The universe of stories from my Felney Herald, EU News and SCV sites / comics. Oh and Smallwood cartoons, too. Yeah that far-right maniac who was famous for 15 seconds in one Facebook group was me. Gee, ain't I a stinker? (Also those cartoons are now part of the archive of Mike Comix, so go and have a larf) Most of the stories in this universe are actually in their own mini sub-universes. Sometimes each individual episode of a story is. Nuclear wars, riots, mass murders and apocalypses happen with alarming regularity.

Type
Drawn comic
Main Characters
My friends and I, with numerous unnamed fictional allies.
Description
Right at the end of primary school, I got into anti-foxhunting, anti-animal testing bullshit. All the usual idealistic stuff little kids get into, but grow out of by the time they turn 17, if they're at all well-adjusted. I thought up a pro-violence group called Environment Freedom, which would have WW2-style aircraft and big ships, armed to the teeth, in order to save animals and the environment. Naturally I did a few comics, too. The only surviving one is about the French nuclear tests that were going on in 1995, our propellor planes and solar-powered, converted oil tanker "battleships" take on the French navy and... win?
The IRL "version" of this later evolved into Animal Rights Enterprises (ARE), Human Animal Rights Enterprises (HARE) and finally Harmful Action-Taking Enterprises (HATE). Not one of them did any amount of activism or protest of note. More about that can be read on the Alpha Universe pages.

The logo was the Earth with red lines bursting out, which I think was meant to represent people around the world rising up. It looked more like the Earth was "crossed out", thus making us look more like "pollute the world on purpose because we're the baddies" villains from Captain Planet.

Main Characters
Bob
Description
A guy called Bob appears in different time periods, and disasters happen to him. The only one I can remember now is 1969, where he accidentally stands underneath the Apollo moon rocket.
My brother and I got these things for making plasticine characters for Christmas in 1996 (I remember because we were watching the last episodes of Only Fools and Horses*). It had a section about how to make stop-motion movies with them ("You need an 8mm or Super8 camera with a single-frame advance button"). We didn't have a video camera until years later, and that was a Mini-DV one, so this never got made. We did make Bob himself, though. He lived in front of the pendulum of a defunct fake-antique clock for years, then mysteriously vanished. Also I knew remarkably little about history, so very few episodes got planned.
*-You know, that show that ended in 1996, and no more episodes were ever made.
Status

Some very rudimentary storyboards may survive... on the other side of the world.

One of the "Coping With..." books (children's books from the 90's, in the same vein as Horrible Histories but not about history) had a throwaway joke reference to the supposed organisation that made school dinners. They called it Supervisors, Lunch Operatives and Personnel, or SLOP, and it was responsible for school dinners tasting awful. I made one "SLOP Newsletter" with jokes I'd stolen out of the book. My cousin thought it was funny, so I made a few more. I think I made one at school too, which may have fell into the hands of the teachers and eventually the kitchen staff. Joke was on them, I always took packed lunches.

A very stupid game I made with The 3D Gamemaker. Back in 2002, I bought that software expecting FAR too much of it. The actual games it could make were rather disappointing. The only game I actually finished was about flying around a city in a spaceship, shooting giant chickens. This was a mammoth ~22mb when it was compiled, and uploading THAT to Fortunecity (and over "Free""serve", an ISP which did neither) was a pipe dream.
Anyway in 2026 I suddenly remembered this, and discovered T3DGM is now freeeee! So I re-made the game for the 25th anniversary of Felney... with a more Felney-ish theme and custom resources.

I had the name of this strip back in like 2000, after re-reading some 90's SAS books
Some members of Al-Queda or the Taliban did actually infiltrate a US base during TWAT and blow up some planes. Unfortunately they decided to do it with grenades and machine guns, and got shot after only getting one or two. If it was proper terrorists, like the IRA, they'd have put time bombs on all the planes, got away and written a really catchy song about it before the Americans even knew they were there. But the IRA wouldn't attack Americans, of course. They don't want to bite the hand that feeds...

His appearance is based on the mascot of The Mineshaft, a notorious pre-AIDS sex club in New York.
Oh, and there's a bit of Ditko's Mr A in there, too.
As with some other adventure parody strips in SCV series 2, this one had a very cramped and rushed ending. I'll probably re-draw it.

The original version was a two-pager made in 2006, for the aborted original version of SCV (which was to have been a fanzine for the local live music scene in Cambridge, remember that?). It was also the first thing I'd ever drawn in my modern "realistic" style, after buying How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way like a week before. It also appeared in Stuff From Before I Grew Up, a "penny dreadful" (literally, I sold it for 1p) comic I created to use up assorted material I'd no other use for.
The name is obviously based on Xena: Warrior Princess. If I'd decided to revive SCV a month or so later, I would have re-named her "SuperKaren".

Then some stranger told the company that the gaijin they had handing out the flyers "looks scary", so I got "fired", even though I'd quit.
I'd still rather live here than go back to the UK, and get five years inside for owning a book about Hitler and a knife, though.

A parody of the irritating, woke, obviously budget-cut* latter years of Waking The Dead. And no end of other recent cop shows from the UK and USA.

A journalist in America who writes a hilarious article about how firing a "scary" "assault-type weapon" (which is actually just a tacticool-looking variant of a wooden hunting rifle*) gave him PTSD is laughed out of the office. So he moves to the UK and starts writing articles about how "scary" "fighting-type dogs" need to be put down.
*-Never forget the Aussie government banned an "assault type weapon" which was LITERALLY MECHANICALLY IDENTICAL to a wooden hunting rifle, which remained legal. They literally and demonstrably acted on emotion alone, literally and demonstrably using the full force of the law to come down on something just because it "looked scary".

This strip is a completely original idea I had all by myself, which isn't based on anything at all. And even if it is, you can't prove anything. I mean, a story about a spaceship that flies in space discovering things is hardly some unique concept, is it?

Based on an idea some frog weeb posted on the Sweatdrop forums. He was asking for an artist to work on his amazing(ly generic) fantasy story, which was all written in 90's American English. Once this had acheived sufficient popularity, he freely admitted he was going to dump the artist he was trying to recruit for a "better" (Japanese) one, move to Japan, and have his idea made into an anime. Naturally he was against "fake manga" and "fake anime" made by westerners... but somehow his idea was okay, no doubt because he had a "better understanding" of Japan than the "corporate suits" at Tokyopop or Nickelodeon... despite having never been there.

Description
An idea for a videogame my brother had. Much like Raptor Squad, he was designing the title screen, but couldn't spell the words, and got me to write them. The title was very 90's, "Mega" was written like graffiti, and "Blasters" was written in big bold letters with loads of circuit board designs in them.
What was the actual game supposed to be like? I don't think there was much of a plan beyond "you get loads of guns and kill shit". I can't even remember if it was meant to be a sidescroller, an FPS or a lightgun shooter.
