Just before Christmas I worked on my very first self-publishing project for 2020: A mini comic for the next issue of Inkspot called "Remembering Ian Eddy", assisted by Ian C Thomas. (Carlene also needs to take credit for helping me fold and cut all 200 copies!) *Pending family approval. And for Christmas, a couple of pieces of original artwork that took me by surprise. Above, from Jason Paulos, an illustration of Magpie (Andrez Bergen's and Frantz Kantor's creation) and one of Air Hawk, that Jason did for me many years ago now (and yet to be published). Below, some original artwork by Peter Player that arrived with my purchase of his 2021 All Cats Are Evil calendar. I'm posting this on New Year's Eve. It's been a difficult year for many.

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.
Since 2011, Nat has self-published over twelve comic-related books and was Publisher-Editor of Oi Oi Oi! -- the last series of nationally-distributed comic books of original stories to appear on Australian newsstands. He is a member of the Australian Cartoonists Association and edited the Association's journal Inkspot for 14 issues from late 2015. For numerous years he has been the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). These days Nat dreams of retiring from his occupation as a Clinical Nurse in the Psychiatric Emergency Centre in Queensland's largest public hospital, so that he can spend more time with his long-suffering wife and their six children and fourteen grandchildren. And perhaps publish some more comic-related books. Comicoz acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay respects to elders, past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
