Mr. Bob Byrne, of Clamnuts fame, is an industrious degenerate.
April 17th, 2007 by Frank
It’s been a while since I shared anything with you about my friend Bob Byrne of Clamnuts. Bob has a very popular blog over on his comics website Clamnuts.com. Bob is quickly becoming the cornerstone of the Irish Comics scene, and it’s no wonder - he’s a one man Comics Industry all in himself.
The degenerate thing is just jealousy.
In case you have the misfortune to not be subscribed to his blog, here is a small selection of things you should be aware of:
- Bob has landed a spot in 2000AD. In case you don’t know that makes him the envy of everyone in the world.
- Bob’s working on his silent masterpiece Mr. Amperduke and has a following of fans eagerly awaiting it.
- Bob produces a free pint sized comic called ‘The Shiznit’. It is available for free download in PDF form on his site.
- Bob has published a wonderful children’s book called ‘Robots Don’t Cry’ and you can buy it from O’Briens.
- Bob’s blog is full of wonderful gems like his essay on marbles, the time shopping for couscous nearly turned him into a crazed killer and the poignant tale of a harrowing break up.
Finally Bob has recently begun sharing some of his sketches with us through the magic of screen capture - here he is drawing two little Hitlers…

Just read the latest edition of Clamnuts. That’s brilliant too, I especially liked the Hate and Travelling panels. You’ve got your finger on the pulse alright Bob, fair play.

Ah thanks man. Add it to the list of favours I owe you. Don’t know, maybe I could come down and cut your hair or something. May I add I fucking wiped the floor at the 24hr comic thing too and have a medal for swimming.

‘Oh Jesus-I owe the credit union €25,000,’-very good.
Why is it people feel they have ‘go away’ to enjoy themselves? Why can’t they enjoy themselves where they are? It’s like let’s endure Ireland to work in and make some money, but then it’s off to a third world country to enjoy ourselves, let loose and maybe even have sex. Dopey or what? What was that song a while back, ‘Ain’t going to Goa’, you know it?

Sorry, I tried it there again, seems like you need to put http// if front of it all-cut and paste job in browser- to go directly to song. Otherwise you just get to homepage.

Yup Bob’s a legend…
No bother Bob - tell the truth though, I’m convinced you actually have a sweat shop of illustrators who are trained to produce work that looks remarkably like your own hidden away somewhere…
