The Forbidden Planet International Blog Log

And if you understand that title, well done, you’ve been reading the FPI blog for a long time – maybe we need long service badges?

First up: The latest Panel Borders podcast concludes a month long series of shows on “collectives and anthologies” with Dickon Harris chatting to the Banal Pig pairing of Steve Tillotson and Gareth Brookes about their self published comics whilst Alex Fitch talks to Sarah McIntyre and Viviane Schwartz, who, along with Gary Northfield, share a studio they like to call the Fleece Station. The podcast was first broadcast on Resonance 104.4 FM, streamed at www.resonancefm.com and podcast at Panel Borders.

And whilst on those Fleece Station folks, Sarah McIntyre’s Live Journal has some great news about her Morris The Mankiest Monster book nearly selling out, a book from Oxford University Press and three new projects from David Fickling Books, including two featuring Vern & Lettuce!

And finally, should you want to get all manky over the weekend there are some lovely Morris templates over at the Random House website that should keep your own little monsters quiet for an hour or so. (pdf direct link, web link)
