The Goldfish

When pulling together Phonogram trade back-matter this weekend, I found myself rooting through my hard-drive. I found the JPGs of a comic Andy Bloor and myself did for Scar Comics’ Dead By Dawn anthology comic, which I’d pretty much completely forgotten about. It’s called The Goldfish and was inspired when I found myself drunkenly obsessed with some particular tatty looking aquarium fish in an Exeter Chinese Restaurant. Always with the booze and the staring. Reading it again, I found myself surprised that I quite liked it. It’s still far too obscure for its own good, of course, but what else is new, eh?

Anyway, I figured it was worth lobbing online, so Andy’s done that. Go read! Start the week with a piece of grim existentialist horror.

Allegory so thick you could stab it with a penknife. I do believe “The shit goes…” is my new catch-all to be used when faced with the unexplainable.

[…] week started off right, here’s a fun little comic from Kieron Gillen and Andy Bloor called The Goldfish. It’s a cheerful little thing about rainbows and the eternal hope of mankind. Or not. […]
