The Do-Doistic World of Do-Do Man

 
Co-creators, Mychailo Kazybrid and Sarah Sier produced, Do-Do Man with the idea of giving a face to Joe Public and John Doe. Following the loss of his job, and rejection by his not so nice bank manager, our protagonist returns home to continue his research into a cure for insanity. However, having inadvertently drunk chemical X instead of his usual cup of tea, Do-Do Man emerges, a wonderfully wild and playful psychotic who, with the aid of Amy, his catatonic cat, embarks on his first insane adventure persecuting his bank manager. Based in the fictitious city of Shefferham, the tale involves a host of colourful characters, all of whom eventually find a room waiting for them at the local psychiatric unit.
 
First produced as a Limited Edition, the title went on to a further four issues, with the completed artwork for a as of yet unpublished issue 5.
 
At the tender age of 39, a rather strange ginger cat came into our lives, making its way into the origin and world of Do-Do Man, now that I'm almost 60, I find yet another rather strange ginger cat in our home, and this suddenly turning my mind towards the question, maybe, just maybe it's time for our protagonist to wander the streets of Shefferham once more. On that note, I leave you with the following posts which proudly show the first six pages originally published in Do-Do Man, issue 1.
