Well, Natalie and Lexie, and Carlene and I are back from our Outback holiday. From Yuendumu, to Alice Springs, to Uluru, and back home via Mt Isa, Winton, Emerald, Theodore, Gympie. Along the way, we caught up with my book designer, Ryan McDonald-Smith (and his family). It's been a lot of fun, but now begins the serious work of selling some of our published comics again! First off: Comicstreet is on again ... this Saturday! As many of you know, it's my favourite comics festival, as it features nothing but comics, and nothing but local Australian comics!!
Rob Feldman will be appearing at the Comicoz stand, promoting his new comic, Fridge Boy from Space. I'll be there with my latest comic John Dixon's Air Hawk and the Flying Doctor (reprinting the first two daily newspaper adventures). I've invited Graeme Cliffe to come along, but I have not heard back from him just yet! I hope to see you there if you're in the Brisbane area! |
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.
