Oink game promotional comic July 1987
When the Oink computer game was released the July 1987 issue of Crash magazine included a 16 page special edition of the comic as a promotional item. I've not seen this for years (I bet a lot of people haven't) so here's a scan of the one I found in the loft this week.

That was a strange one. We were asked to do strips based on the computer versions of our own characters, but there's no way Tom Thug would be intelligent enough to drive, and supernatural stuff like zombies had no place in Tom's world, so the only solution was the old "it was all a dream" scenario. It was fun to do though, and made a nice little comic.
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, I tried posting a comment before but it didn't work, so here we go again...
ReplyDeleteThis was a strange one to contribute to. The game totally changed the characters so we had to adapt these odd versions of our own creations! Tom Thug driving a 'Thugmobile' and fighting zombies? I decided it could only be a nightmare. Pete's Pimple flying off on its own? Well, it worked I guess. I did have fun drawing those pages though!
We also did another comic separate from the regular Oink! run; a "Smokebusters Special" which was full of anti-smoking strips. Also fun to do, especially drawing Tom choking on his fags.
