Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival this weekend

I'm off to the Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival tomorrow (events start today and run until Sunday) for lots of the usual cartoony shenanigans. Here's a pic of me drawing for some bemused passers-by at last year's festival. Photo by Gerard Whyman.

I've written a short preview of this year's festival for the Forbidden Planet blog. If I get a chance I'll post on this blog when I'm there, and add twitter.com/roystoncartoons updates, and I'll certainly report back next week.

But mostly the place to be for up-to-the-minute coverage, courtesy of myself, Matt Buck, and Alex Hughes, will be The Bloghorn and its associated Twitter feed.

And if you're going to the festival, I'll see you there for a pint of Happy Barry. Yes that's right, the Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival has its own official beer this year. Cheers!
