The Whispering Gallery (part one) - by Dan Bloom
MSP is now publishing online!
The first part of Dan Bloom's The Whispering Gallery is online here. Enjoy!
---
"There’s a hole in the greying plaster of my ceiling which I peculiarly dislike. It sits just above where I lay my head to sleep, and I can lie back and look at it and waste away hour upon hour while I try to avoid my dissertation. I lie, and I think, and I flick a blunt pencil between my thumb and forefinger, and I count the rotations until the movement hypnotizes me and sends me, ever so softly, to sleep."

Review of Mallard 6 at Comic Book Bin!
"A pacy and evocative combination of comic strips, stand alone illustrations and the written word. It's been a long time since I read anything even approaching Mallard 6... 8/10"
