In this hour-long slice of cartoonist overkill, we report on how the Comic Book Funny events at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival went, and present chunky excerpts of Week 2’s discussion, featuring Benno, Glenn Smith and Ross Tesoriero (sorry about the audio quality). Also, we finally talk a bit about local comics we like rather than bagging out crap ones.<br />
<br />
Beyond this,<br />
<br />
we chat about our recent visits to Sticky, Gallery 696 and the Melbourne Bar & Bistro (”Melbourne’s Cumhole”)<br />
Ben updates us on his drawing board situation<br />
we try out some product placement<br />
Ben’s Tootleg Boy music gets some well-deserved media love<br />
David honks the horn for “Comics In A Day” at the Melbourne Emerging Writers Festival<br />
Ben tells of his encounters with FAMOUS PEOPLE!<br />
and we end on a song!I dun some coinstag:www.comicslifestyle.com,2008-03-12:864783:BlogPost:60632008-03-12T10:28:06.000ZBen Hutchingshttp://www.comicslifestyle.com/profile/BenHutchings
I did a series of coins for the Royal Australian Mint!<br />

There will be 6 coins in all, each with a different character. This is Binny Bilby.<br />

(The koala coin image isn't quite how I drew it just in case you were wondering)

<br />
In this episode, we are sex-obsessed. We talk about the comics in free youth magazine STREETWIZE and how its spin-off, JAILWIZE, helped inmates get laid safely, we discuss the least erotic comic book ever made in Australia and even many of Ben’s Tootleg Boy music tracks are about sex. Sexy!<br />
<br />
Also, we plug our own stuff again, touch on the giant “Life: Be In It!” ball and classic Aussie cartoonists, there’s plenty of swearing and David impugns the reputation of a dead cartoonist. Plus an exclusive interview with William Shatner!<br />
<br />
You can download Ben’s music at his website. Here are the tracks used in this podcast, so you know which ones to get:<br />
<br />
* Sing A Song Of Bum Sex<br />
* I Am Saucy<br />
* Pop Punk Is So Exciting<br />
* Shlong Surgery<br />
* I Rode To Woden<br />
* There Is Nothing Like A Sex<br />

This mighty tome collects the adventures of the Lesson Master together into a nice, shiny comic book.<br />
Watch in awe as he teaches unsuspecting citizens the correct attitudes towards everything from how to serve a drink in a bar, talking in cinemas and using the correct toilet.<br />

Stand-up comedy is lovely, but it’s got a Twilight Zone-style mirror world which lives on paper and feeds on ink: the world of the underground cartoonist.<br />
<br />
Australia’s vigorous community of independent comic book makers spend their days as clerks, shopgirls, students, teachers, ad artists, animators and telemarketers. By night the spotlight drops onto their drawing boards and their pens and brushes come out to play.<br />

Stand-up comedy is lovely, but it’s got a Twilight Zone-style mirror world which lives on paper and feeds on ink: the world of the underground cartoonist.<br />
<br />
Australia’s vigorous community of independent comic book makers spend their days as clerks, shopgirls, students, teachers, ad artists, animators and telemarketers. By night the spotlight drops onto their drawing boards and their pens and brushes come out to play.<br />
<br />
Their work is angry, scatological, satiric, whimsical and just plain funny.<br />
<br />
Comic Book Funny is a series of free events presenting the often hilarious, occasionally touching and always purchasable works of Australia’s funniest comics auteurs -- the print analogue to the rest of the Comedy Festival.<br />
<br />
Drop by the Bella Union Bar at Trades Hall each Saturday at 4pm and you’ll meet a few more talented cartoonists. See their wares! Ask them questions! Drink with them! Admire their ink-stained fingers!<br />
<br />
Featuring Australia’s best and funniest cartoonists: Gerard Ashworth, Neale Blanden, David Blumenstein, Bernard Caleo, Pat Grant, Nicki Greenberg, Ben Hutchings, Dean Rankine, Glenn Smith, Ross Tesoriero, Andrew Weldon and more!<br />
<br />
David Blumenstein and Ben Hutchings will be podcasting local comics talk and general silliness during the festival, at http://www.nakedfella.com/blog/.<br />
