Instead of doing a traditional brochure for the dayjob I decided to have a bit of fun, at my expense mostly and commissioned Tommie Kelly to make a comic for Mulley Communications. The result is pretty damned good. (Biased) I posted it out to a few people and yesterday there were a good number of tweets about it giving good feedback. I fired some ideas to Tommie, he took them and created the comic. It was a quick and painless process. He’s taking commissions too if you want him to do something as fun for your company.
It gets in my penchant for trains, use of colourful language and that red shirt that so many dislike. Me as Willy Wonka was his idea, really. The cover image comes from this photo by Phil. What I like is that in the digital world where I do most of my business it is very rewarding to create something physical as well that will age, fade, tear, stain and crumple.
The full comic is below but the print version is better. I may have a few left and maybe volume 2 is on the way.
Classic. 😉
brilliant!
Super duper stuff.
Fucking magic
“…and maybe volume 2 is on the way”

Very creative, you are a purple cow.
Fantastic idea and a great differentiator (so original as a brochure that others who copy the idea will just look plain silly)
I love it, very different.
And in the next installment mulley and the choo choo descend on Dail Eireann….
Expect less Willy Wonka and more John Rambo! 🙂
Fantastic stuff, well done to you and Tommy

They even like it over at Broadsheet. Just saying like.
Just read the comic, fucking all-round awesome (and cheers for the mention above!)
I’d love a copy if you have one going spare.
Awesome!
Had to laugh when I saw the Twitter screenshot. “They’re all Cunts!” 😛

Super Damien! Nicely innovative (to me anyway)!
Love it! Brochures can be so ‘same old same old’. Great way to stand out from the crowd!
Brilliant job, and so creative. 🙂
Eye-catching as hell that. It should stand out in a morass of boring advertising!
Great idea- memorable and different. Thumbs up to you and Tommy.
Like it Damien, made me laugh
Only seeing this now… Brilliant!
Hi Guys,
