Uncle Funny Bunny and Chumpy
Cartoon Brew thinks this may be the worst comic strip ever created :
"Admittedly it’s aimed at children, and produced in the more innocent era of the early 50s. But the consistently corny gags, the awful stiff artwork… surely this takes the prize. Unless one considers the Weekly Reader’s back up strip: Loki, Your Fuzzy Forest Friend."
I kind of like it myself. I'd say there are thousands of worse comics than this out there! There are more samples here.

Ethel Sparrowhawk
An early Christmas present from Steve Tillotson... you can download a pdf of the out-of-print Ethel Sparrowhawk issue 1 right here right now for free. It's one of the best comics to come out of the British indie comics scene and well worth a read.
And when you've read that, there's a brand new issue available :
I've been too cheap and lazy to acquire it, but judging by these pages, it'll be great.

Mawil and Trondheim in Glasgow this Wednesday
From Forbidden Planet's blog : "This week in Glasgow there’s a rare chance to see and hear two highly acclaimed comics creators from the European scene, with Mawil and Lewis Trondheim appearing in the city’s Goethe Institut (in conjunction with the Alliance Français) on Wednesday 25th November at 7pm. The evening will be chaired by cartoonist, publisher and lecturer Marc Baines; from the description: “Both will give short presentations highlighting the influence of ‘ordinary’ life, daily routine and everyday concerns which characterise their work. How do they manage to illustrate everyday life stories on transforming the ‘mundane’ into exciting and interesting drawings that draw their reader into their books, and how important is the text?“ There will be a display of both creator’s artwork and some of Mawil’s books will be available to purchase (Mawil, of course, has had two collections translated into English and published by Blank Slate, We Can Still Be Friends and Sparky O’Hare)."
There's also a workshop. Cool!

Here
Richard McGuire’s ‘Here’. Adapted and directed by Timothy Masick.
Apparently this film has been doing the rounds, but I just found it on the Comics Bureau.
Read McGuire’s strip Here.
