Threadneedle Road #3 – Vegan
I’m so glad our vegan phase is over and I don’t have to do this anymore. (By the way, my scanner is not working, hence the photos.
DAN’S BACK PAGES
I’m reading Warren Zane’s Petty again. Any resolution I had to read more fiction and poetry this year was just sacrificed at the altar of the rock biography. And I was doing so well too! But one random spin of Full Moon Fever and I’m running for the facts, fables and revelations splashed over the pages…
Threadneedle Rd. #2 – Spotify
The first time that the free Spotify on my computer advertised Viagra to me, a little part of me died. I wish I could remember what I was listening to so I can avoid it for the rest of my days. My CD’s never did this.
Threadneedle Road
I’m toying with the idea of starting a four-panel strip. It’s called Threadneedle Road and will be based on my experiences as a 20-something musician in Galway (and hopefully morphing into its own thing. Let me know what you think.
New cartoon
This started off as an elderly Frankenstein’s monster reading in bed with his wife beside him (hence the glasses) but I couldn’t think of what the funny thing she would say could be, so it morphed into a retirement party.
Drawing a crowd
I have recently taken to drawing cartoons. I used to do a lot of drawing as a kid and studied art at school, but jetissoned it after school in favour of the outwardly cooler pursuits of playing in bands and, later, stand-up comedy. I am still a sometime stand-up conedian, but the trinity of Covid,…

NO SHOW LIKE A JOE SHOW
I hope you’re happy now, Joe Rogan – you’ve ruined Spotify for me. I was already on shaky ground with the feasibility of the whole ‘the entire library of Earth’s recorded music for a tenner a month’ thing, but Egad if you didn’t just go and make the whole enterprise seem filthier than putting your…
Tom Petty And How To Live
Bob Dylan once said that you can listen to Woody Guthrie and learn how to live. The more time I spend on this insufferable planet of ours, the more convinced I am that you could say exactly the same thing about Tom Petty. Tom Petty has been in my life since I was about seven…
The Slow Walk To Self-Publishing
I started messing around with self-publishing during the first lockdown. I had been listening to a lot of podcasts about independent authors who publish all their own novels. They’re an intense bunch to say the least, but I wanted to try to put out a small collection of stuff, just to see how it all…
