The new issue of Mania magazine (#69, Feb. 2007) is out - spot Tanuki on the cover!

Inside you'll find two more 2 page strips featuring Moth & Tanuki. These are a bit different in style, as I've grown into the format.

Both strips this time feature Mothy a bit more. Originally, I'd set up the stories to alternate featuring either Moth or Tanuki, but some necessary reshuffling of episodes has meant these two ran together.




There's always a balance between gag-based and character-based strips. I think this is pretty much one of each. The second one is probably a good indicator of the way ideas come about (regular readers of my blog will know where this one came from - see the pic above).

From here on, it'll be 4 page mini-epic stories, which is a great format to work with - there's scope for plenty of action and storytelling.
