The Australia! volume, raising funds for beyondblue, is now ready for sale from the Comicoz webpage (click here for details). There have been some positive posting on Facebook (mostly from the Contributors), and this has been most gratifying. However, it's not all smooth sailing. As Editor, I must take full responsibility to inform you of some errors that have snuck past me in the production of the volume. No-one likes to admit making errors and mistakes. But I am going to, here and now, in this public forum.  Look closely to see my stuff up! Page 4 before Page 3 ... I had best go back to Primary School. My grandchildren will be ashamed of me... Late in the book, Dave Dye's fine piece Ignorant Savages has had pages three and four placed in the wrong sequence, as you can see in the above photograph. There is no-one to blame for this except me. I take full responsibility and sincerely apologise to Dave for the hurt and distress this has caused him. I cannot undo what is now done, it is there for all to see, and no excuses are on offer. Sorry, Dave. Apologies too, to Sorab Del Rio (who I have identified as another name on the Contents page). And to both Chris Wahl and Andrez Bergen (who has been so kind to endlessly plug the book on Facebook) for incorrectly naming the title of their piece Loser Nobody on that same page. Even more insulting is someone who may feel like a nobody: Greg Gates, whose Biography and Illustration didn't even appear on the Contributors pages, even though he clearly sent them in.... My Sincere Apologies to all... Mistakes are being discovered all the time at Comicoz HQ lately. I was flicking through back issues of Oi Oi Oi! and have just discovered a mistake that has occurred on the inside in EVERY issue so far. Have a look in the indicia (that's the small writing usually at the foot of the Editorial page): I have identified the magazine as ISBN 2203 - 4331 instead of ISSN 2203 - 4331 .... something I shall have to rectify for Issue #8! And have a look at this error, coming your way in Issue #7 ....  Oh, dear! That's a big boo-boo, hey? Well, it's back to the future, as I start work on the Winter 2016 Edition this coming weekend....
