CAPTION 2008
Mon 11 Aug 2008

A big thank you to all the Caption team who put on yet another marvellous event in Oxford this past weekend. I could only make it up on the Saturday, and thanks to motorway congestion and misty rain-spray I got there halfway through the DFC panel (which had the room packed out and was very good).

As is usual with these events, it was great to meet and talk with everyone I did, and I'm disappointed at missing many more. My original drawings for the Comics A-Z did quite nicely in the auction, so thank you to everyone who put in a bid. I'll try and find out how much they raised (edit: £181), but the important thing is that the auction total was over £600 - amazing stuff. If I'd have been a bit more flush myself I would have definitely gone for the Lee Kennedy sketchbook... a wonderful thing to own.

Elyssa came up with me, which reminded me that our first sort-of-date involved dropping in at a proto-Caption at the Red Sun Institute in Reading in 1992 - I don't think it was called Caption then, but I might be wrong.

Selina has put together a terrific Caption video report, and Sarah has bashed out an amusing comic strip, both suffice as excellent overviews of the day, and there are more links here.
