Details here of a nationwide casting call for exciting fresh material for new colour UK humour comic, Wasted. Edited by Alan Grant, the comic is aimed at today's youth gone wild. (A definite opportunity then for creators of bazooka-wielding, monkey-headed robot-zombies keen on nuns' habits, Star Wars-related quipping and random carnage.)
