Lets hand it to some top performers

On Wednesday night after our Jaime Hernandez encounter, Sally Anne and I headed on to the Phoenix for Comica Social Club. There I bumped into Alex Potts who happened to be touting his latest Lost Shoe comic, Hand. I am an admirer of the gentleman's work, and this does not disappoint. Thursday Nick and I took in the Bowie exhibit which was well worth the effort — a great use of sound and vision, covering all aspects of his creativity.

Yesterday, Gary Northfield launched Teenytinosaurs with cake and booze. His whacky little creations frolic exhuberantly in the land before time bringing joy to any age group. If anyone is going to steal Quentin Blake's crown, I put my money on Gary.

And that was before downing the five cocktails – electric lemonade administered a much needed shock to revive the system after two days of being ignored by the manga buying fraternity.

Highlights of the weekend, pub with fellow small pressers not included, were the visit from Annie and Joe (who enlightened us philistines on some of the costumes on display), purchasing a gorgeous little watercolour from Gary Northfield, and a rare appearance by the elusive Schmurgen Jonerhaffs, promoting his new material.

Saturday night at the nick

After an intense week preparing our secret weapon to take on Europe, headed down to the the police station for an excellent party to launch Fleece Station Studios , Gary Northfield, Sarah Macintyre and Vivian Shwartz's fabulous new space. The only thing that stops me from being totally consumed by my jealousy is that it is in Deptford, which would be a tad inconvenient ...

Garden Funnies finally bears fruit

Hurrah! I just received a parcel of Jim Medway's Garden Funnies 2 hot off the press, packed with such great talents as the Medway himself, Alex Potts, Liz Lunney, Banal Pig and MYSELF, and boasting an ace cover by Gary Northfield!
It's been long in the making but worth the wait...
Go order a copy from Jim HERE,or mosey on down to 176 next week and pick one up off my stall.
