here, thanks to freddy hollis, is manly boys in situ in the rude britannia exhibition as aforementioned,
and here’s the table at the bradford zine fayre which me and hugh shug raine shared. i’ve borrowed this photo from him, and his more detailed report can be found here. it was a really good event, and we both sold well. if this photo whets your appetite, don’t forget everything is for sale in the shop. more exciting news soon…..
As you, dear reader, may or may not be aware, i put myself forward for the eagle awards in the category of best british comic black and white or something. anyway, i’m not too bothered that i didnt get shortlisted, as it was more to be there or thereabouts as part of my awareness campaign. however, i am extremely chagrined at the fact that tales from the flat got shortlisted- it was actually the fact that they were in there that made me get involved- i thought if that bag of spanners is on there, my quality publication surely deserves a crack. i dont really understand the small press scene. there’s some many pairs of buttocks masquerading as comics out there, which i think even to the untrained eye are self indulgent tripe, tales from the flat very much included, which seem to do well and be popular. horses for courses i suppose, for every arsehole who’s a dickhead, theres a shit comic for you, for every conoisseur of excellence, theres a banal pig.
there. i’ve published my thoughts. let my sour motherfucking grapes dissipate into the etherel world wide web…
p.s. vote for the eagle awards, my recommendation would be vented spleen, anything but tales from the fucking flat please.
