Kerry, I am the brother of Wendy and I am very proud of her. – Hi Wendy! Here is something only Wendy will understand – Stinky Pan says “Hi” to Stinky Eastwood :-)

Kerry, I am the cartoonist you enquired about. I haven’t worked on anything for many years now. I stopped when I moved to Serbia for a few years. I live and work in London now. Thank you for your interest though.

[...] Since it’s seems that one has been put on hiatus, I’ve decided to read something else. I don’t even remember buying this comic book, but there it was, when I found Ghost World earlier today. Cheat by Christine Norrie [...]

have you ever run across a female cartoonist, Wendy Eastwood?
A sample of her work is in book, Dyke Strippers copywrited 1995, edited by Roz Warren. I haven’t been able to find any of her work since.
She is British.

[...] The majority of the book, by Christine Norrie (Cheat), is similar in attitude but a bit more open and straightforward. Norrie isn’t afraid of black, which gives her pages strong anchor points. The characters even resemble each other, as suits family members. The two styles make for a well-integrated book where the flashback sections are still distinct to readers. [...]

Norrie will be illustrating one of the Graphix graphic novels next year, which I’m really looking forward to.

And Chris, good point about the promo copy not being the story. You just have to be careful about raising the wrong expectations in the reader, because a good story can seem disappointing and vice versa based on positioning.

I’ve always thought that Christine Norrie’s art style would not be out of place in a French fashion magazine. She’s one of those artists that you just know could be making a lot better money doing some form of high class commercial art, and we’re lucky to have her. That said, though, this story just left me wondering if there was maybe a part two that I’d missed.

My interpretation of the abrupt ending was that it was intended to put the audience in the same frame of mind as the character. She had no idea what would happen next, and we experienced a little of that helpless feeling.

I’ve learned long ago to discount comics’ promotional copy, but that does not excuse the writers of same from untruths. I don’t remember the promotion of this particular book; the name Christine Norrie was all I needed to hear. :-)

I agree completely with your review. The book is beautiful, but the story stops suddenly and abruptly. There’s a good story to tell here, but for some unknown reason, it isn’t really told at all. I was very disappointed with the book for its unfulfilled potential.
