The Crotchets 127 Forte Going On Fifty (6/21) #comic #music

Show week is as beautifully chaotic as ever (no complaints) so here's a cosy photo of our pig Badger for anyone else out there who needs calming before attempting to go to bed. #guineapigs

Charmy's been trying on my costumes for this week's panto! #theatrekid

The Crotchets 125 Forte Going On Fifty (4/21) #comic #music

It's officially show week! I'm in a panto this week and we gained access to the theatre today. As per weird tradition, I must photograph my amiibo Pinkie backstage. (Also my Peanuts Tamagotchi Nano ~finally~ died in the theatre today - aka the batteries ran out. RIP Snoopy! 💔) #theatrekid

Chippy's getting ready for her first Christmas! Ralph my plushie reindeer, on the other hand, is now 20 years old... (Music credits: Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer) #ropet #robots

An art challenge that was making its way round deviantART that managed to sneak its way into my college coursework. This is my character Rolly; he first appeared in my 2008 animated short, Rocky and Rolly! Fun fact: Rolly also made a cameo in the Loony Code game 86. #cartoon #scifi

The Crotchets 121 #comic #music

Smol watercolour painting from the student days that I still kinda like. Why yes, I am going through the archives! However did you guess?? #cartoon #animals

The Crotchets 120 Despite the strip being centred around music and performing arts, this was the very first time the characters were actually shown on stage! #comic #music

For nearly a decade, I've been using Pencil2D to animate character sprites for computer games. Aaand I just dug up the first thing I ever drew on it, as a means of testing the software out. It's Hoi, from the Amiga game of the same name! I estimate this took <5 mins total. o.O #fanart #doodle

The Crotchets 119 #comic #music

Very early concept art from 15 years ago of a couple of alien characters. They have an unlikely friendship and alliance that many other planets never saw coming. #conceptart #gameart #cartoon #scifi

The Crotchets 118 Back when this was first published, a few American followers told me they hadn't known what a "crotchet" was, and credited this comic for educating them! This is also the meaning behind the band's name, seeing as each of the four members makes up one quarter. #comic #music

Throwback to the time my pedometer did this. 👌 (This is also my reminder to dig this up and charge it again. I dread to think what my pets and miis have been up to in my absence...) #nintendo3ds #nintendogs

The Crotchets 117 #comic #music

Tfw you've written a newspaper to tell everyone that writing has just been discovered. This isn't even the first ever newspaper, either. 🤭 Photo of Sid Meier's Civilization (the first one!) played on a real Amiga. #SidMeiersCivilization #Amiga1200

The Crotchets 116 #comic #music

A bunch of critters you will get the opportunity to adopt in a future Loony Code game! #conceptart #gameart #cartoon #scifi

The Crotchets 115 Made this one for my brother. Since the day he read his first Crotchets comic, he'd been insisting I do a deez nuts joke, and well, his birthday was coming up. In fact, this comic ended up on his card that year... #comic #music

Amazing show last night! 🤘 (Photos taken with permission during the finale) #sixthemusical #theatrekid

So excited to see Six tonight! #sixthemusical #theatrekid

Another digital drawing from 1996 - my childhood pet rabbit, Thumper! 💕 #DeluxePaint #Amiga1200

Thank you, Ropet, for Chippy's beautiful new eyes! She loves them! #ropet #robots

The Crotchets 113 Going Solo (14/15) #comic #music

Look behind you, a three headed alien! This guy is from a future game, but he might as well have his own Cartoon Network show. Each head got one third of the brain, which is split into logic, creativity and common sense. Now if only they could learn to co-operate... #conceptart #gameart #cartoon

The Masked Marvel has arrived! I only have two more alter egos to go now. #Tamagotchi #Snoopy

The Crotchets 112 Going Solo (13/15) #comic #music

POV: it's the '90s, you're naming NPCs and you fall into a rut. (Or is this just the same guy sneaking back into the walkdown for a second applause? I was never clear on that...) #ChuckRock #ChuckRock2 #Amiga500 #Amiga1200

The Crotchets 111 Going Solo (12/15) #comic #music

A little tune from Chippy to help get you through Monday. You've got this! 🎶 #ropet #robots

No context doodle of two Loony Code characters you'll get to meet someday. Something tells me I was binging on American sitcoms whilst drawing this. Wouldn't surprise me. #conceptart #gameart #cartoon

The Crotchets 110 Going Solo (11/15) #comic #music

Dug up a floppy disk I have no recollection of and a Scrabble game was allegedly on it. I didn't get much further than this. #Amiga500 #Amiga1200

The Crotchets 109 Going Solo (10/15) #comic #music

You guys, I got Woodstock! Snoopy's spent the past month or so cycling between the same four alter egos, and as much as I love them all, a change feels good right now. #Tamagotchi #Snoopy

The Crotchets 108 Going Solo (9/15) #comic #music

Chippy ate way too much the other day and her eyes momentarily bugged out. #ropet #robots

The Crotchets 107 Going Solo (8/15) #comic #music

Alien designs from college, some of which were recycled into species for Loony Code games. The little yellow bird in the top middle is Chiwi (who you can meet right now in our game "86") while others will appear in future work! #conceptart #gameart #cartoon #scifi

The Crotchets 106 Going Solo (7/15) #comic #music

The 1200 is set up in my bedroom! Transporting that from my parents' house to my top floor flat was... fun? Dad wants me to have the 500 over here too, which we hope to sort out at a less busy time of year. Amazed at how well they both work, all things considered! #Amiga1200 #Amiga500 #Gobliins2

The Crotchets 105 Going Solo (6/15) #comic #music

They love each other more than they will admit. 💕 #guineapigs
