robot Sex, Human Error
It's been far to high-brow and worthy around here lately. Bring on the sweating middle-aged perverts! Click to embiggen.
That doubles up nicely as a reasonably apt description of Dave Alexander who worked his artistic magic on this one, which libidinously lumbered into Wasted #8.
The Final Zurprise!
With Wasted retiring from the physical world to exist solely in the ghostly realm of digital downloads from issue #8, it seemed an appropriate time to conclude the Kinder Zurprise running gag:
...and in an irrevocable ret-con-proof fashion at that. Art duties by lactating parkour-master Paul McCann. We also sneaked this one in just prior to that, because it's important to honour the dead.
These both crawled from the earth then exploded into microscopic space dust back in Wasted #8.
Wasted #8 is Upon Us!
Issue #8 of Wasted is out now from Alan Grant's Bad Press Ltd. Available in comic shops, newsagents and heather funeral pyres all over the UK and online here!
You'll find all manner therein, including some by written by me: Robor Sex, Human Error with art by Dave Alexander and more Zinder Surprise had with Paul McCann!
In fact, with this being the final print issue of Wasted before it moves to online only, it seemed an appropriate time to irrevocably conclude and gloriously retire the Zinder Surprise strips, which go out with an enormous bang!
It also seems an appropriate time to salute the Wasted crew. The costs and efforts involved in keeping Wasted going and considerable indeed, and the heroic efforts of the likes of Jamie Grant and Rob Miller have kept it moving ahead in challenging times. Kudos to you, gents.
I'm pretty proud of my contributions to Wasted. I've had strips in every issue and have somehow managed to exist in the nebulous space of writing oddball humour strips that aren't strung out on drugs but sit alongside other contributions fairly comfortably, and it's been an honour to see a mag on the hallowed comic shelves of Forbidden Planet or wherever else that has some of my work in it. I
It's also through Wasted and the Hope Street Sky Dungeon that I've met many of the artists and collaborators I do a lot of comics with, and now consider to be friends. Or at least, fellow underground scumbags. Thanks you rowdy lot!

Kinder Zurprise
Like chocolate? Like toys? Like the kids to be quiet for just ten goddamn minutes? Then Kinder Surprise is the treat for you! Unless you're an American, in which case this won't mean anything to you and you can blame the FDA for that.
Kinder Zurprise, in which eggs are opened and drama ensues, has featured in every issue of Wasted so far and features fabulous art by the talented and moustachioed Paul McCann! However, as Rob Granito would say "All good things must come to an end..." and so with Wasted #8 which is due out in May, we'll be wrapping it up in style...
Here's some of my favourites...

Here's a wee preview:
And this issue's cover is a bombastically sexy Nazi-Undead-Fetish sexbomb by Alex Ronald from the 'Vampire Vixens of the Wermacht' strip contained therein. Yowza!

Don Thy Pimp Helm
Flee! Run for your lives, as I unleash a howling monsoon of shameless self-promotion!
Gavin Lees of The Comics Journal has profiled Glasgow's Hope Street Studios in this short documentary, wherein you can see interviews with the myriad hideous villains who frequent the studios (including, erm, me...)
You can also see Hope Street's Frank Quitely hard at work and Jamie Grant talk on the craft of comics.
And there's a series of ongoing Q+A's with Wasted alumni talking about the mag, you can see mine here.
Also, something is coming... something is coming...

No One Could Resist My Incendiary Riffs...
An absurdist cautionary tale on the dangers of Guitar Hero which was in Wasted #4 a few months back. Art by Dave Alexander.
It was later pointed out to me that South Park had already done this joke. What can ya do?
Wasted #5 Is Upon Us!
Issue #5 of Wasted is out now from Alan Grant's Bad Press Ltd. Available in comic shops, newsagents and fight-pits all over the UK and online here!
You'll find all manner of brash and bawdy thrills and spills therein, including some by written by me: Omniscient Zorgo with art by Rob Miller and Zinder Surprise with Paul McCann. You'll also find me in the guise of Dr. Hemp on a couple of letters - one Kafka gag deserves another.
Thanks also to Cheryl Cole for making my malaria gag unexpectedly topical. Here's a preview!
