Hi, I'm Dudley Horque. After several years of not doing any cartoons, and suddenly finding that, when I wanted to again, my eyesight would not let me, I brought back Dog the Spot, a strip I did in the late 1980s for an arts magazine.
Dog the Spot now alternates Just a Stage (a new theatre based strip) appearing in the same place. Just a Stage involves actual drawing, which is a strain on my eyes, so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep it going. Wish me luck.
Other work of mine includes Dudley the Echidna, New Dark Age, Professor Vessant, Justine Case, Horqueing Teds, and Back Woods.
Dog the Spot is updated each and every Sunday at this stage, and Just a Stage is updated each and every Wednesday. Haven't missed one yet... thanks to keeping a few weeks in advance (well, for DTS I keep well in advance, JAS is still running close to the bone).
In real life, I work as a Data Warehouse and Information Delivery Coordinator, and use such tools as DataStage, RedBrick, and BusinessObjects.
I also act, and was in two plays last year (2007), which were my first two for three years (and my eighth in four years). I directed my first major production at the start of 2008. I have sworn never to do that again, yet found myself submitting a script of a play I'd like to direct next year (2009).
I live on coffee... but go off it for a few weeks every so often... in an effort to reduce work stress (stress usually wins out), since everyone else at work wants to do the opposite.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy these odd little strips. Please leave some feedback (I am happy to receive bad ratings if you think they're appropriate). However, please, just don't leave any comments that do not suit All Ages.
