Comica+observer

Hello Hello! Was just wondering if anyone is going to comica? I didn't get round to trying to sell my work (although inquiring into alt press, esp as I'll be living in london by then!) so going to just enjoy as a public citizen this time round, but was wondering if I was going to catch anyone with a stall up so I can come and say hello!? I'm also working on my first short graphic novel in ages for observer again, any of the new third years (or new second years!) got anything in the works, would be great in the coming month or two before the submission date to have some work up so we can all have some constructive crit dialogue going! :D

Cheers

Murray
