MELBOURNE MIRROR-WORLD is William Gibson’s current blog posting, based on a message board thread.

Dennis Potter, not Harry Potter

I gather that Robert Downey Jr. is starring in a film remake of British TV screenwriting guru Dennis Potter’s miniseries ‘The Singing Detective’. This gives me mixed feelings… Guess I’ll wait and check the film out. Given the subject matter the casting may be spot on.

Comic like me:

“…we come into the studio and you’re always reading… and readings good, Zombo …but you’re always reading comics.” …the head of Zombos’ first art school explains the difference between ‘real’ reading and… some other kind of thing. (1983)

Read on, (last post on the Cornerfold Message Board) for Tim Danko’s articulate and thoughtful definition of what a comic is and just what it takes to be a comician in today’s environment. This arises out of discussion of Tim’s latest work, Anamnesis Osculation.
