Comic Gosh!p: Issue 20, “Krazy Kat”, “Calvin & Hobbes” and “Lucy the Octopus”

Gosh! Comics, 1 Berwick Street, Soho, London, England
Free Entry

I’m a regular attendee at Comic Gosh!p, a proud Gosh!per, and always learn a lot and laugh a lot. Each event normally includes a mainstream comic (in this case two) and one small press book (in this case our blue, eight-legged, guitar-rocking friend).
You can join the group’s facebook page here!
Even if Lucy wasn’t up for discussion in June, this one would still be a must for me as both Krazy Kat and Calvin & Hobbes are big influences. I even did a dissertation on Calvin & Hobbes back at college.
If you fancy reading any of the strips before coming along (or even if you can’t make it), here’s where to look…
- Read some Krazy Kat here, or buy any Krazy Kat printed collection.
- Read a month of Calvin & Hobbes here, or if you’re only going to buy a printed collection you might want to start with The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book which is kind of a greatest hits and has lots of insight into the strip’s creation.
- And of course you can buy a Lucy the Octopus collection here or check it out online for free at lucytheoctopus.net.
Hope to see some of you there!
