I think that could be Big Ken (proprietor of Ken’s Arcade), who Brian (it has been established) can lift both greased, and ungreased. I never established whether Ken or Brian was greased. You may be asking yourself, exactly how many terrifying bearded men are there in Tredregyn? The supply may be inexhaustible.

I’m not sure that a true child of chaos like Maggie should be allowed to use Indesign, no matter how good her intentions may be. Imagine the wayward kerning, loose tracking and playful application of Comic Sans and Fette Fraktur in juxtaposition. Shagrat are a real Cornish band.
Through this story we’ll explore the war between nature and nurture in former Satanist, Maggie Warren. The winner here… was nuture. Or was it nuture in the service of nature? Either way, she gave Billie some suspect advice that I am sure will cause no problems whatsoever..
Surfers always want a bloody tattoo saying something like “sand and water rule my mind” or “catch a tube” or “gnarly air grawg” or something like that. They’re obsessed with the bloody sea and trying to ride it like a bloody horse. Rumbelows was a UK electrical goods retailer that went bust when I was in my final year of school, 1995. A sad, sad day. Here’s a fact you’ll like: Rumbelows at some point bought out Brian Epstein’s NEMS stores, which you will no doubt be well aware of as a cornerstone of my comics universe.
When I started work on Steeple in 2018, I did not anticipate that dear Billie would end up naked as a jaybird, covered in runes, praying to a winged goat-man statue. But looking back, this was probably the only way things could have gone. And I like to think that when it happened, she remained true to herself. Is it ominous that this is the 11th page of the 11th issue of Steeple, published on the 11th day of the month?
I don’t know if today’s comic isn’t in some way more lurid than the last one. I’ll shoot for a little more decorum next week.
I’m not sure Reverend Penrose totally thought through the “train the girl” idea. It just sounded good on the doorstep. There were three versions of this page. Two of them.. were not very good.
Who are these interlopers? Who is Ferdy? Can you spot relatable new character “Nice Grandpa?”
If ever a page forced me to really think about those brush things that insulate letterboxes, it was this one.
