Max and Reuben

Hi there we are two cool kids who really care about the world. We are setting up a mag called Bark which we hope to sell to raise money to buy rain forest from the worldlandtrust.org. We want to tell you about how it's going right here.

They have given it a great review, why not take a look.

Reuben and me had a great time selling comics at the Zine fair. We raised £360. Since then we have raised another £200 by selling it at our school and other places. All money will go to the world land trust. If you would like a copy they are £3 and are available from MrBs Book Emporium in Bath, Page 45 in Nottingham and from my dads record label (jimlad at brianrecords dot co dot uk). Please check it out.

I really like the comic my dad did for Bark. This is just the title and first bit of the comic. If you think the title is Shde Box Steve well it's actually Shoe Box Steve. Oh I almost forgot to mention his awesome side kick Ninja Goldfish who has all the brainy ideas in this comic, no wait he doesn't really.

Jack Teagle has sent us this amazing and colourful comic featuring snake man with probably the best artwork I have ever seen. Super excited.

Today I drew the first pictures for my comic. Drawers block over! Hope you like it. Max ; -)

Really really really really nice piece of artwork by Lumberjack Joe. My fears of his drawings including tree slaughter were fortunately unfounded!

A brillllllllli-ont (aka brilliant) piece of artwork by Mair Thomas. Not sure about the stinging nettle fight!

It's almost the Easter holidays...time to get those submissions in

Hi human beings and other mammals this is fellow human being Max. Thank you so much for all the amazing responses to my call for submissions and the fantastic submissions we have received so far. Next week is the start of the Easter holidays and it would be super epicly awesome if you could send any submissions to my dad at jimlad at brianrecords dot co dot uk by the end of this week. For more details see my earlier post. Max

Really great comic submitted by Nick Soucek about a monkey who works in town but dreams of banana trees. Nick sent two versions a cool dot matrix version and this colour version. I prefer the black and white version but we couldn't get it to display properly. I think they both look awesome.

Really really really good artwork in my favourite colour. Love the style of this submission from real life archeologist Dr H.

Amazing comic by one of my favourite comic artists, Philippa Rice. This is just the first panel. The rest of it is awesome. Featuring my all time favourite Cardboard Colin. He's really carboardy and that's epic.

Call For Submissions

Hi. My name is Max, I'm a 9 year old boy. Me and my friend Reuben really want to riase £100 so we can buy a acre of rain forest. We thought of lots of different ways to raise money like a cake sale or washing cars but we thought making a comic would be way cooler.

We would love people to send in possible contributions to our comic for cool kids who love the planet. The theme should be the rain forest and the comic should ideally be two sides of A5 but no more than 4. We are just sorting out printing but Reuben’s dad is hoping that we can do the whole thing in colour (he’s a graphic designer so knows lots of people who print things). We are hoping to agree the content during the Easter holidays so if you could send your submissions by the beginning of April that would be epic. We are open to all suggestions including short stories, poems, colouring in pages but no spelling tests.

Submissions can be sent to my Dads email address jimlad at brianrecords dot co dot uk.

Depending on how many submission we get we cannot guarantee all submissions will be included in the comic but we will post any unprinted submissions on this website.

Finally to raise even more money we would love to auction off your original artwork, we hope that’s OK.

Do not forget to check for updates, online comics ,pictures and maybe even videos.
