You should have introduced yourself as a Dojo member. I met Zog, but missed really talking to you.

I had a great time in Australia, but now have got to catch up on deadlines. I have an issue due next week, as well as my strip for World of Warcraft magazine, and I'm expecting Spider-man this weekend.

Did you end up getting a chance to see Sydney Stan??

If you did, truelly sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up, hectic time at work getting ready for the Santa Season.

Did you get to check out any of the Comic Book Stores here is AUS?? They are a little harder to find down under :)

Hope you both enjoyed yourself down here !!

We had a great time in Sydney. A member of the Australian Cartoonists Association picked us up at the airport, and took us on a mini-tour of the city, including Bondi Beach and the suicide look out. We took the ferry all around the harbour, going to the zoo, the opera house, and walking across the bridge to Luna Park. We even ate kangaroo.

I did a signing at a comic store in Melbourne. Unfortunately, the only advertising they did was a small flyer in the store, so attendance was quite poor--maybe a dozen people. I also did two radio interviews (one with Jon Faine) and a morning TV show in Melbourne.

Is that zoo the one with the excellent meerkat exhibit where you can poke your head into little domes from underneath the ground and be pretty much on their level?

It's exactly like that. You even turn into Axel Foley.
