From the National Young Writer’s Festival:

Comics and Beer

Attention all comic makers and beer drinkers… This year the National Young Writers Festival is thinking about expanding it’s strong zine component by getting more festival-goers to read more comics. To do this we require two components: Beer and comics. We’ve got the beer aspect covered, but we need comicicians(you) to send us your comics. The idea goes that when a person buys a beer from the Festival Club (This Is Not Art main hangout) for a dollar more they receive a comic to read. This means more distribution, more comic exposure during the festival and more people reading your comics! So please send us your comics, they can be recent comics you’ve just finished making or old copies of comics you’d just like to get rid of. They can be any size with any kind of content. Or just anything that would distract a beer drinking festival-goer from spending the whole day staring into a rapidly emptying bottle. (please note that we can only pay you a $1 percomic, as the deal goes $3 for beer, $4 for beer and a comic, and let’s face it-no one buys comics! right! infact this letter actually had the word ‘zine’ in it twenty times-not even ‘comic’, which has no place in the aussie race.) Please send your zines to Sam at Octapod 3/231 King Street Newcastle NSW 2300 or e-mail:
