THIS WEEK BRINGS you the first of our 'Non-Humans' comics! Scroll down to the Cast of Characters and find out more about them. Nasty (or sometimes nice) critters which can barely call themselves human (and neither would they want to), their world is full of many trials and snares, yet they survive with varied amounts of Instinct, Skill and Cunning. In the case of Lame Champion Comics, they serve an obvious metaphorical purpose. But as I said before, don't tell them that; they don't like critics, and will most likely bite your leg off.
In
Light Lunch in the Abyss (also called 'Deep and Meaningful'), two deep sea Angler Fish are reminded that they need to be alert if they are going to fend for themselves in this life. This comic causes one to ask oneself a question: 'Who will I root for? The little tiny cute guys who wouldn't be out of place in a Pixar movie, or the big, predatory ugly guys with sharp needles for teeth, but a big heart and nothing more than an instinctual need for lunch? Lastly, where would I place myself in this story?'
It's serious. Think about it. That's what the Non-Humans do. Make you guys think about stuff.
I FELT THAT it was time for a new character, so here he is. Introducing Hercule Le One Man Band, Lame Champion's resident folk singer. In this - his debut appearance, at a small Provence pasta restaurant - Hercule realises that the locals will not be won over as easily as he once thought. C'est la vie, Hercule! Did I forget to mention the guest appearance of The Lurcher in this one, with his little doggy girlfriend? Awww.
