Hello. It’s been a while! Burger #2 is still sizzling away guys!!

It will be ready when it is ready. But suffice to say that .vomit.comics is killing it.

Here is a WIP page featuring Rhonda.

If you haven’t already, please sign up for the prelaunch page on our kickstarter. Link in bio!

Realistically we are talking in the new year some time. But it is coming!

                                                     

22/06/2023

So excited to announce that .vomit.comics will be taking over as artist on BURGER #2!!

While it is sad to see go I couldn’t think of anyone better to continue the carnage.

Development is back in full swing and can’t wait to share with you new art, and an updated plan for the next Kickstarter!

In the meantime, feast your eyes on some of his previous work. Another twisted melon in just the right way. 🪱

And all our previous collaborators’ amazing work is going to be back on offer… so buckle up!

LET’S GO!

BIG NEWS!

Those of you that have been riding the BURGER train may have noticed that things have slowed down… to put it mildly.

Well due to circumstances beyond our control, sadly is unable to continue with the project. Partly this is to do with her being located in Russia and all the difficulties that causes at the moment, and partly for personal reasons I am not going to go into here. It is a sad, but mutual parting of ways.

I wanted to take the time here to acknowledge what an incredible job has done in building the visual style of Burger. She is completely self taught and has never done a comic before. A serious talent in my opinion.

We are hoping that when circumstances change we will be able to work together again and continue our collaboration. Who knows! Maybe even on a future issue of burger.

Here I leave you the last complete page that gorkloum has completed. Page 1 of issue 2!

We will be including this as a thankyou and homage to her fine work.

And that brings me to the next bit of news…

BURGER LIVES ON! The baton has been passed… and I couldn’t be more excited that .vomit.comics has agreed to carry the torch… some more mixed metaphors for you. How very BURGER.

CHAPTER 2 is back in full swing and we will have more news and a timeline soon!!!

Another awesome guest piece for Burger #2 from the incredible Tim Burden A.K.A !!

Definitely don’t trust the voice in your head. 🐌 🧠

This will be included in the print version of Burger #2!!

And on that front, we have some big news coming soon…

Hey! It’s been a while! Super chuffed to share this incredible guest piece for Burger #2 from the ridiculously talented and equally twisted Richard Bevan aka .vomit.comics !!

Hoping to include this in the print version when/if we can complete it. Finger 🤞

Absolutely loving this!

Huge thanks to the folks at The Awesome Comics Podcast for the excellent review of BURGER #1!!

Have a listen all! (Our bit is at the end but the whole episode is worth a listen!! ) :)

The world of original comic artwork gets the spotlight this week, and to join the ACP crew to talk about it is Alan Henderson (The Penned Guin). From big budget to bargains, from grail pages and covers to unique and personal sketches the chat is fun, entertaining and informative for those who don't....

Too much screen time is bad for your health!

So the good news first!

Chuffed to be able to share ‘a awesome variant for BURGER #2. Was a pleasure to collaborate. Love his 3d/rough hewn sketchy body horror vibes.

The bad news is that BURGER #2 is in a holding pattern at the moment due to factors out of our control. We are keeping everything crossed that we will be able to kick it off again soon but just aren’t sure ATM.

So for now the kickstarter is delayed. 😭 we will keep you posted of course! And please do still sign up to our landing page… good to have the support!

Hold on to your butts people! BURGER #2 ‘Tissue Damage’ is coming soon!!

Our prelaunch page is live so please click the link in our bio to show your support!

I can’t believe it has been a year but like a fine stew, this one needed some time to tenderise. 🍲

Whether you are new to BURGER or chomping at the bit for some more hallucinatory madness, we need your support so please spread the word.

Looking forward to dropping some more juicy details on rewards, new collaborators and other goodies over the next couple of months… but until then

Put on a brave face.

Happy Halloween y’all! 🎃 🦇

For those of you that missed it last year we put out a grunge inspired Halloween comic freebie featuring ‘s fantastic illustrations.

It was our first comic… it is mildly amusing and has an original grunge soundtrack to boot. This is the equally mildly amusing trailer for it that we spent way too much time on.

We will post the whole comic shortly but if you want the soundtrack I’m afraid you have to sign up to our mailing list on our website. Link in bio!! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Some process pages on BURGER #2 from the amazing ❤️

We have been quiet on the ol-insta front recently as life/work/children has this knack of monopolizing time. But work on BURGER #2 continues!!

We will try to keep drip feeding bits and bobs as we go… but hope y’all are patient.

That Wednesday feeling.

We didn’t think it was fair only a few people got to listen to ‘s disturbing original score to BURGER #1.

So enjoy… if that is the right word for the experience. 😵‍💫

Plan is to release 2 tracks with each chapter then an ultra limited edition vinyl pressing at the end. Because…. Why not!?

Burger reads burger!

For the top tier in our kickstarter our FIRST PATRON SAINT was drawn into this 1 of a kind macabre selfie inspired throne room hellscape…

‘s work and the print quality was too good to share.

Still 5 horrific endings left for our next chapters in case there are any budding patron saints out there!!
