JINKSY JILL & HANDSOME BILL - IN COLOUR!


Written (okay, nicked), drawn, lettered & coloured by KID ROBSON

You may recall me saying I might get around to colouring my JINKSY JILL & HANDSOME BILL strip from a caption competition I inflicted on you a good while back - well, here it is.  I used acrylic inks to colour an A4 photocopy so it's not BEANO quality standard, but considering I had to re-ink parts of it (due to the colours obscuring the linework), I'm surprised it didn't come out looking a lot worse.  There's something to be said for computer colouring - it makes things a lot easier.  It's just a shame that I don't have access to it.

Anyway, feel free to lie and say how good you think it is (and how brilliant I am).  If I can lie to myself, one of yours isn't going to hurt.  (Click on image to enlarge to optimum size.)

"ENTER FREELY, AND OF YOUR OWN WILL..."



This is where I live on my family estate.  It's a graveyard, and I have this nice little crypt-house, which, much like the TARDIS, is far bigger in the inside than it is on the out.  There's me in the photo below emerging in time to look for something to eat.  There's always some foolish mortal passing through to provide a tasty snack, and being a graveyard, disposing of the leftovers is no problem. 

Despite its severe exterior, it's really quite comfy inside.  You may find that hard to believe so take a look at the pictures below.  There's an underground room where I keep a few of my collectables, and I thought you might like to see them.  But one word of warning - if you ever visit and the church clock starts to toll the midnight hour, get out as quickly as you can before the final chime strikes.  Otherwise you're solely responsible for whatever fate may befall you.  (Buuurrrrppp!  Pardon me, I've just had a bite of someone something.)  Anyway, enjoy the pretty pictures.
