I Wouldn't Call...


Tedward/Kitty/Ransom




Damien's Song/The Plane/The Tent/He Goes








Compulso!

As mentioned elsewhere, Damien has a superhero alter ego (using the term as loosely as possible here) named Compulso. He features in quite a few strips, but this is the original sketch that started it, warts and all. 


Power/Violence





Squiffy

Squiffy the sock puppet is a recurring character in the series, and this is the strip where it all began.





What Timeline?!




The most frustrating thing about The Norms from a reader's point of view is probably that I have never drawn the story in any kind of chronological order. While certain strips do follow on from each other, the story is generally told in scraps, with no real beginning or end to speak of.

This is probably most clear in the following two strips. I consider these to be from the "end" of the story, and yet before and after them, it is as though nothing happened. 



Mouse Man Part One

Okay, this is the first strip in a six part series (so far) about The Norms' next door neighbour, Mouse Man. I guess "lovable zombie" is the best way to describe him.



Self Esteem/Big Fag/The Bear/Tarot

Here are a couple more old ones...


Psycho Killer/Intelligent Life Part One

Alright, well let's get the oldest, roughest strips up first,and we'll take it from there! 

These two pieces coming up were two of the first "issues" I drew, back in 2008. I cringe to look at them now, but they are part of Norms history so here they are: 





 And here's the second:
