Pigs on a Train Part 258

I thought it was about time I let you have another one of these. I'm in the thick of it, finishing my book, so I'm a bit distracted and busy.

Anyway - kebabs, Dave, Carol etc

And don't forget about my patreon!

🚨 WAS THAT NORMAL? by @avpotts.bsky.social has been acquired by Avery Hill!

This graphic novel captures that post-pandemic feeling of being stuck inside your own head, searching for spark, and wondering if you're getting everything wrong. Kickstarting next week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

I've been drawing so much rain over the past week that I was surprised when I looked out the window and it was fine

More from my graphic novel in progress.

I coloured this yesterday, and I'm so happy with it that I thought I'd put it out into the world today.

Poor Dave!

We're still in front of the telly ,eating kebabs and watching the football, but I get the feeling that things are going to change soon

Pigs on a Train Part 256

Some food is weird to eat off a plate. Chocolate bars are one. Doner Kebabs are another. But Carol doesn't know that.

Pigs on a Train Part 255
2-0 to Chesterfield. Has that ever actually happened? I've no idea and I don't care. There are people out there that do, but they're not going to ever read this
This one's a bit blurry, because I was away from home, and more importantly, my scanner

I've got no particular plan this week apart from to put out lots of comics that you haven't seen

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · 19d

My Patreon is now six episodes ahead of my other social media. Just saying...

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · 19d

Yes! How would something like that happen?

Pigs on a Train Part 253

This one's been on Patreon for a few weeks, but now I've decided to release it into the wild.

New page is out now on Patreon.

I'll probably share a load of pages on here next week, but if you want it sooner, then you can probably work out what to do about that. And if you can't please ask and I will help.

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · 29d

I'll share it on here soon, but if you can't wait, it's pretty cheap to see it right now. And it's really easy to go back in time and read it all from the beginning. There's a link in my bio.

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · 29d

Yeah, so I'm still working on the graphic novel. And I'm still thinking about how to get more people to see my comics. So this panel is just a preview of what's going on with Pigs on a Train, over on my Patreon.

Phew

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · Sep 4

Oh man, maybe you told me that and then I accidentally stole the idea

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · Sep 4

That was part of my process! I put everything on multiply layers, and then realised it looked a bit like something Gareth would do

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · Sep 4

I've been engrossed in getting my graphic novel finished lately, so haven't been doing as much on Pigs on a Train.
Here's a preview of one of the chapters of my new book. There are seven pages, one on top of the other. If you're clever, you'll be able to work out what's going on

Alex Potts @avpotts.bsky.social · Aug 29

The next page of Pigs on a Train is out now on Patreon

I'll share it here in a week or so, along with the rest, but if you're impatient, you can read it now right away
