In The Curly Head Ballet, Natasha finds herself in a village of fairy spirits where she learns to dance. The Curly Head Ballet is a 32 page original story told in comic book format printed and hand bound as a first edition printing of 24 copies.
Fresh off of the desktop, this year’s collection of cartoons is live and available as a PDF digital download with 89 cartoons across 52 high resolution pages.
It is beginning to look like it’s going to be easier – and a bit more straightforward – to have one store at Society6. It will feature basically prints and mugs. We would love to put up various prints of the Londontlife cartoons, but feel they won’t always have a universal appeal. The Londontlife material is fairly siloed so we will put up some selections and will see how it goes interest-wise.
We won’t be at London Comic this year. Some registration mixup had delayed our registration until any available tables were sold out. Doug’s prints sold well enough last year.
The Society6 store https://society6.com/dougrogers hosts a bunch of things. https://society6.com/art/london-tree-cuts is the direct link to Tree Cuts.
There may yet be a few copies of It’s A LondOntLife #1 at Brown & Dickson. We are really negligent. We’ll have to check. But the last one we physically held went to a person at Free Comic Book Day May 7 2022 in downtown London.
We prepped and printed two books for Tingfest set for Spring of 2020 and soon, we will have two more books with cartoons from 2020 and 2021.
Some upcoming in-person locations: could be a rumoured TingFest 2022 and London Comic Con. The LondOntLife bookstore is here:
When we discarded Cartoonlife, of course we did a backup. That backup somehow remains linked to here, the renamed Samupress. Some of it is interesting enough to keep and sort to other pages or blogs, or linked to their books. Soon.
Finally, we are finished the layout for the book collecting cartoons from 2020. It has been that long. And just in time to start the book for 2021.
Now, find a printer. Find distribution.

You can review the Monsters as blog posts here.
Originally drawn near the end of July or early August in 2002, I thought I might redraw it – as much as it is actually a drawing – prompted by the example of the bird finding seed amongst the gravel in the RSAnimate re-lecture by Ian Mcgilchrist on brain hemispheres.
An iBooks 2 version of the cat book is now up on iTunes at: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/book/cat/id499745919?mt=11. Its a free download. Signed print versions are still available.
