Cast your mind back, dear reader, to the days of the dim and distant past. To a time of civil unrest, political skulduggery, and international warmongering. To a time of uncertainty, despair, and anger. To a time when you couldn’t be sure that one day would follow another, and so lived every moment as if it were your last. Yes, dear reader. I speak of August 2011, when the last issue of Tiny Dancing made itself known unto this world of tumult. So much has happened since then. So much has come to pass…
But one thing happened of such import that the foundations of the very internet were ever so slightly wobbled. I shall remind you of this one thing – the comics left Tiny Dancing. You remember this, because I told you.
And now here we are. Older. Wiser. Bigger. And we are comic-less. What does this mean? What could this possibly mean?
It means that like Crazy Mel at the start of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, a familiar yet strange figure is emerging from the smokes of the apocalyptic wasteland (well, Dartford – it’s a long story) to set the story straight. It means that Tiny Dancing 7 is here.
And we have so much to tell you.

Despite the best efforts of all involved, the return from Leeds was made with minds, bodies and souls mostly intact. Thought Bubble was excellent fun, and damned inspirational to boot. What more could we ask for? Erasure being played as requested on the Saturday night, that’s what, but then we are very difficult to please…
So we begrudgingly return to the real world. We playfully teased you last week with a mention of Reads Issue 1, the new home of all things comic-like in the world that was and will once more be Tiny Dancing. Now we are coy no more. It is time to let it all hang out.
We showed you the wraparound cover, dreamt up in a fever by Ricky Miller and realised in a storm by Rebecca Strickson, and we told you it was amazing. But we were wrong. It’s also great – and how do we know this? Because Jock told us, that’s how. A wise as well as very nice man – we suspected as much.
But what else is there? Continue reading Reads Issue One Out Now!
And lo, they did say that after the calm did come the storms and that. And they were very, very right indeed.
We’ve been a bit quiet lately. If you’ve seen me walking down the street, I may have nodded and serenely smiled, perhaps even proffered a cheeky wink, but deep inside I was a tumultuous whirlwind of new. ‘New what?’, you may well ask. ‘New this!’ is my response.

Back in the dim and distant days of Tiny Dancing, when we didn’t really exist and were not people of art, we used to talk about stuff and then make that talking available for people to listen to, if they were that way inclined. You know the type.
Then we stopped doing that, didn’t do anything at all for a bit, then started doing Tiny Dancing as a venerable publication of the great and the good, which you know about because we tell you about it often enough.
But we’d stopped talking, and if there’s one thing we at Tiny Dancing like more than beautiful illustration, writing, comics and other stuff, it’s talking. So we’ve started again.
We’re calling this talking ‘Tiny Dancing Summer 2011’, because it seemed topical and because we read an article about selling stuff on the interweb, and it said it was a good idea. We talk about what we’ve got in Issue 6 of Tiny Dancing (topical), what other people have got in Issue 6 of Tiny Dancing (topical), and round things off with an interview with Steven Horry – the man, the life, the art. All in all, the two magic words. Added. Value. Right click.

It took 5 months. It didn’t need to, but it did. I blame the ills of society, but what can you do? Get on Tiny Dancing Issue 6, that’s what!
But filling in for the vacuity of Big Dave’s Big Plan isn’t the only reason why you should get involved. Let’s start with the cover, by Becky Strickson. Not only is it a wonder in itself, as you can see, but it’s also the first of our covers that has the potential to offend Tom Cruise. It is also exciting to touch. Now that’s what a front cover is all about. Continue reading Tiny Dancing Summer 2011 Issue Out Now!
