Those of you who watch broadcast television and live your lives as slaves to the schedules should make space for a five minute slot on Channel 4 at 7.55pm on Thursday, just after the news, for the network premier of m’good friend Matt Abbiss’ short film Invasion, as part of their Mesh season.
Those of you who can’t be bothered with such nonsense should download the movie and watch it now.
It’s very good. Something of the sinister east European children’s book aesthetic about it. Well done Matt.
Beautiful.
I love the original strip and love Matt’s adaptation.
When people say say that British comics are fucked, possible responses to the contrary include the names Matt Abbiss and Tom Gauld.
Well done Matt, indeed.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Some really lovely dialogue delivered, and very distinctive creations of form, this is a good example of why Matt Abbiss is raved about.
Anon: that’s a great quote. Reveal yourself and you may find youself on the back of a book. ;)
Here’s a review of the Gauld original
Excellent – what a great start to the day.
My name’s Matthew Badham, but I’m a nobody and so consequently not very quotable.
Still, I now stand revealed.
Hey, it happened to me. I continue to take the reality double checks when something I writ ends up in big letters in a visible place. Is there a still a way to pick up viewng figures on something like this > And if you’re reading this Matt, Congratulations on a well done.
thanks!
I’m blushing.
