Episodes now with transcripts

Posted: 1 month ago

I've started adding transcripts to comics. Currently only new comics will have transcripts, but gradually I'll add transcripts to the archives. You can choose to "Show" or "Hide" transcripts, which will save a cookie to your browser ("Show stores the cookie, "Hide" deletes it). Transscripts are visible on the episode pages (permalinks) only, and not on the home page.

Squidman is back (last seen in ep #130), fencing his dodgy stuff again. This time it's Captain Slog who has fallen for an offer that really was too good to be true!

I see Squidman as a sort of 'Del Boy' type character. Also, I suspect that the lines "yer abuv-board and def'nitly legit merchandise" and "tha's me cue t' scarper" are going to be his catchphrases. My first character with an actual catchphrase - woo!

There are no alienaphobic intentions here* - the idea of a Cockney wide-boy being an alien squid is just too funny. It wouldn't be the same if I made him human.

* You'll remember that the forensic pathologist in 'Z Ships' is an alien, and of course Bob the Martian is a good guy.
