Been getting dug back in to organising Comicstreet for this year - including drawing this comic for the first flyer this year!
On that note! Comicstreet 2025 takes place at the Queen Street Mall Stage on August 2nd this year!
Artist table applications will open May 1st!
If you're an artist around Brisbane, Australia with a comic (or working on one that will done by August!) I encourage you to apply <3
They're putting up a new Brisbane sign. Much more stylised, I think it looks better, but I don't know if I prefer it.
Alright WHICH ONE OF YOU IS IT? Brisbane ain't that big and NixOS ain't that common.
Our family loves going out on the river or bay in our little 4.3m caper cat #sailing catamaran, designed and built in #Brisbane. We're thinking about upgrading to a slightly bigger, but still trailerable, keelboat of some flavour. Somewhere around 6m, like a farr 5/6000, kestrel 18, sun 2000, castle 650, etc.
Under 1.3 tonnes towed with a cabin to get out of the sun, and a sit-down cockpit. Any suggestions?
An excellent all-day Moreton Bay adventure yesterday to St Helena Island on the Cat O Nine Tails catamaran with these two funsters. Both knew their #brisbane stuff. Highly recommended journey into early Queensland colonial history. Will write it up for the blog.
Last week, I visited Government House in #Brisbane - where the Governor of #Queensland lives. Fancy building; mostly (but not completely) just ceremonial, but clearly a fancy dinner here is a good way to thank people doing good things.
Earlier today - to Fort Lytton National Park in #Brisbane - built and used between 1880-1945, including a “disappearing gun”. Empty, quiet but impressive structures; with a museum (which was a little junk shop-like) staffed by a number of old male volunteers. Worth a visit (though the Ampol oil refinery next door is noisy and smelly).
If someone's riding their bike down creek road just south of the cannon hill bunnings in #brisbane: There's one of those stupid yellow signs advocating for importing american culture war bullshit. It'd be a real shame if someone happened to clip off the cable ties and put it in a bin.

“Traditionally, #Queensland candidates, whether federal or state, promise to take the fight to #Canberra. They project themselves as defiantly parochial, unashamedly maroon, with a vested interest in the north. More recently, however, #power has shifted from the #regions to the #urban south-east, which is more likely to welcome new #arrivals from other states than Queensland country towns. Amid all this growth, the lines of #responsibility have blurred between federal, state and even local government. Rather than fighting Canberra, the parties – including the Greens, who thrive on street-level combat – have taken to #fighting each other.
At the last election, the #Greens picked up three seats in Greater #Brisbane, riding the winds of change. The #TealMovement was unsuccessful in its first federal foray into Queensland, in the seat of Groom, although Suzie Holt enjoyed a healthy flow of preferences and is running again.
For now, the closest thing Queensland has to #independents are Bob Katter and Gerard Rennick, but the south-east is becoming used to newcomers.”

Day 20 ️
“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.
Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.
Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”
“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.
Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”
If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony got a new job.
