Excerpt from “The Adventures of Guelph Erronious”
You’re looking at an excerpt from my first ever minicomic, “The Adventures of Guelph Erronious”. Only twelve copies were ever produced, mostly because I had to print them out on my Amiga’s old Okidata printer and it took around six hours per issue. I probably should have buried these comics deep in the Canadian Shield back when I had the chance, but then what would I do when I need filler in a hurry?
In some ways Guelph Erronious was a prescient comic. It featured sock puppets, gaming references, random humor, and was lovingly rendered in MSPaint DeluxePaint. In this day and age, all of those are webcomic staples.
Despite the awful badness of the above pages, I have to admit that there’s still a fond spot in my heart for old Guelph. He and Boffo will be returning in a brand new story some time next year… this time, I’ll keep the copy and pasting to a tasteful minimum.
Mischa’s Story will resume shortly.

Dan Silva is one of my gods, Okidata is my altar… Check out the dithered gradient.
Great minds and all that, I drew a comic last night that just read ‘I miss my Amiga’… I’ll leave it a couple of days, so that it’s not the same as wearing the same dress as your friend to a party.
