Watcha everyone! Apologies for not being around for a while, but I've been mega-busy as per usual. You'll be pleased to know my stories are back on schedule and there are a couple due out soon-ish. Hooray!
Also, it may not have escaped your attention, but it's the Beano's 70th Birthday this year! There's plenty of celebrations going on, including exhibitions and special Beano comics etc., and Gary Northfield, creator of Derek The Sheep (i.e. ME!) will be talking about his work for the Beano at a few of these events.
- The first one is in Dundee at the Lamb Gallery, Dundee University on Wednesday 30th July. Details will appear here: www.dundee.ac.uk/museum/news.htm
Might even be a powerpoint talk about his work, which sounds very posh.
- Secondly Gary will be appearing at Newport Central Library, Newport, Wales August 7, 2008, between 11am and 12 noon and Malpas Library, Malpas, Wales between 2pm and 3pm. Here he'll be chatting about me, Derek, my brilliant stories and showing off my great new book out from Bloomsbury! Which is lovely, I must say. I have an advanced copy and it looks fab! These are probably children's workshops involving some cartooning and creating characters, which should be fun.
- Thirdly(!) on the 23rd of August, he'll be getting involved in some more chat about me at the Cartoon Museum in London

There's going to be a big exhibition of Beano art on there too, so it'll be worth a visit at some point anyway. Can't promise any Derek pages (there might be, I need to double check), but plenty of other great pages on show!
Phew! That's loads!
Yeah, that book looks gorgeous....
