I am a legal journalist at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. I work for a tiny agency that covers the High Court, Court of Appeal and House of Lords (the highest court in the land) and sells stories to local newspapers, national newspapers and specialist titles. We also exclusively supply copy from these courts to international news agency Reuters. Bet you're sorry you asked now, eh?:)

[Bullseye]

Kick ass Jess. That guy must be fit. I've tried that on a number of occassions. Normally involves strings though:)

...and you get paid by the word, which explains a lot. You just keep forgetting that that does not apply here. :laugh:

Nice work by the way!

thanks for the reply. It all makes sense now. You're a writer.
hummm a " legal journalist", Interesting.

I'm just thinking you're too good, not to be doing these strips proffessionaly. Can't you use your work connections to get yourself a strip somewhere?

The best strip ever done by a British barrister was by John Cleese in "A Fish Called Wanda". :)

Hey DF, I guess they can't all be winners... :)

The idea is that 'Do you like romantic comedies' would be less frightening than 'Do you like scary movies'...

Hope the job is going well!

Thanks. But the sound of crickets chirping suggests that this one fell flat. I best tear up the next strip, based on an existentialist French art film...;)

Hey furie,

I drew it and painted it myself. Check out the Peanuts Meets Marvel gallery in this very section (by clicking on my sig) to see all the other ones I've done. :)

[JDH]

Bat Collector and CK13's girlfriend -

Thanks! I've just taken the bullet out of the gun, and it's all down to the two of you!;)

For excitement, it's been a great couple of years - Scottish cup final last year, great escape from relegation this year. Fabulous stuff. Then again, nothing to compare with winning the European Cup final from 3-0 down, I guess. Still, at least our lads get a summer holiday this year!;)

[Bullseye]

yeah pre-qual sucks. BTW got you pic framed looks great. I will be putting in an order for a number of pieces after my hols in September. So don't throw out the masters!:)

I can't believe Liverpool will be playing again on 12 or 13 July. Insane. Oh well, at least the Champions League is marginally more accurately named now they are actually in it.

As for the other news - great! Take a shot of it framed and post it if you can, I'd love to see it! Give me a bit of lead-time when you know what you fancy, as August and September should be my best months for getting some drawing and painting done!

[Bullseye]

I like the Spidey and Phoenix of course. But you have released a few others between know and September. Also love the Thor v Surfer.

[Bullseye]

Actually have you thought about doing the iconic image of Spidey in the rain?

[JDH]

That's not actually the one that's coming, but I'd be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind to do in the future...;)

Am I mixingh things up, or is there another strip of yours I'm forgetting at the moment?

Isn't there another one???

(BTW...you have got a freaking wealth of amazing strips...I wish I were rich so I could get them published.
You are absolutely amazing. Why don't you try submitting any of your stuff to Kinf Features Syndicate???
YOU ROCK!!!!!

No that's it, apart from the Peanuts pics. And I just write Year One, Mike does the hard bit. And these Two Thumbs Up strips were drawn years ago - there's one left I haven't posted yet. I'll have to put it up...

There's a couple of possibilities that could make things more streamlined. Fingers crossed!

[Wolverine1]

Wow, I finally looked around and saw these and they are funny. Great job, jdh!

[valemeister]

LOL! I just found these floating at the bottom of the threads here and they are too funny. I particularly liked the Terminator one. LMAO!!!!

You should definately do more of these.

[boobhound]

[MerriemsDaughter]

It is criminal that this strip isn't being published by hundreds and hundreds of newspapers in the USA.
This is a surefire hit...everyone goes to the movies,most of us Americans are sorta-obsessed with film, film stars and Hollywood celebrities and I bet this would get laughs out of everybody!!!!

[Bullseye]

The best comic relief I've read in sometime. I agree with MD these should be in some newspaper.

[otakurabu888]

This is pretty funny. I really enjoy the simplicity. Reminds me of when I would read the Sunday newspaper's comic section when I was younger. :D Definitely will keep reading this.

[risingstar]

Those were sky-hi-larious!
