Had a great time heading into Gosh Comics today. Other than picking up my usual standing orders of monthly comic goodness (Marvel and Dark Horse stuff), I got hold of a lovely lot of free stuff, what with this being Free Comic Book Day and all!
Free Comics FCBD 2012
Check out my freebies: the Top Shelf Kids Club, Bongo Comics inc’ SpongeBob Comics, Dark Horse‘s Buffy / The Guild and Serenity / Star Wars, Papercutz‘ The Smurfs / Disney Fairies, Marvel‘s Amazing Spider-Man and Claude TC‘s mini comic, Immortal Ewan and the rod of Rasputin. Claude is a good man and makes hilarious, brilliantly drawn comics.
Ray Friesen and Sarah McIntyre FCBD 2012
Aside from getting to catch up with comic scene buds Karrie Fransman, Mike Medaglia and Josceline Fenton, I got to sit and watch my 4 year old boy Emir draw comics alongside the supreme talents of Sarah McIntyre and Ray Friesen. It was great being introduced to Ray and his wonderful kids comic Pirate Penguin vs Ninja Chicken which me and Emir enjoyed on the tube on the way home. Ray also impressed us with this sketch of Emir’s favourite animal (for today anyway), the anteater…

Sarah did a brilliant bit of comic work featuring Emir. Click here to see it plus Sarah’s other thoughts on the day!
All this fun inspired Emir to draw his first ever comic strips…
Emir's first comic strip: Two Monsters
Emir's second comic strip: Dinosaurs
When you’re into comics, it’s not hard to get your kid to share your passions!
You must be so proud! Love the boy and his work 🙂
Hurrah, so glad you could come along! And a big thanks to Emir for helping me with my comic! Just posted some photos here: http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/476614.html
Thanks Soph – I am!
Cheers Sarah – Emir loved it! I’ve added your full blog link to my blog!
