COMIC BOOK FUNNY LIVE
The first two Comic Book Funny events
have now been and gone. Both were a lot of fun, but the second
was very well attended -- hopefully this'll continue for the
next two!
See me blog
for a few more photos.
And check out the
very nice Age article featuring Comic Book Funny participants
Nicki Greenberg, Ben Hutchings and myself! Photo by Simon

NEW EPISODE OF COMIC BOOK FUNNY, MORE ABOUT COMIC BOOK
FUNNY AT COMEDY FESTIVAL, "THE PRECINCT" GOES TO
FRANCE
Since I haven't bothered to update this front
page lately, you may not know that TODAY is the first session
of COMIC
BOOK FUNNY at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
This is where indy-type cartoonists get on stage,
show you their work, talk about where they came from and what
is a funny comic. It's on every Saturday of the Comedy Festival
(Mar 22, Mar 29, Apr 5, Apr 12)!
Today we have Jo Waite, Dean
Rankine and Pat
Grant on stage at 4pm in Trades Hall's Bella Union
Bar (yes, it's named after Sy Tolliver's place in DEADWOOD).
Before you head into your comedy shows, drop by the bar, listen
up, have a beer, say g'day, buy comics.
Next week at COMIC BOOK FUNNY: A NSW/ACT invasion
by Glenn Smith,
Ross Tesoriero and Ben
Hutchings!
There's also a lovely new episode of the COMIC
BOOK FUNNY podcast (episode #2) to listen to over on me
blog. David Blumenstein (me) and Ben Hutchings (him) talk
about sex. That get you going?
I will get around to blogging this properly,
but THE PRECINCT, my ever-in-development animated
cop show, has started moving forward seriously. Film
Victoria has given Team Precinct a travel grant so that
Woody, Team Precinct's producer, can fly to Canada and France
to whore the show around to international distributors and
networks.
This is quite exciting -- it could lead to triumph
or heartache but we are now officially on the way and on the
radar. Attendees of MIPTV
in Cannes, look out for Woody as he flings his sexy-looking
Precinct papergoods around!

COMIC BOOK FUNNY x 2
Ben
Hutchings and I have done another Comic Book Funny
podcast (officially, our first one) in which we talk about
taking our comics out to comic shops, sweating, "who
is your audience?", etc. And there's an EXCLUSIVE interview
with Stan Lee that'll have you gasping, "I had no idea
he liked murdering people".

the new podcast here.

to it.
The other thing we talk about is an upcoming
series of events I'm organising which ALSO are called Comic
Book Funny...
... because I couldn't be stuffed drawing two
logos.
THIS Comic Book Funny is four sessions of live
comics chat, demonstration, cartoon screenings etc, taking
place at Trades
Hall in Melbourne during the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival.
Every Saturday at 4pm, the Bella Union bar at
Trades will be filled with cartoonists and comics. Entry is
free, you can pop in and have a look and a listen to the comics
people, buy their comics and then drink beer with them if
yer want. Dates and a schedule will go up next week when the
media release goes out.
Finally, a message from Sticky, the zine shop:
they're having a zine fair. I'm going. Details:
ZINE FAIR
Saturday 9th February 2008

In the subway, Campbell Arcade (Degraves Street Subway), under
Flinders Street Station, Melbourne.

Of The Photocopier at www.stickyinstitute.com.

THEY CAN TALK!
The Precinct production blog has been hijacked by our new
podcast.
Episode #0 (the test episode): in which Ben
Hutchings and myself talk local comics, conventions and
other, more off-topic things. Delightful! You could waste
twenty minutes in other ways, but why would you?
Hear
it.
