Malcy Duff's latest online comic is Frobisher South which is not in the BugPowder gallery. It's on Cu Comics which is developing into a very nice repositry for online UK based comics. And no, I'm not bitter than Malcy took this to them without telling me. Oh no. I consider him to be one of the bright shining lights on the UK small press scene so any exposure is a good thing.

Most organisations have an artist in residence - I've decided that ours in Andrew Fiddy who's just launched his new site www.3pointone4.com. There is a comics link - Andrew is a talented comics creator - but most of his work is not strictly comics. However I like to have him around so he'll be linked to from here regularly. So there.

Catching up on the last week's emails:

Craig Conlan of Hairy Mary fame has a website - mainly portfolio but some rants, strips and groovy downloads on there.

Ed Hillyer's online comic strip / animation Jean Genii is up to episode three at the BBC's teen site SO. Check it out.

Shane D. Rivett of Freakypud writes:

Freakypuds' comix proudly presents it's first small press publication, ButterGuy! Set in the high-camp world of men in tights, over the top characters and with an emphasis on fun, adventure and just plain stupidity. This is 100% super hero stuff! freakypud's comix is also online where you will find regularly updated cyber comics, a f/nightly comic strip 'G.I.Ant', an online community and indepth character bios, original art and much more. If you feel you've grown out of this stuff then freakypud's comix has many more projects lined up aimed at adult audiences. Don't miss out on ButterGuy # 1, and witness the birth of the latest and greatest small press campion... ever!

Chaz Wood takes advantage of the site:

Caledon Comix, based in Dundee, have recently released their second publication, 'Yokelore' #1: 24-page, A5, full-colour cover format. This fantasy anthology collects tales influenced and inspired by fairies, witches, warriors, werewolves and goddesses. Subject matter leans to the Celtic side but any writer/artists with ideas similar to the above more than welcome for future issues. Cover price is £1.75, with #2 looking set for an autumn release!

and finally, Jim McGee writes to plug his site BugMonkey and asks for a review. I like it. It's got cute stuff on it, including the wonderful Ape Hole and it's called BugMonkey, which manages to combine half of BugPowder and my favourite word. So what more can I say?

Sell your comics in Newcastle. Leonie writes:

There'll be a small press comics day in a venue bar in Newcastle on the 15th September 2001 held by the There goes Tokyo... website in association with Newcastle Arts Centre. Free admission. Everyone is welcome. Anyone who would like to sell their comics should get in touch with us (tgtokyo@animail.net). Comics are sold on a sale or return basis and there may be a very small mark up to cover costs. We'd love lots of flyers/posters/promotional stuff too. We need the stuff in advance, or to be told about it in advance, don't just bring it on the day because we're setting up stalls and things and need an idea of space. Anyone interested should get in touch with us.
