The Mr Bomer Comics were written and illustrated by Richard Grange in 2011, for the eyes of a small group of friends only. I couldn’t really tell you what Richard was trying to achieve with this introspective and nihilistic take on The Simpsons, maybe because the goal was to achieve nothing at all, and in fact question why on earth are we all trying so hard to achieve things.

In 2023 I came across his hand-drawn publications and bullied him into letting me publish them as a risograph zine. I coloured the linework (Richard is colourblind), and diagrammed editions 1 to 3 into a set.

The Mr Bomer Comics (edition 1-3) was riso printed with Blue and Yellow on sugar paper, belly-band printed in blue on Fenner Colorset Solar. A limited edition of 30 exclusive posters was printed as an introductory offer, also on sugar paper with Blue, Yellow, and Fluorescent Pink.

Bomer is an ongoing project and we have six more editions to release. You can find edition 1-3 on my online shop, or in independent publication fairs across the U.K.
