Well, I did in fact draw up a copy of the first 3 issues of Q&V and framed them, and got them into my local art gallery, What If..

It was fun getting it all together, and actually showing off my work. Nobody bought it - I’ve no idea why, 10 pounds was a real bargain! - so it has returned home with me and is on my wall. If anyone is interested in having prints of their favourite issues made up and framed do let me know, it could be an interesting sideline for me. Or if you’ve got any other creative ways that you’d like to use Q&V, drop me an email.

Well, I’ve been back from Sweden for many months now. It was a wonderful experience. Now, although I haven’t made any kind of commitment to having Q&V return as a regular thing online, I did draw a one-off issue as a submission to a magazine recently. It wasn’t accepted, so I thought it’d be cool to share it with you, and let’s see where it leads. I’m also looking to get Q&V on the wall at a local art gallery near me - just a case of putting it together in a form I like and framing it. I’ll let you know how it goes - and who knows, maybe it’ll spawn an official Volume 3.

Until we meet again, keep drawing and keep laughing,

Well, it’s been many months now since a new issue has been drawn, Q&V must really be enjoying their Cloud Talk. I’m off to Sweden for a while, so it’s not likely that there’ll be any more issues forthcoming… until such time as there is, you never know.

The site will stay open for your viewing pleasure, at least until August when the years’ subscription is up, but probably longer. All things must pass away in time, but with enough money, I can be immortalized on the internet for as long as it exists!

Be cool, and keep drawing!

Love,

Lewis

My LORD! Nearly 4 months since the last update, and I gave no word of my sudden disappearance either! Q&V, what have you been up to in all that time? Come to think of it, what have *I* been up to? Life is strange and unfolding, perhaps it’s time for Q&V Volume 3… watch this space.

In the meantime, I’d like to bring your attention to a new webcomic which I found most amusing…. for the most part. Like all good pieces of expression, it is not designed to necessarily be understood by everyone at all times, a trick I have used very often here at Q&V. Sometimes we can only wonder at what it is that someone finds so funny, and maybe have a chuckle at that. And heck, the drawings are great, I love simple cartoons!

So, I urge ye, visit HandRooster, and share the humour with your friends as well!

As promised, an extra special Christmas Time issue. This was originally the strip that was printed on Rob’s T-shirt when he won the first ever Q&V competition back in 2004. It was then stated that it would be a completely unique strip, never to be seen elsewhere. Well, it really was something special, and quite frankly, I’m surprised I’ve managed to contain myself this long without putting it into the public domain for people to view. So I hope Rob will forgive me for sharing the wealth now, he did at least get 2 years of exclusivity - but rest assured, there may never be a t-shirt like his one.

Hope you all had a good Christmas, and a Happy New Year to ya.
