“Bret Braddock” drafting
I spoke on a panel at the Emerging Writers Festival last week and gave a little presentation on how I draft an episode of The Bret Braddock Adventures (a weekly webcomic about a lousy workplace you should really be reading).
They let me put up some images of the stages in doing one of these comics. [...]
Sarge vs. Farnsy
In celebration of the fact that I finally finished a draft of our SBS proposal, here’s a picture of Sarge telling legendary Australian performer John Farnham what he thinks of him.

New Precinct pics
