How remiss of me... Melbourne Writers Festival events.

I've been too busy to notice every festival and goings on around town that might be comic related and of some interest but it was particularly bad form to forget the Writers Festival.

Here's a few events that may be of interest...

 - Illustrators in Residence at Fed Square. Details. FREE. - daily

- Seeing the World Differently. Pat Grant and Bernard Caleo talk comics. Details - $6 Wed Sept 1

- The Alternative Hamlet. Bernard talks with Nicki Greenberg about her new book. Details- $6 Thurs Sept 2

- Picture This! Bernard talks up a storm about comics and gives hints. Details - $6 Thurs Sept 2

- Neil Gaiman with Shaun Tan and Andrea Innocent. Details. FREE but book. - Thurs Sept 2

- The launch of Francis Bear by Gregory Mackay. Details. FREE - Sat Sept 4

You can see what Bernard thinks of this extraordinary week here.

If I wasn't working this weekend there's no way  i would miss the launch and grab a (rare coz it's in English)copy of Francis Bear.

PHEW... who said too much comics are never enough?
