Alistair 2 Zook was a webcomic I did back in 2006. I wrote and drew it for about two months, unusual in that I did the drawing. Maybe you’ll be able to tell why I usually let someone else draw. I’m going to be reposting A2Z here on off days for as long as they last and I may eve write and draw a few new ones.
Alistair loves security, serenity and green salad. Zook prefers wisecracks, wordplay and crunchy weevils. They live on the edge of The Pond with the other Puddlians, lots of disposable insects and whoever else may drop by.
