Lucy the Octopus
Lucy the Octopus is a weekly webcomic about a teenage girl who happens to be an octopus.
Lucy is staggeringly unpopular both at home and school. Still our heroine soldiers on, armed with a guitar, a pufferfish and the occasional Chunky Muffin shake.

The Summer of Blake Sinclair
A slice-of-life drama story about University students. It’s about hipsters, punks and subcultures. It’s about the idea of ‘Generation Y’. It’s about identity- the illusion and reality of love, feeling young and lost. It’s about lots of things. It’s like a bad John Hughes movie!
