Poo-Pope

Purple Ted : Poo-Pope

These cartoons are brilliant! I've been watching the strip since it started and it's the only cartoon site I visit regularly.

The artwork is clean, stylistically inspired, and interesting. It's not easy to grab the reader's attention like this in such a limited amount of space. "Modern Life" is fascinating - I could look at it for hours. It has the mood and atmosphere of a Hopper painting.

My favorites are the totally surreal ones (Thinking Straight, Bad Angle, Typo Ted). Strangely (murder and mayhem isn't really me) I find the crazed Ted ones very funny too (puddy tat makes me crack up just thinking about it). Can't say that the toilet humor ones have really got to me yet though.

Go for it Joe and gook luck! I'm telling all my friends to watch the site.

cheers, Bren

Hi Bren,

Thanks for the kind words and comments, it's great to get a comprehensive opinion on the art of the strip, and I'm glad you're enjoying the character.
I'm always sceptical as to whether or not the more abstract strips hit the mark, so it's comforting to know that they do have an audience.

Apologies in advance for the inevitable toilet humour that will appear in some of the future strips, hopefully the good will outweigh the bad and you'll continue to visit :)

Thanks again
-Joe

No worries about the Toilet Humour Joe, Holy Crap has to be one of the best examples I've seen in ages! Loved it!

The Mind behind Ted

  • Joe Butcher created The Purple Gerbil by accident, when he was really attempting to do something more important and politically accurate. He wanted to create something beautiful, something meaningful. But all he could squeeze out was a manically depressed purple rodent. Go Figure. Joe currently resides in Birmingham, England, where there is an abundance of filth and depravity, which Joe readily adopts as the subject matter of his work.
