Love that old comic style!
Is this a new page then? Because I’m sure I recognise the photo on the bottom-left panel…
And congrats for being exhibited!
This is an old one, and, unfortunately, the last one until I can get the next page reworked. I’ve been busier than I expected, but I have had the chance to rewrite and start re-roughing the next 40 pages. I just wasn’t happy with the way they were before.
So, how long before we see new pages? Next year? I’m willing to wait (though none of us want to!)
I love this, the art, style and written font is very Tintin-esque – you even at the start of this story have Capt. Haddock’s twin brother as a chauffer!
I just want to know is it a tribute or have you learned from Herge’s art or from an art school with his influences or something?
It’s the Ligne Claire style of drawing/comics. Developed in France and Belgium, I think, with Tintin being the most popular comic to utilise it. Personally, I love it! It’s so clean.
Hi Les,
Stumbled across your Johnny Crossbones webcomic the other day and couldn’t stop reading it until I’d caught up. I absolutely LOVE your style and storytelling. I’m an instant fan and can’t wait for more!!!
Hope you won’t mind my saying, but your work reminds me of a modern – and better drawn – Tintin. Loving it!!!

Hahaha… sorry. I didn’t read the comments above mine. Oh well…
Happy New Year, Les!
like every year or so, will you just rerun Jonny from the beginning again?
So this is what I hate about web comics. Just when you get really into the story and start to love it, BAM! it stops updating for months. I just want it officially noted that I am having abandonment issues. And I’ve got a few tears of bereavement forming. The one consolation is that I am still working through the archives of Tune.
Hey I just found this comic and I really love it. I know that real life happens and you get really busy, but do you ever plan on finishing it? I love your art style and I would very much like to see what direction this comic takes :-/
Either way, keep being awesome!
hey I love this comic so much I would buy two copies of a book to see it finished . If you started a kick-starter campaign I would totally donate. Dont let such a fine story die without an end
So looking forward to when this gets going again…or better yet, when I can buy a copy!
Thanks for all your hard work, Les.
So two things, I adore this comic, it is one of my favorites,
And what is up with the skeleton suit thing? he never takes it off, eats Through it, brushes his teeth through it, and nobody bats an eyelid at the fact that he’s wearing it.
[mind you that is one of the reasons I adore this comic, it kinda makes it look like no one else sees that he's wearing it or something, its awesome--but I do wonder at it]
