It was 24-hour comics day recently, and I did one! Despite some unexpected clamouring for me to do a sequel to my previous sort-of-'24-hour'-comic, I tried to take it fairly seriously this time.
Anyway, it went alright. My full report can be read here, and the comic, The Device, should hopefully be available fairly soon.

People who like comics-related podcasts should be aware of an exciting new podcast on the Geek Syndicate network called 'If You Like This'.
It takes particular books/TV/films/games/genres/whatever, and recommends comics that fans of the first thing might like.
I will admit to a tiny amount of input into this wondrous new audio delight: I've done the short theme music for it. This is the second podcast that has been blighted by Oscillating Brow music, the other being the equally excellent Small Press Big Mouth (also available on the Geek Syndicate network).
Anyway, anyone who likes things and might like to like comics that are like the things they like will almost certainly like If You Like This, so should check it out now.
The first episode is looking at stuff for people who like either The Wire and/or Boston Legal, so the recommendations have a political/law & order flavour. All bias aside, it's a dang fine show and you would be mad to miss it.

Leeds Alternative Comics Fair
Last weekend saw the first Leeds Alternative Comics Fair. It was in a pub ('A Nation of Shopkeepers') in Leeds, wherein a select bunch of small press comics producers sold their wares in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Paper Jam were amongst them, or at least Gary Bainbridge, Andy Waugh, Paul Thompson and Ben Clark were, I just turned up and insisted on dumping my shoddy comics on the table too.
Anyway, it was thoroughly enjoyable, I bought a bunch of comics, the pub did good beer and food, and I made a brief trip to the wondrous indie-centric comic shop OK Comics during the afternoon. Plenty of comics were sold (even one or two Oscillating Brow ones) and a pretty good time seemed to be had by all. For more info, see the write-ups from organisers Hugh Raine & Steve Tillotson, and Stacey Whittle on the SFX magazine blog.
