I did 99.5%of the drawings on the day, then typed up and added the extra text and colour the next day. Then I wanted to print and bind it so that it can be a little stand-alone zine, so that’s what I’ve done :)

(TSO 162 is a tiny format (A8) …and I experimented with borderless printing…won’t be experimenting again with it for a while 🙃)

Tso stands over the dinner table before attacking the meal. Underneath the table, a mouse eats two kiwi fruits. Detective Tso sweeps up the haircut hair from the floor and then breaks the broom in half in anger at this task (all metaphorical, of course). As night draws in, a dance to the night spirits is required. They bring the moon and the stars. Tso goes to sleep under a patterned quilt. But it is owlet Oat’s time to shine, standing on the window ledge and waiting to leave into the night.

Oat the owlet is opening one eye to see if dusk has fallen…it has not…so it’s back to sleeping in the airing cupboard. Detective Tso watches the window. The window watches Hiccup that cat who is skulking in the undergrowth. Tso goes out into the forest again to see what has changed. The air smells of woodsmoke and the birds are settling down to roost. The trees look very big. As it gets dark, Tso writes up some case notes under the light of the lamp.

A hungry washing machine is fed with clothes. Then the clouds roll in across the sky and take away the brief sun. Detective Tso chats on the phone to a friend and twirls the phone cord at the same time. As it’s not warm enough outside, the clothes are put on the radiators. Each sock is put next to its friend. Lunch is here and is full of vegetables. Detective Tso has grown broccoli arm muscles. Strong.

I’ve also written a little bit of extra text for some of them which I’m going to try and type up later in the day and then stick on, time permitting…

When hermiting, it is best to have some cosy things around you, like a blanket, some books, and maybe a coffee/tea or even a hot chocolate (the cosiest) :) 🦔🦉

it is an A6 zine for January, with a card cover this time, and assorted stickers.
There’ll also be the moon set of comics as well…but they are a tiny bit unfinished so it’s a mystery today :)

In the meantime I’ve made a calendar…cutting it fine in terms of time before the new year…
it’s hand-cut and bound and the covers come in a few different colour ways.
Very limited edition 🙃

A calendar hanging from purple and white string on the wall. The cover of the calendar is illustrated with oak leaves. The cover of an illustrated calendar with red oak leaves. The January page of the calendar featuring Tso and Fraser holding hands, leaves, and patterns. Here is the cover of the calendar again but printed on yellow paper.
