Liam Sharp’s Mam Tor Publishing Ltd. has collaborated with Mother (London) Advertising Ltd. to produce a 16-page quarterly comic inside the London edition of Time Out magazine. It's called "Four Feet From a Rat" and features four London-centric stories; "The Crane Gods" illustrated by Liam Sharp, "The Little Guy" by Chris Weston, "Routemaster" by Dave Kendall, and "Don Pigeone" by Kev Crossley. All the scripts were provided by Mother.
Each issue of Time Out contains information about events in film, theatre, fashion, literature and all other artistic local events happening, as well as eat out and night out sections. On teaming up with Mother, Sharp said that “This is a great chance to take this kind of work to a whole new audience.

“The comic will be appearing on March 19th, and every story really has London as it's protagonist,” he continued. “"The Crane Gods" is set in the future in a flooded London where alien anthropologists are piecing together the human story. Chris Weston’s, "The Little Guy", is the first part of a two-part story set in the near future, where corporations rule with an iron fist. "Routemaster" is a fantastic little horror story set on London buses with a really inspired central character designed by Dave Kendall. And "Don Pigeone" tells the formerly unheard story of the city's indigenous pigeon population, their trials and triumphs, through the warped eye of Kev Crossley. They're all very tight three- or four-page tales of the unexpected, not unlike early 2000AD.”

According to Sharp, there are plans to collect the stories into a single book later on. “What we're talking about is collecting the stories produced over the year in "Four Feet From a Rat", possibly with extra all-new content, and putting them into a trade paperback,” he said. “We've not ironed out all the details yet, but certainly if that goes ahead we'd make it available through Diamond to all the comic stores in the UK and US, and whereever else Diamond distributes!”
