Top Of The Socks - 2010 video rundown

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre made an awful lot of videos in 2010 and I'd like to think the standard is better than ever before, certainly the viewing figures have been healthy. So here, based purely on the amount of viewers they've accrued (remembering these vieweings are accrued over a year, so Ive given special mention to anything only uploaded in recent weeks), is 2010's Top 30. Or, if you will, TOP OF THE SOCKS (imagine the TOTP theme tune of your choice as we run down this little lot):

Peppa Pig in snow

I just drew a Peppa Pig in the virgin snow of the back garden in Kibworth. How old am I?



Merry Christmas all, love Kev & the Socks

Socks on the Culture Show best of 2010

Look at us, sneaking one final TV appearance into 2010. The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre have a tiny speaking part in The Culture Show's Review of 2010.



Blink and you'll miss it (fast forward on the iPlayer to 58 minutes and 30 seconds in) but there we are, and well done us.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Lost Beano strips / Glastonbury

Here's a seasonal treat for comics fans, a couple of hidden gems I just found in the files while sorting out (for a new strip I'm drawing for a major publisher to see print in less than a month, stay tuned).

These two strips were intended for The Beano but, for reasons I've never quite found out, they haven't seen the light of day. First up is the full colour art for Plug as Rocket Pants in "Ravers", the latest in a series of these stories. Four or five Rocket Pants stories were printed, this one was commissioned & paid for but never printed, and the remaining scripts I tweaked and published as Hot Rod Cow stories (you'll find them on my website comicfestival.co.uk.

And after this is Roger The Dodger at Glastonbury, a script, laid out in my usual biro scribble style (how I like to work) which hasn't yet been commissioned. Maybe setting stories at Glastonbury was my downfall? (Maybe we'll never know. Enjoy both)

A feast of Christmas videos from the Socks

The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre seem to enjoy the Christmas season more than most, if the amazing number of seasonal videos they've made is anything to go by. Here is a page full of 16 of the best. Click on any of them to play.

Snow medley - Costello style

The UK is a wee bit snowy at the moment, so the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre are commemorating it with a winter medley to the music of Elvis Costello. Enjoy.
