On 2/14/2007, as you sipped cheap wine and attempted to woo whatever brave soul would accept your softly-squeaked dinner invitation, Brad Guigar lifted his head from the inkmines and celebrated a momentous occasion.

Flying Monkey Comics, the quirky lovechild parented by Simon Perrins and Andrew Livesey, has abandoned the static realms currently occupied by their print and online comic offerings.
