My brain is full to bursting. Caption 2004 was probably the closest UK comics has ever gotten to an academic conference, and it was brilliant. A full report will follow, but here’s some photos
l-r Jay Eales, Steve Green, Phil Greenaway, Heather Honeypears, John Welding and Paul Rainey at the autobiography panel.
Sasha (aka Mardou), Daniel Merlin Goodbrey, ? and Andy Konky Kru sitting by the river.

Andy gave an excellent talk based on his Early Comics Archive using a piece of scaffolding as a pointer.

The exhibition was Zoetropes this year which were fun and formed a forest.

Finally, a couple more Magnifying Sheet Photos:
Leonie O’Moore…
and Steve Miller.
Hell Pete. I AM as chunky as John drew me! I’m gonna have to re-draw all my lists now!
My favourite Caption so far. It was great meeting and seeing everyone again. I’ve done five or six now but it was my first ever Sunday. Gonna do both days next year.
Paul, if you will sit next to the rake that is John Welding what do you expect…

? in the first photo is Phil Greenaway, one of the founders of the now-deceased comics apa B-APA.
Ta for that – considering it was a rapidly taken shot it’s incredible he’s the only person I didn’t recognise. Or maybe not that incredible given the circumstances…
