Rude Boy

[Adam Ford]

Rude Boy is a character who exists because of a font. Specifically the webdings clipart font that's standard on most computers. Each letter's a picture, and for some reason (most likely the amusement of the font's designers) the capital M in this font set is what can only be described as a hovering silhouette of a rude boy in the style of the Two Tone ska record label logo.

So I made a comic about him, using only the icons from the font, and the occasional vector-drawn prop.

He's been in two adventures, the minicomic "We're Out of Milk" and a two-page strip in the recent Conceived on a Tram anthology. There's a sample of the former on my website, with details of how to score yourself a copy. I'm always up for swapping stuff, too.
