Spooky Halloween Clog starring the Witches three....
Comic + Blog = Clog. Prophetic hallucinations in the form of mediocre 4 panel comic strips, Feat. The titular mechanical noggin Drone and equally titular unicellular lifeform Amoeba. Numbered blocks are based on the wonderful ’99 ways to tell a story: Exercises in style’ by Matt Madden (In turn inspired by Raymond Queneau’s ‘Exercises in style’); a story told in many different ways, exploring the boundaries of storytelling, imagery and text inside a tiny space. Created mostly using MS paint.

#22 Product Placement
It goes without saying that neither Drone, Amoeba nor myself received any cash, product or assistance whatsoever from any of the companies herein abused....
NB: should any person or company wish to give me money, for this or previous comic strips or for any reason, I will do anything, ANYTHING, for it. We at D&A have limited moral principles.

#21 Neologisms
Part 2 of a pair of Clogs with a Lewis Carroll theme. This Clog is notable for the being the first literary use of the word maggared. In this case the foes are maggared with the fatigue of defeat, whereby a more cromulent use would be fatigue through excessive oral consumption e.g. 'I have eaten 6 kilos of finest pate and now feel utterly maggared.'
#20 Mirror Universe
Part 1 of a pair of Clogs with a Lewis Carroll theme. This is also a gentle nod to the 'Star Trek' mirror universe tales. I was this close to giving Mirror Drone a goatee.

#19 Nested Stories
Nested tales. A story within a story within a story. Befitting Drone & Amoeba's repetitive styling the nesting forms a temporal loop meaning that the story can begin on any panel. The theme is traveling through time, meeting the Drone & Amoeba variants of bygone eras and distant futures..

Error 404. Talent Not Found
Moving from MS Paint to an actual media package? This could be too much. Here's my first attempt at Drone and Amoeba in Adobe Illustrator. There's clearly a lot I don't understand - but I still think it has an unfinished charm of its own....
