Villains

MWAHAHAA! A story can only truly be judged on the strength of its villain, those moustache-twirling, black-wearing purveyors of bad deeds and insidious ploys. I’ve always been fascinated by fictional bad guys in all forms of fiction, so here’s a category devoted to the dark side. Today, the category. Tomorrow, the world! BWAHAHAHAH! They called me mad, you know.

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 3)

Detulux Incorporated

Last year I sat down with Sam to discuss our webcomic Detulux Incorporated. We released the first part last year on the ten year anniversary of the comic, and the second part just before Christmas last year. It’s taken this long to properly edit down and add images to the…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 2)

Detulux Incorporated

You might not know this, but I write a webcomic called Detulux Incorporated which my recently-engaged fiancĂ©e draws. I used to draw it, but I was doing it wrong so she took over the art duties. Earlier this year we posted up a retrospective of my earlier efforts, and I’ve…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 1)

Detulux Incorporated

Ten years ago this day, I uploaded a comic strip to my new DeviantArt1 account. It was to be my first foray into producing comics online. Detulux Incorporated follows the misadventures of Mr. Pain, a white-suited bespectacled arms dealer and his team of misfit henchmen and mercenaries as they find…

Manchild at Play: Paint Your Own Gromit Redux (Dick Dogstardly the “Bad Dog”)

Evil Sneer!

At the beginning of the year I wrote about a Paint-Your-Own Gromit model I did up in the style of Peppa Pig. What I didn’t mention in that post was that I had actually bought two models – one for my relative, and one for me. The reason for this…

Derren Brown is a Malevolent Supervillain

Derren Brown, straight out of a gangster film.

I’m a big admirer of Derren Brown. He’s managed to convince 99% of people that he’s simply a stage conjurer who uses a combination of psychology, hypnotism and good old-fashioned misdirection in order to give people a good time. This is in fact a lie, and I know this because…

Manchild at Play: Jokermania

1966 Joker in box.

I’ve always had a little bit of an obsession with Batman, particularly when it comes to the Joker. I don’t know why I’ve always had this fascination with the purple-dressed pale-faced psychopath, especially since I do suffer from coulrophobia1. My fascination started with Jack Nicholson’s portrayal in the Tim Burton…

The Many Diabolical Machines of Dr. Robotnik

Classic Dr. Robotnik Figure with EggRobos

Very recently I fixed a small injustice in my life, by spending what most would class as an extortionate amount of money on a small figure my five year old self was denied, not because my parents didn’t buy it for me, but because it simply didn’t exist. It’s Dr….
