 It's been a busy month at Comicoz HQ -- despite my comments last month -- as I have sought to post all the Kickstarter rewards to all who kindly pledged in the two campaigns that ran late last year. The last of the Emile Mercier books went in yesterday's mail. Here (below) are just some of them!  For those of you too late (or dubious) about joining the Kickstarter campaigns, I'll be placing the books on this webpage's Store in the coming days (or weeks if work continues to get in the way). The books will (or should) now be available at all good bookstores around the country. As well as at the National Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour, where the launch for the Emile Mercier book will take place later next month.  I've been slow to update this page this month (mostly due to continued work demands). I have also been enjoying some time away from the computer and taking time out to listen to a little music (Jimmy Buffett, as always of course, as well as 'discovering' The Tiger Lillies of late) and reading some comics for a change (completing, and enjoying, Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire). Wordle has also kept me amused for the past 100 days, although I am going to retire that obsession while my score remains an impressive 99%.
