There have been a few changes with the Mr. Smoozles comic strip. The first is that I’ve returned to the art duties and have moved the strip size up to something a little larger. There has also been a change in design with all the new pages taking on a slightly cleaner look that suits …
As if I don’t have enough to do, I’ve created yet another new comic strip, Baked Beans, which I intend to update on Thursdays and Saturdays.
