Felney was a webcomic I made between 2001 and 2005, and was originally started to "make my parents the laughing stock of the internet". It followed Mike, an anarchist, Aaron and Tina as they sat around reading the newspaper and making smart-arsed comments. It ran steadily throughout 2001 and 2002, but in 2003 began to drop off, often silly "newspaper cuttings" where created in favour of actual comics, and it became a bit like a strange version of "Private eye". Also I ceased to believe in Anarchy, so it was hard to even care about the strip. In 2005 it finally died. A biographical replacement called "Mike Comix" was planned but never amounted to anything, so Felney died out. In 2006 it was confirmed I was going to Lincoln University, so I decided I would try and submit a comic to "the inevitable on-campus paper". In truth I was expecting there to be one like the University Of Alberta's "Gateway", which has a whole page of student comics, and in which the famous webcomic Deathworld started. However there didn't appear to be anything apart from an unreliably-published magazine called Bullet. I still carried on making Felney anyway, I had decided to mash Mike Comix and Felney together, to turn it into a biographical story (well, jokes about stupid things that happen to me), but still set in a fictional world, so I could remove things from reality a bit, and make them funnier and more ridiculous. New Felney re-told the beginning of the original Felney, making it clear mike is not an anarchist, and showing his garden is usually full of rusty cars XD. Then it will leap forward to 2006 and carry on from there. The strip was updated slowly during semester A, but right at the end the student newspaper, The Linc, finally arrived, so Felney will now be published in that, and should be drawn more often now. Most events in the strip, except for those revolving around Aaron and Tina (who are totally fictional characters) are about 85% based on reality, though the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Hope you enjoy reading it!

CHARACTERS

The owner of the house in Felney, He is 30 years old and works as a lab assistant for a biotechnology company called Cyto Sell.

He collects violent splatter and horror movies, usually from abroad or dubious websites, so they are unrated by the BBFC. Though he's found they are often more funny than anything else. Or perhaps he just needs help...

He also collects rusting old heaps, perhaps better known as "Classic cars", though many of them don't resemble cars any more. He attempts to do them up and occasionally manages it, though usually gets carried away adding modifications and never gets them finished. He usually drives an un-modified Ford XR4i or a Volvo 240 saloon with a Rover V8 and a few choice bodywork modifications. He also has amongst other things couple of Ford Capris, various classic Mini's, a Rover P5b without it's engine and a Cortina mk1 which he can't find panels for. He used to have a Peugeot 305 but sold it.

He is a "leftist eurosceptic", and usually votes for UKIP. He doesn't hate forigners, just corrupt totalitarian governments that constantly monitor and nanny thier people.

His sexuality is "indeterminate", which usually means Bi. He likes sexy people, whatever they are XD

He's also 30, and a very good friend of Mike's. Him and Tina came to live in his house in 2001 after being on the run from the staff of "straight camp". With that said, he is Gay and comes from a quite well-to-do family from Maidstone, in Kent. They attempted to have him "turned straight", but he escaped and fled to Felney.

He owns a Ford Sierra estate and can't really fathom mike's bizarre obsession with doing up old cars. However Mike got to his car, so it doesn't run any more XD.

He works from home on something Media-related, it's all very complicated and up-its-own-arse, but he earns a decent amount.

He did have a boyfriend called Vinny, but they don't see each other much any more. Though he has had numerous other "friends with benefits" over the years too, he is currently single.

He likes most kinds of music, but prefers club dance crap, which makes him the odd one out on most nights out.

And finally he has virtually no interest in politics at all XD

She met Aaron at where he lived in between breaking out of Straight Camp and coming to Felney. Which was somewhere in London

She's 25, so slightly younger than the other two

She works at a supermarket in Ely called Bodkins, and drives in yet another of Mike's cars, his Hillclimb-spec Austin Mini. Well she does when it hasn't grown yet another electrical problem...

She didnt like horror movies at first, but has gotten into them, well the funny ones anyway...

She likes pop-rock type music such as Greenday, Marylin Manson and the like, though isn't averse to more obscure things, like Terrorgruppe and Angelic Upstarts.

Finally, she's a lesbian. She has a girlfriend called Ann, who still lives in London, they see each other quite a bit. Ann is bi and, well, likes anyone. But Tina doesn't mind that much...

That character based on you is not actually based on you, but somebody else I knew a while back when I was at *place you weren't*. I wouldn't make fun of you would I? I respected and trusted you (of course). This does not apply to people who I have told will be in the strip, usually because it won't ridicule them, just use them to tell the story XD. I say XD a lot, you should probably just ignore it.
