But what was he doing in that remote estancia on the edge of the jungle for two weeks? He had neither pencil nor notepad with him, so he was certainly not working on a pamphlet. He shunned the few families who scrabbled a living in the village of Santa Eulalia, and when any of them approached the estancia he hid in one of its many cubbies. And yet he did not hide when the Government Canoe came by. Indeed, he was uncharacteristically welcoming, inviting the canoeist and his pilot ashore and regaling them with anecdotage. It is a pity no record was made of the tales he told them, for then we might have a better idea of his state of mind.
Lying to meet You is a location-based al fresco horizontal chat show. Held in locations such as Stone Henge, a boat and a bath. tobywoby introduces a world of wonderful souls / freaks whilst lying down.

Well, gold, banks and money in general featuring Ogden Nash on banks – just as relevant today as it was when written 80 years ago – Hoffnung on funding for the arts, Humphrey Bogart on the Sierra Madre and a delightful documentary from Stephen Gilmour on a rather unlikely subject.

Continuing this month’s series of shows on horror and dark fantasy comics, Alex Fitch talks to Roger Gibson and Vince Danks, creators of the ‘Fortean’ murder mystery comic Harker and the forthcoming Gravestown and to Alex De Campi, film-maker and writer of the e-comic Valentine.
Alex discusses with the creators the importance of a good location in comics, whether it’s the real world locations of Harker or the fictional haunted every town of Roger and Vince’s new project and the reasons that Alex chose Russia in 1812 as the initial location of Valentine and the various formats you can download the periodical in.
The interview with Roger and Vince was recorded at this year’s British International Comics Show in Birmingham.
3 pages from Valentine by Alex de Campi and Christine Larsen, 3 panels from Harker by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks
The third and final show in our Nonsense series culminates in some classic Lewis Carroll poems, some limericks from Lear and stories of the Pobble who has no toes and other unlikely characters.

Panel Borders: Books of Magic and Spirits of the Earth
Continuing our month of shows looking at horror and dark fantasy comics, in a pair of interviews recorded at this year’s British International Comics Show in Birmingham, Alex Fitch talks to artists Charles Vess and Peter Gross about their work. Charles is the World Fantasy Award winning illustrator of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust (adapted into a film in 2007), two issues of Sandman featuring William Shakespeare and an unusual graphic novel that saw Marvel Comics’ most famous character visit Scotland in Spider-man: Spirits of the Earth. Peter was the main artist (and later writer) of the much loved American fantasy series The Books of Magic which was probably a major influence on Harry Potter and more recently has worked on Vertigo titles Lucifer and The Unwritten with Mike Carey.

Rose by Jeff Smith and Charles Vess plus The Unwritten by Mike Carey, Peter Gross and Ryan Kelly
