My, the Bugblog inbox is packed to the gills right now. Unfortunately, I've been busy with real-world stuff, as have many of your blue-eyed Bug-some contributors, so the blog hasn't been kept as up-to-date as we might have wished.

Maybe you'd like that situation to change, and one way would be to volunteer yourself! By signing up, you get access to the famed bugblog inbox, and the ability to log in here and post news items. You'll be among the first to hear about cool stuff, and can even mention your own projects. Just one post per week from a few of you could make a world of difference to a news-starved small press reader, a sick dog, or a poorly child.

Many of you will be in Bristol right now, enjoying the air, and the Comics Expo. Do have fun, and let me know what I missed, it'll be the first one I've had to skip since I started turning up to these things. Look out for the Comics Village fete area. There'll be lots of small-press goodies throughout the expo, pick one of everything up. By winking at tableholders, and uttering the password 'Dan Fish said to say hello', you may win fun prizes!

"Al Davison's entertaining and powerful performance culminates in his struggle to overcome "disability", the prejudice that surrounds it, and his mission to end a cycle of astonishing events in his family's history.
