(Gosh, it feels so grown up!) And to make it even better, I get to do it with my friend \u003Cb>Garen Ewing\u003C/b> (\u003Ca href=\"http://rainboworchid.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">rainboworchid\u003C/a>), so it should be good fun. Please do book tickets and come along if you're in the area! I don't think Paul Gravett's going to be hosting it anymore (even though he set it up), but you can find \u003Ca href=\"http://cheltenhamfestivals.com/literature-2009/graphic-novels-john-dunning-garen-ewing-paul-gravett-and-sarah-mcintyre/\">details here\u003C/a>. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://cheltenhamfestivals.com/literature-2009/graphic-novels-john-dunning-garen-ewing-paul-gravett-and-sarah-mcintyre/\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/chelt_banner3-5413abf86d.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nThat's Garen's picture from his book, \u003Ci>The Rainbow Orchid\u003C/i>, and I'll be signing copies of \u003Ci>Morris the Mankiest Monster\u003C/i>.\\r\n\\r\nDon't miss the fascinating strips \u003Cb>Darryl Cunninham\u003C/b>'s been doing lately, based on his work in a psychiatric unit. He's \u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">tallguywrites\u003C/a> on LiveJournal and you can read \u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/132767.html\">his latest strip here\u003C/a>.\\r\n\\r\nI've been a bit behind on morning sketches recently, but I am vowing to do one tomorrow! Although it may be a comics jam thingie with Gary and Viviane, we'll see. They're taking me out for a birthday brunch and things always get silly when we have toast.","2009-08-18T22:03:00.000Z","cheltenham-literary-festival",[],"cheltenham literary festival",1776628733133]
