Time flies when you're head down arse up in the domestic kaka. Fourteen years ago (issue 26) Daniel Powell and I created our first diary comics to be presented as parallel strips linking my Wellington (Aotearoa) and Daniel's Verl (Germany). Back then our respective lives involved infants and toddlers, broken sleep and dirty nappies... Now Daniel and I have teenage children, dipping their toes in life's boozy waters... grander themes are almost lost to life's everyday soup of emails, caffeine, weather reports etc etc.
