Bunnies in Tivoli (and The Burrow på Svenska)
In Prune 2010, Lazyhead became Latis, Sleepybones became Drönis – and the first Swedish versions of Tails from the Burrow adventures appeared in print! Translated by the exceedingly talented friend of the Burrow,
Linus Ganman, our stories and poems were published in the Prune, Jelly and Pawgust issues of
Tivoli med Vänner, a Swedish Children's comic.
In Pawgust we were invited to participate in Från Skiss till Serie (From Sketch to Comic), an exhibition in Gagnef.
All our Swedish comics and poems can be found
here.
Behold The Great Sir Nom-a-lot!
To celebrate one year of Tails from the Burrow we are updating our blog every day this week with an installment of A Brief History of the Burrow – a review of our first year. See yesterday and Monday's posts for parts one and two.
Flanuary 2010 saw us making a spirited attempt to escape the Swedish Winter – The Burrow relocated to Barcelona for four months! We returned to Sweden with
Sir Nom-a-Lot and the Quest for Orange Gold, a comic written in rhyme. Influenced by Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott and the tales of the Knights of the Round Table, Sir Nom-a-Lot and the Quest for Orange Gold stars Lazyhead as a damsel in distress and Sleepybones as his heroic alter-ego: The Bold Sir Nom-a-Lot.
We officially launched the fanzine at SPX (Small Press Expo) in Stockholm, an annual comic festival, where we got to mingle with some great comic artists and self-publishing enthusiasts from around the world.
Tomorrow: Bunnies in Tivoli
Christmas in the Burrow
In December 2009 we rather ambitiously set ourselves the challenge of making an on-line Tails from the Burrow advent calendar – a brand new picture and poem for every day of Advent!
It involved a lot of late, late nights, but we think it turned out well in the end! You can see the whole advent calendar here (Do have a look if you've not seen it before - it'll make you laugh!).
Tomorrow - Part Three: Behold The Great Sir Nom-a-lot!
Happy Birthday to us! Today is the First Anniversary of Tails from the Burrow! We'll be celebrating with a glass or two of carrot wine. As a special treat, we'll be updating the blog every day this week with A Brief History of the Burrow, and revisiting some of the highlights of our first year. We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has been following Lazyhead and Sleepybones throughout the year. We're looking forward to sharing many more of their adventures with you in the year to come!
A Brief History of the Burrow:
Part One: A Rabbit Ghost Story
Lazy and Sleepy enjoyed appearing in print so much that they insisted that we continued to record and illustrate their adventures. So on Nomvember 8th 2009, we launched the Burrow blog and Facebook pages, and released our first poem:
Tomorrow – Part Two: Christmas in the Burrow
