Graham Harrop has a new comic strip on GoComics.
The Ten Cats creator and editorial cartoonist premiered UFO on July 11, 2023.
From a GoComics introductory post:
“UFO” by Graham Harrop follows two duck brothers, Quagmire and Melrose, who were abducted from Earth and whisked away to Planet UFO. There, they run a two-star hotel for the alien administration.
“Quagmire is the dominant one and Melrose is the younger, more susceptible and easily-influenced one,” Harrop says of the siblings. Joining the extraterrestrial adventure are Frank and Earl, air traffic controllers who monitor incoming arrivals to the planet.
It is encouraging to realize there are cartoonists still making a living wage by pointing out the absurdity of today’s life (well, one hopes it’s a living wage…). This post had me giggling…and I am still giggling. Bravo, Graham Harrop!
That UFO strip is not bad, but it is effectively the same gag as performed by the “Goofy Gophers” at the end of the Warner Bros. cartoon “Lumber Jerks”. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber_Jerks
The UFO feature HAS been added to the A-Z menu at GoComics, but it can NOT be reached by their search (at least not yet). For those having trouble finding it, here’s a link to the very first strip:
