There's an amazing line-up this coming weekend at the Comics and Conflicts Conference (Pat Mills, Garth Ennis for a start), organised by comics radio presenter Alex Fitch, Ariel Kahn (Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at Roehampton University) and Paul Gravett (Comica Director). Cartoon County members might want to get along to the panel on Saturday with fellow Brighton cartoonists Sean Duffield, Dan Locke and Ben Naylor talking about the anthology War: The Human Cost that they have all contributed to (and Sean has heroically edited and brought to print). This is an excellent book and worth getting whether or not you can get to the Museum next Saturday. Word has it that Francesca Cassavetti is going to bring along her mother who kept a diary during the war - Francesca created a beautiful comic based on this.
