Episode #3: Look At What You See
http://www.nakedfella.com/radio/comics_episode03.mp3
In this hour-long slice of cartoonist overkill, we report on how the Comic Book Funny events at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival went, and present chunky excerpts of Week 2’s discussion, featuring Benno, Glenn Smith and Ross Tesoriero (sorry about the audio quality). Also, we finally talk a bit about local comics we like rather than bagging out crap ones.
Beyond this,
- we chat about our recent visits to Sticky, Gallery 696 and the Melbourne Bar & Bistro (”Melbourne’s Cumhole”)
- Ben updates us on his drawing board situation
- we try out some product placement
- Ben’s Tootleg Boy music gets some well-deserved media love
- David honks the horn for “Comics In A Day” at the Melbourne Emerging Writers Festival
- Ben tells of his encounters with FAMOUS PEOPLE!
- and we end on a song!

Tootleg Boy tracks in this podcast:
– Little Bit Of Jesus
“The Never Ending Story” was written by Giorgio Moroder and Keith Forsey. We adapted our arrangement from a MIDI file, author unknown.
Special thanks to our new robot announcers.
…it’s a legitimate form of art! These are from Giles K and Pat G.

Episode #2: Don’t Be Shame, Be Game
http://www.nakedfella.com/radio/comics_episode02.mp3
In this episode, we are sex-obsessed. We talk about the comics in free youth magazine STREETWIZE and how its spin-off, JAILWIZE, helped inmates get laid safely, we discuss the least erotic comic book ever made in Australia and even many of Ben’s Tootleg Boy music tracks are about sex. Sexy!
Also, we plug our own stuff again, touch on the giant “Life: Be In It!” ball and classic Aussie cartoonists, there’s plenty of swearing and David impugns the reputation of a dead cartoonist. Plus an exclusive interview with William Shatner!
You can download Ben’s music at his website. Here are the tracks used in this podcast, so you know which ones to get:
Sing A Song Of Bum Sex
- I Am Saucy
- Pop Punk Is So Exciting
- Shlong Surgery
- I Rode To Woden
- There Is Nothing Like A Sex
