It’s funny how the seed of an idea gestates for ages and then suddenly snowballs into reality. This is what happened with ‘Indie Kid Samurai’, a concept I came up with about two years ago. I then read Phonogram which reminded me of my early twenties (without the magic), combined with a touch of Truth Serum and a BBC Radio 4 documentary on Japanese civil servants, and finally my new webcomic Greater Than or Equal To was born.

Following indie kid Giles on his weekly visits to a London rock club we are introduced to a rotating cast of freaks and geeks he calls friends (and enemies in the case of Sebastian Milk). These include the object of his infatuations Susi Z, his luchador best friend La Hormiga Aburrido, and aforementioned Sebastian Milk, a pretentious art school student with delusions of grandeur. The comic will take in a range of subjects from existential questions on time to the state of modern music. Always with a hopefully humorous slant.

As Christian Lefebvre is drawing these almost as quickly as I can write them, I’m confident in saying this will be a weekly affair. Go to http://www.gtoet.com to read the webcomic or get our RSS feed here.
