Read Comics In Public Day Runaround

AlcoholWatch: London gets a Read Comics In Public Day. And, because it's London, turns it into a Read Comics In Pub Day instead.

TamaraWatch: Posy Simmonds gets profiled on her work Tamara Drewe and her history in the comics medium in the newspaper which made her name, The Guardian.

From Hardy I nicked six main characters and some bits of the plot. I do like his moralism and his gloomy endings. And the fact that Tamara first appeared in the Guardian Review brought something extra to the idea of setting it in a writers' retreat.

BlackAndWhiteWatch: The other day I ran my story from the upcoming Outlaw Territories 2 in full. Now artist Tom Fowler has run the black-and-whites.

XWatch: Look forward to The Fall Of The New Mutants!

SayleWatch: Comedian, short story writer and occasional graphic novelist Alexei Sayle writes;

I was allowed to buy British comics, but not American ones. But it wasn't like being Amish.

MexicoWatch: Movie adaptation of sci-fi graphic novel Seres: Genesis has been picked up by 24 frames in the USA and Canada. A Mexican movie and comic, the film will be released in late October, while the comic is also being translated into English to accompany it.

CompetitionWatch: Ten One Design is running an iPad art contest to win thousands of dollars of stuff.

ConWatch: Tickets for the Leeds comic convention Thought Bubble (held on my birthday) are now on sale.
