Next week...
Didn't know you could draw? You'd be surprised. Come by the Childrens Bookshop in Beecroft, Sydney, for a workshop on drawing and storytelling with pictures. It's for 8-10 year olds who like drawing or didn't know they had it in them. Or just come along to say hi if you like. Contact the bookshop to book a place

Dropping by to say hi is informal.

Therefore wee are.
Junky Comics launched MuMu in style...
On Thursday Vlada launched What's Up MuMu? at her brilliant comics shop in West End. It was standing room only for the reading with musical backing scored and performed by D. Franklin Crane. It was good seeing Chris and Jackie McKummie there. I want to thank Vlada and all her volunteers profusely for setting the place up for the party and making it a success. All this whilst being on crutches.
Vlada without her crutches.
