The Complete Story of Life On Earth
Way back in 2001, Jon was commissioned by Q Arts and Derby Museum and Art Gallery to participate in a comic created for Japan 2001 (a nationwide celebration of the culture and lifestyle of Japan). A total of 6 artists in the UK and Japan worked on the comic, passing their completed work onto the next via email. Jon’s comic finally gives credibility to the FACT (passed down to me by my mother, but not accepted by my wife) that leaving the house with wet hair will not only give you a cold, but has already wiped out the earth’s population at least once. It’s a great little comic that definitely gives you an idea of Jon’s direction early on.
Also noteworthy about the short booklet, it bears a great(ly embarrassing) bio for Jon that reads as: “Adored by women and envied by men, the genius of our times, we all love him but we don’t know why, jewlicious, one size fits all, easily resealable, fully refundable king of pop (culture), Mr. Jon Burgerman.” AWESOME!

And since this is a wayback post, I’m able to tell you that if you want Quo Manga Man, a few copies have been unearthed, and they’re available here.
