“I hadn’t hitched from Malaga to Galway to hang out with a crusty from Surrey!”
Cartoon from Charlie Adley’s latest column over at Double Vision. Charlie’s columns also appear weekly in the Connacht Tribune. This cartoon riffs on how long you’ve to be in Galway before Galwegians think of you as Galwegian. I remember hearing it was 3 generations when I was in college. Even then the blow-ins outnumbered the “locals”! Galway’s a warm and welcoming town and your blow-in status was never held against you!

Kilkenny Animated: A Festival of Visual Storytelling 23-25 February 2018
An unmissable event that I’m missing this weekend is the Kilkenny Animated Festival in various venues from 23-25 February 2018. I had planned to go to everything and make a weekend of it but I ended up in demand elsewhere. If you’re an animation student, already in the industry, or just have an interest in cartoons, you need to go along to this. Ireland was once a hotbed of animation in the 1990s but companies like the Cartoon Saloon are marking Ireland out as one of the animation leaders in the world. That’s no small feat and it’s to be applauded until your palms sting.

Putting the Band Back Together
From 2003 to 2009 I contributed a cartoon every week to the Connacht Tribune for Charlie Adley’s Double Vision column in the Life section of that newspaper. In 2009 the section ceased publication and the column in that form came to an end.
