Episode #3: Look At What You See
http://www.nakedfella.com/radio/comics_episode03.mp3
In this hour-long slice of cartoonist overkill, we report on how the Comic Book Funny events at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival went, and present chunky excerpts of Week 2’s discussion, featuring Benno, Glenn Smith and Ross Tesoriero (sorry about the audio quality). Also, we finally talk a bit about local comics we like rather than bagging out crap ones.
Beyond this,
- we chat about our recent visits to Sticky, Gallery 696 and the Melbourne Bar & Bistro (“Melbourne’s Cumhole”)
- Ben updates us on his drawing board situation
- we try out some product placement
- Ben’s Tootleg Boy music gets some well-deserved media love
- David honks the horn for “Comics In A Day” at the Melbourne Emerging Writers Festival
- Ben tells of his encounters with FAMOUS PEOPLE!
- and we end on a song!
