A number of exciting things have happened that revolve around myself, or rather one boring thing has happened to me and a number of exciting things may happen should I ever decide to set to work upon the various paths laid-out before me.
Firstly, I did a twenty-four hour comic for no good reason, which begins here.
It involves such exciting elements as spies, gangsters, monsters, 60s retro kitsch, head in jars and IVF substitutes.
Secondly, I was in the most prominent comic-shop in Melbourne two days ago and perused the Austrlian comics shelf. Whilst I ended-up buying a few issues of Nakedfella and something called Killeroo (which had pretty art but not much else, so i should have bought some western called 'Eldritch' instead), it also came to my attention that a blind monkey could get comics present upon the Australia Comics shelf. This was probably because it doubled as "local artists", but in any event I have decided that my abilities are greater than that of a blind monkey, and decided to use the extent of my comicular powers to try and make something that actually looks nice, and will get racked as a stand-alone that sells ten copies in a year and then decomposes of sorrow.
I have three months off, so I'm going to make it worth it. Needless to say, the comic will also be comparable in sanity and coherence to a hat full of miliners.

Some of those panels were outrageously good. My favourite being the coming to age of Agent Thylacine.

Damn! That should be 'coming of age'
