Real Life Comic: Our Excuse  

Why are we always late? What can we be doing all the time, if not preparing updates for this web site? This month’s comic tells you all about preparations for the new year in Japan, and explains how it’s busy enough to delay anything.

Neko Manga: New Stories  

Wild cat food hunting champion Maru makes his Neko Manga debut, and shows off his successful food-stealing technique. Plus another brief attempt to figure out what’s going on between Kyoku and Boss Hana.

January 2005 Playlist   

Brand-new (more or less) releases, by not-so brand-new people. Nick Cave produces his best collection in years, The Cure make a fresh start, and Radiohead continue to impress with two strong new albums. A hopeful collection to start the new year – even though all these artists are usually taken to be gloomy.

Life with the Cats  

So who are they? We started off fighting them, then we tried to live with them, and now one of them (at least) lives with us. In the end, they always win. These pages chronicle the history of our life with the cats.

Photography: Exhibit One
Olympus OM10  

The Olympus OM10 arrived in the summer of 2002, and served for the next couple of years as a useful and valued camera for colour work. Fairly high speed film, long lenses, automatic exposure, and bugs, cats and flowers – gifts from light in the garden followed this gift from a friend.
