Terrible, dastardly deeds are afoot over in Phoenix Comic land.

If you’re a reader you’ll know all about the sneaky owl Barnaby (Barney) Knowles; about how he framed mild-mannered sub editor Chops Piggerton; about how it turns out that it was Barnaby who stole the magical Phoenix feathers all along. And if you’ve got this weekend’s Issue 10, you’ll know that the bad bird has half-inched the Phoenix Comic’s own time machine and scarpered with the feathery loot.

And if you don’t know about any of this, perhaps it’s time you subscribed. That way you won’t feel embarrassed when dinner party conversation inevitably turns to the saga of the time traveling, feather stealing, beaked baddy and you don’t know what anyone is on about. Think on.

I’ve posted my drawings above, which chronicle the Barnaby Knowles saga to date. Just to keep you in the loop(y).
