Your sister
The first two panels of this comic were based on a conversation I had this week with my flatmate, Kush. Hooray for awkward chinwags!

Sheep!
There is a quote stuck up on one of the walls at the office which reads "I miss sheep". Directly underneath the quote, it says "Malcolm Monteith, September 2008".
Having lived many years in the deep south of New Zealand, I find it somewhat nostalgic when I see sheep. In Melbourne, for a New Zealander to openly express a longing for sheep was deemed so inappropriate, that someone put it up for the rest of the department to see.
And that is why I love the team! :)
Hugs.
Malcolm
P.S I still miss sheep :(

Babies?! Where'd they come from all-a-sudden?
Hoo-ray for awkward conversations!
Finally! I have completed this - I'm working on a few at the moment, but haven't had much time for comics due to too much work and play.
Thank me later, but you will probably find that at some point in your life, this comic will help you with parenting.
Geniet!

Crash and Burn
Greetings Citizens,
I live on Southbank and it was about time that I feature it in Melbourne Fuzz. This week, Baz takes a lucky girl on the perfect date. Derrick and Loose-Bruce - I hope you're taking notes.
Peace, Love and Cashews,
Malc

Shaddup and do the rain dance!
Hola amigos.
I uh... haven't done a comic for a while. I've been very busy being busy. I hope that you find this latest one decidedly random and silly.
Love,
Malc

Four Seasons
Greetings Citizens,
Despite the majority of Australia being a massive desert, Melbourne still finds time to be rather inconsistent with its weather. Anyway, I don't want to talk about this comic anymore. On a more serious note, I'm currently trying to eat a mandarin (the fruit, not the dialect). I bought it today from Safeway. It's all dried up and horrible. I'm going to eat it anyway, and then take the peel back and ask for a refund. If this is my biggest problem on a Sunday night, I'm doing ok.
Work tomorrow - time to switch on the left side of the brain again.

Drought and other important questions which need to be addressed
Hello!
Today is Sunday, the last few hours of my holiday - it's been a very productive week - I've done a few comics and a few oil paintings and sketches too.
I'm trying keep the Melbourne theme in as many comics as I can. For those of you who don't know, for as long as I've lived here, Melbourne has had some pretty tight water restrictions. Rain dance people!
I had a stray sketch of Baz in my Moleskine delivering today's punchline - The way I often work is that I write the punchline, and work backwards from there. I was inspired to develop this idea after having had a conversation a couple of days ago around this serious topic faced by many retailphiles (real word that. It's... it's Greek. Or something).
Oh, and I thought I would let Nuck join in on the good times for the first time ever!
Stay awesome!

Eureka!
I'm taking this week off work, just for a break and a catch up on sleep and art.
I've been doing a lot of oil painting - I'm going to have to get them up online some time.
This is the first comic I've done on my new MacPro Beast with its superfluously humongous screen. Wuff!
For today's comic, I actually came up with the idea when I was doing cartoons as a teenager - I've even got the original comic in front of me as I write this. Back in the day when I was trying to get my head around Corel Draw! My old man would disagree, but I prefer Adobe.
I re-wrote it in the context of Melbourne Fuzz's characters - I've also used Axel the Croc who I haven't drawn for a while. This strip has been in my sketch book for months and I've been meaning to put it together.
When drawing the Eureka Tower, I pulled a photo down from Google Images and used it as a reference. I then remembered that I live next to the Eureka Tower and I could have just popped out onto my balcony. That's Gen Y for you. Always wanting everything NOW!

Ketchup
Hello! Here is the first strip for May - tackling the issues of Nuck's fantastic cooking and Baz's propensity towards drowning things in tomato sauce.
I am always hesitant to put sauce on other people's cooking - they might take it personally. That's not saying that my room mates should stop putting sauce on MY cooking. In fact, I seriously encourage it.
Speaking of condiments, a few months ago, my dear room mate and regular Melbourne Fuzz reader (who we will call 'Kiarash'), made a pizza base with Nando's Extra Hot Peri Peri on it. I think he also threw in a few chilli flakes as well. I haven't had any more problems with my sinuses since.
I've changed the way I've done the comic slightly - the outlines are a lot thicker and I'm experimenting with greater line variation. Comments are always welcome. Enjoy :)

We're back!
Happy New...April? Whoops.
Thank you for those who were patient, and a BIG thank you to those who kept nagging me to post a new comic.
It's been a busy year so far at work and I really need to make more time for the Fuzz. I HAVE been doing a lot of painting though which has been choiiiice bro! Two artworks of mine were sold at an art charity auction last week. The artists' works raised over 10 gorillas in total! Lekkkkker!!!!
This comic involves a lovely old lady from Toorak - which is the laa-dee-daa posh part of Melbourne. For our South African readers, think Waterkloof. For the kiwis, think Remuera. For the Zimbabweans... think... er, Rhodesia?
When I used to work with customers, I wasn't too good with the difficult, self important ones - If you can't calm them down, then there's no reason why you shouldn't join the party. I was a bit of a wise mouth at times. Didn't help much, but my colleagues loved it.
This goes out to all you hard working front-liners, keep it up, Melbourne Fuzz loves you.
God Bless,
Malcolm
