I honestly have no idea how I came about this, but a Google blog search led me to Moral Fibre so they’ll get the hat tip for this one.
The Western Nostril is a home-grown comic strip produced by brothers Alex Latimer and Patrick Latimer. I would tell you more about it but rumour is that a great selection of free fried food is available in our staff canteen, and if you know me, you’ll know that food comes before anything. So I’ll just say The Western Nostril is clever and quirky in both its humour and visual style, and that you should have a look at some of comics after the jump.

The single-panel comic strip was first published in 2003’s Laugh it Off Annual Volume One and you can find a new Nostril every Tuesday to Friday in the Business Day newspaper.
See more at The Western Nostril. You can also buy their books at reputable book stores, but a much better deal can be found online where you can snag volumes 1 and 2 for the price of one! It’s R120 and can be purchased at Laugh It Off.

some very funny and clever stuff there. its good to see our local boys have world class talent!
My favourite is “Sunchairs” – still cracks me up.
What’s your favourite comic strip?
i don’t know why, but the uncontrollable anger one got me into fits of laughter.
i’ve just gone through some of their stuff, and its all cerebral in a extremely dry simple approach. these guys just might replace my cyanide & happiness fix.
awesome find!
Sweet, glad you like it. There are quite a few gems at TWN.
I used to keep up with Wondermark, Married to the Sea, chopping block, the Perry Bible Fellowship … but lately I’ve been lax about it. I probably should add them to my RSS reader.
OMG I love the one about his gran’s dog :devil:
Oh don’t forget Toothpaste For Dinner (same guy as Married To the Sea) has some real gems.
