Two-Coats McWhinnie

2c1_resize.jpg

Two-Coats McWhinnie is a strip that Jonathan Edwards did together with Ian Carney in 1999 about a kid who decides to wear two coats at a time. It was supposed to be published as a Slab-O-Concrete Missive Device (a combination of postcards and comics), but unfortunately Slab went belly up before Two-Coats was ever printed. And now Jonathan reveals it in all its glory on his blog, I Heart Pencils.

I think it’s a gem, and I’m glad it’s resurfaced. A story that encompasses this amount of tragedy in only sixteen panels is very rare indeed. Thanks, Jonathan !

    [...] Jonathan Edwards has the very cool comics strip Two-Coats McWhinnie up on his I Heart Pencils blog; it was to be published by Slab-o-Concrete but they went the way of too many small publishers before it came out - now Jonathan has the whole thing up to enjoy on his blog, so go and enjoy a good read.

    Thanks for the kind words about Two-Coats. It’s nice to know it’s appreciated after all these years hidden away.
