Whew! Now that I have recovered from admiring David Follett's magnificent artwork (below), the serious work of preparing for the internal pages of the Third Issue of Oi Oi Oi! has begun. Some have suggested that it's a good place to be, with more contributors' stories available for the magazine than pages allow... but there is always the angst of deciding who to leave out and the sad task of having to let those artists who didn't make the cut this time around know....
AND I am also working on writing my Speech for next Saturday's National Launch of the Comicoz book Ned Kelly, Narrated and Illustrated by Monty Wedd....

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... 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.
