Lately, I've been thinking about the possibilities of putting together some work in compilations. I'm not keen to get back into any sort of self-publishing (having not missed it for the past several decades), but it'd be good to finish off some of this work for its own sake.

If I was to start putting books together, the most obvious first cab off the rank would be a Moth & Tanuki colour volume, collecting all the Mania episodes together, along with a few that didn't make it to the magazine, and one that subsequently appeared in Fist Full of Comics.

Although these ran as short funny 2-4 pagers, I always intended to do more episodes as "sequels" to some that appeared in the magazine, continuing stories or reprising popular characters. Here's a pencilled panel from one of those lost episodes.
