I'm Andrew Pilcher, I live in Hastings in the UK, and I'm a cartoonist and graphic designer.

I've been drawing Smith on GoComics for a few years now, and I thought I'd share it to this platform too. I'll be posting reruns every day from 1st January 2017, until I catch up with myself, and then it'll follow the same Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule as everywhere else. Hope you enjoy it.

If anyone remembers Millie in the Daily Mirror in the 1990s, I wrote that. This time round, I get to draw as well!

It is Wednesday morning and Comics Sherpa is still up. They can't even keep a promise to close themselves down... If you want a last final binge rather than wait for daily reposts start at http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=csmdx&uc_full_date=20100101
And to discover my strip before that, 'Riverfields', start at http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=csmdx&uc_full_date=20060807

Hi all,

ComicsSherpa will finally be put out of its misery by GoComics tomorrow, and the first 550 or so Smith comics will therefore disappear from the internet. I'll be reposting them on Tapas in a new series of reruns, so the complete collection will be available in one place.

SEE the first tentative designs of Smith and Jones. GASP as you discover Scrumpy once actually looked like a rabbit! RECOIL from the incredible secret origin of The Cat That Stares At Stuff! BOGGLE at the first appearance of Smudge's wall. All this and less can be found at https://tapas.io/series/Smith-Classic.

Smith Classic will start posting daily from 12 noon GMT on Monday March 1st.

Sherpa was still alive?! I gave up on that site after 2017 when a sherpa page on GoComics never materialized.

Hi all. Thanks for subscribing to my comic, 'Smith'. But did you know that the content available on Tapas is not the entire story? Smith was running on Comics Sherpa for a good few years before I discovered Tapas, and I've collected the first three years of strips into an e-book which I'm distributing for free to subscribers.

So sit back, self-isolate, grab a loo roll for comfort and click on https://adobe.ly/3cPHS6x

Enjoy...

Thank you so much for this!! This is perfect for a rainy day. I really liked the intro you wrote, it's so cool to know Smith and Jones were based on kitties from your childhood <3 I wasn't expecting their first adventure be something borderline sci-fi! I find this very inspiring. Let us know if you ever make a print version of Smith :3

Thank you so much for subscribing! If you have at least 1/10 as much fun reading the comic as I have reading "Smith" you absolutely made my day! <3
Keep up the awesome work!
