I'm finding life - in the comic world and in my professional and personal world - is just one big whirl-wind that seems to be careening out of control. I've been meaning for some time to report on my Adelaide visit to the Papercuts Comic Festival and my visit to Melbourne to both drop off the Comic Arts Awards of Australia to Steve Carter and Antoinette Rydyr (SCAR) and attend the annual Stanley Awards. And to talk of my present projects with an "S". And maybe that the problem: I have so many (too many?) things on the go. I do like to keep readers of this blog the opportunity to hear news here first, but clearly I am lagging behind. Maybe I ought to stick to the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words and just be quiet for a moment? And that's not to mention something that I'm not even going to mention here yet... Something to do with a cloak.

Comicoz is Nat Karmichael's publishing imprint. Nat is committed to preserving a permanent collection of Australian comic and comic strips. He feels that there is a need to recognise comics' contribution to and depiction of Australian culture.
Nat Karmichael.
In 2024, the Australian Cartoonists Association bestowed Nat the honour of The Jim Russell Award for his "outstanding contribution to Australian cartooning". He is available for public speaking. Since 2011, Nat has self-published over twelve comic-related books and many more comics. He is presently the Membership Secretary of the Australian Cartoonists Association. He is the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). Nat has now retired and spends most of his time with his long-suffering wife, occasionally seeing their six children and fourteen grandchildren. He still plans to publish more comics and comic-related books, the details of which you should see here on this website in the coming months...
