Webcomics recommended.

Pat Grant has been busy working on a longform book. This is pretty exciting stuff as I'm sure you'll agree. Pat is one of the best loved and respected cartoonists in Australia. Once you
ve met him, you think so too!  He's putting the pages of BLUE (working title) up online. Check it out.

What are those creatures and do you have to be afriad of them?

Caanan Grall is taking a little break from Max Overacts so he can build a buffer of pages and then start posting regularly again. So it's a great time to read it from the start and for you to get familiar with Max. One of my favourite online reads.

This is good idea by Caanan to not compromise the quality and give himself some breathing space. It's easy to forget when you're a reader of online comics about all the work that goes into them and that we get them for FREE!!  That's awesome. Take all the time you need CG. I'll be here when you get back.

A few of the cast of Max Overacts. Just look at the enthusiasm dripping of Max's face!

Another webcomic i've been enjoying is Kranburn. Chapter 2 has just finished and the third is about to begin in a couple of days. Now's your chance to jump on board and get yourself a dose of post apocalyptic outer suburban Melbourne action.

Pardon the gap in blogging.  I've started a full time course at Uni to become a primary school teacher next year. I  went straight from working to studying full time as well as moving house, yadda, yadda, yadda... excuses.

The radio show is still going strong so don't for get to listen to 3CR on 855am in Melbourne or online at 3cr.org.au.

Shows are then podcast here a couple of days after airing and then a while later they are archived here.

You can subscribe to both those feeds on iTunes.


To the linkage...

Ant Sang is an NZ creator who has released a fine looking graphic novel 'Shaolin Burning' that i'm looking forward to reading and then having him on the program to talk about. Check it out.

Gee Hale is doing his bit for graphic novels in Australia. Looks interesting.

Mapping the Multiverse reviews Bruce Mutard's A Mind of Love. Part of the Big Arse comics launch that released 9 new books into our midst. I've got the original Street Smell issues somewhere but looking forward to reading the whole book myself. TheComicSpot co-host Bernard Caleo recommends it our our latest program.

Noncanonical is a comics podcast coming out of Melbourne focussing on the diamand distributed comics. (ie the tights and flights and genre books dominating in most comic shops - i still read em, that's not a put down - just an observation) Listen to them. They are fun. Larry's laugh crack's me up!

That'll do for now.

Ciao!
