About the Comic

Dead Ends is a thrice weekly updated comic strip, with new strips being lovingly bestowed upon thee every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The strip focuses on the lives of a group of friends and acquaintances in the fictional English metropolis of Danchester.

The comic was designed to be more like a graphic sitcom than your average webcomic; more of an ongoing narrative, bigger strips to encompass more of the characters’ lives, not just a punchline a strip kinda thing.  I was trying to go for as much realism as I could with this one; sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s depressing, sometime’s it’s fantastic, but there’s always something funny that can be derived from it. I wanted to try and show people that a comic does not need robots, ninjas, pirates or zombies to get a laugh. Whether that has worked I guess is down to you guys.

The comic is set in realtime - ie, if it’s a Monday in real life then it will be that Monday in the strip.  I did this to challenge myself; each strip has to encompass an entire day, and I can’t go continuing the story on the next day like most sequential webcomics (Questionable Content being by far my favourite). If I want to show more of a story, I’ve got to do another strip for that day. I kinda like that. With any luck it’ll turn me into something of a writer and artist. One can only hope. 

About the Writer

The writer is a human manchild called Cos Ryan. Dead Ends isn’t his first webcomic, but it is by far his favourite and the one he is most proud of. At the time of writing, he is 22 years old, a number which changes every birthday. He will will not tell you his birthday, and there is little point in asking. He is 5′8″ tall, weighs a little more than he’d like and primarily eats fried goods and noodles, sometimes at the same time. 

If you want to hear this man speak words, then luckily for you he broadcasts every fortnight with his buddy Tom Campbell on the Cos and Tom DO A PODCAST! podcast. You may email him if you wish, to talk to him about anything you want; his email address is cos@dead-ends.co.uk

About the Director

The director is exactly the same person as the writer.
