Rent

I met Rory McConville at Thought Bubble last year and talked about possibly collaborating down the line. Between other projects and life in general couldn't commit to anything longform.

Rory got back to me about doing little single page gag strips. So... we came up with this.


Tis but a page but great to collaborate with Rory, he's got great writing chops and really works hard at self-generating projects and work, commendable. The range of strips over on his Tumbr site are really worth taking in with a really nice diverse range of artists he's collaborated with so far. Hopefully get to work with him again down the line.
