UA-139927741-1
![]() I was first introduced to Rob Feldman's cartooning style at the 2011 Australian Cartoonists' Association's annual workshop when he (a little reluctantly or maybe nervously) produced a sample of his work: a photocopied A4 piece of pager folded in half to produce a four-page comic sample. I was immediately struck by his free-wheeling style that appeared fully-realised, as well as his odd-ball sense of humour and play with words. This, I thought, is a cartoonist that needs to be encouraged, nurtured and published! The publishing of Rob Feldman's work is a new direction for Comicoz: it is the first time allowing a cartoonist complete artistic freedom in his creative pursuits. Absolutely no editorial direction nor influence (even to the point of dictating the eventual page count) has been put in place. As I have recorded elsewhere, I have not even read what Rob has produced so far! But he has decided on a title and designed the cover (see left). To whet my appetite, he has shared a couple of pages from the book, and it would be remiss of me if I did not share them with you here (see below). If you like this humour based on what you have read here, I strongly urge you to be Rewarded with a copy of his book (and maybe a couple of others!) by assisting our Pozible Campaign (click here) with a $35 or $95 Pledge..... I doubt you will be disappointed. |
