Comics + Sleep Deprivation = ComICA 07
This Sunday I’ll be giving a talk on webcomics as part of ComICA 07 at the ICA in London. Here’s the blurb from the ICA website:
Comica Collaboratories (4pm – 5pm)
Webcomics wizard Daniel Merlin Goodbrey (Last Sane Cowboy & Other Stories) guides you through experiments in online comics, including cutting-edge blog collaborations by Lingua Comica’s participants.
You can get the full low down on all the rest of this year’s ComICA related events from Paul Gravett. I’ll also be taking part in 24 Hour Comics Day starting on Saturday and going through till Sunday, just before I’m due to give the talk. It may be worth turning up just to see what nonsense I come up with following 24 hours of comics enforced sleep deprivation.
I’ve made 24 hour comics three times before (here, here and here) but this will be the first year I’ve participated in what now seems to be the official annual day of 24ing. Hopefully I will not mess up too badly while everyone is watching.

The answer to last week’s competition-with-no-prizes was Blue Velvet. The winner was Tom, although he cheated by using Google, so it’s a good job there wasn’t a prize at stake in the first place.

Now It’s Dark
Short competition with no prizes! “Now it’s dark” is a line uttered by Dennis Hopper in which 80’s film? No googling!
Birmingham! So good, they named it.
This weekend it’s time for the now hopefully annual Birmingham International Comics Show. I’ll be there once again, sharing a table with Douglas and Dave. I’ll also be on a panel on Sunday morning called “Small Press – Big Future” which will be about… oh, I dunno, small press comic stuff I guess. You should come along, it’s bound to be a hoot.

Dinosaurs Won’t
And that’s why relations between man and dinosaur are doomed to failure. Some will take this news harder than others.
