“Okay... Fuck. Let’s just chill here for a second and not do any drugs... This is called ‘straight edge.’”

Me gustan los "extras" y la maquetación, pero si hubiera sido entero con historias, habría sido aun mejor. Igual que el de los pingüinos, tiene de las historias más locamente auténticas en mucho tiempo.

This is easily one of my favorite zines from Simon. Collected in this zine is a collection of highlights from the first ten years of Simon’s Megg and Mogg characters. Great stuff!

Loses a star for being so dang small. My eyes hurt after I was done reading it. Otherwise it's a neat look at cutting room floor type art and some rarer stories.
But it is VERY small for being a 60 pg celebration of the characters.
The index page for anyone curious:
Hi, and welcome to the Megg & Mogg "Ten Year Anniversary Special" "Rarities and Oddities" November 2008-2018.
Notes: No page numbers. "In order of appearance".
Cover: was the cover to the third Megahex zine in 2011, then served as the header image on Tumbler 2012-present. Also used as a cover on the French and Spanish translations.
This page is text about DECADE.
The first ever Megg & Mogg strip (2008) laying atop a pile of trash from the collection of Alvin Buenaventura (RIP).
"Megg, Mogg & Michael Snow". 2008. From the first zine. Based on the films of Michael Snow. The one with the fixed, spinning camera.
Thumbnails for "Owl's Birthday". 2009.
Peanuts Doodle, 2012 (?), from some zine with Flowers... can't remember.
"Zine Fair" riso color layers. Sloppily made in brutal summer heat on Flowers' lightbox the week before I moved to the US. 2015. "Zine Fair" appeared in Dome and was recolored for "One More Year".
Megg Portrait. 2012. Was in a frame on a table at Inverted Dawn, an art show with HTMLFlowers in Melbourne.
Book build for Megahex. 2014.
"Television Network Meeting". 2012. For a Free Comic Book Day zine put together by Marc Pearson in Melbourne for a bagel shop.
High Priestess (2012). Tarot themed screenprint for Telegraph Books. This hangs above my toilet and I look at it a lot.
Buenaventura Trash. I sent him trash and he kept it in acetate slips.
"Sugar Sack". From the first zine, 2009. A classic.
Cover to Winter Trauma. A Zine from 2016.
Tour doodles for 2014 tour with DeForge and Kyle / tote bag doodles (French).
"No Brains". 2016. For a zine called "Castles in the Sky", edited by Mery Heers, based on a prompt from Leon Sadler.
Witch from erotic art show (2015) / cover for Scottish zine (2013?).
Laundromat doodle comic (2015) / Pitchfork / Gilmore Boys tour poster
"Werewolf Jones School of Rock" (2014), from the Pitchfork review, payed 1k. This is a terrible strip. Has never been reprinted. Ugh.
Gig poster / photo by Nick Gazen / back cover for French anthology / snippet of a strip for The Believer / painting (2012) / doujinshi advertisement / two pages from Kus that were cut from Megahex / One More Year gig flyer / shirt design for Ormolycka (2018) / 2-pager from French anthology (Feuk!) / drawing cut from WWJ & Sons 2 (for obvious reasons) / French costumes.
Xmas 2019 from Fantagraphics Free Comic Book Day thing 2018.
