h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...that was too lazy to get Anarchy Gordon done. Dmitri supplied the script in record time.

I think, given the circumstances, we can let you off this week. We really do need some more cartoonists, though - do you know anyone in the Community artists who might be persuaded?

Better luck next time!

The Community Artists are very sparsely populated anyway but I can ask around.

I could probably throw something together if you're looking for the odd one off cartoon/comic... If you're interested just give me a random topic and I'll oblige

One-offs would be great

I hope to finally get the 80 Worlds project off the ground now, too.

That would be a wonderful idea. It's always great to have cartoons in The Post, as it's the only bit of the site where you can have them.

We may eventually need the AViators for Anarchy Gordon, too

Funnily enough, I have thought of that. Email me any ideas you have along those lines and I'll see what I can do

Not quite yet. That would be telling!

Psssht.

The way to build suspense, me dear, is to avoid replying to postings that say something like 'Email me any ideas you have along those lines and I'll see what I can do'. That way, anyone reading thinks you're working on something really secretive and immense. You've blown it now

You just want 'em to think you're in the know

After getting that email from you just now, I am now

I'm busy updating the Artists' pages, and under "What do the artists do?" have included the following paragraph:

Though The Post's cartoonists are often Community Artists as well, it's not a requirement. If you would like to submit a cartoon for inclusion in The Post, contact the Post Team to discuss technical specifications, deadlines, and other details.

Hopefully that will throw some more business your way.

You're a real dynamo

Can you get something together for '80 Worlds' for The Post, do you think? I'd really love to help to get it moving along.

Yes - I think we can get that one off the ground soon. Maybe not by the next issue, but soon. (I'll have a full week of boring seminars in which to doodle )

Oh, no, I didn't mean that! You have enough doodling to keep you occupied with AG, I'm sure. I meant an appeal for contributors; an outline of the project and what people need to do to get involved. It's the kind of 'community-wide' idea I like to use as one of my FP picks, so it may help to get it off the ground

I wasn't planning on doing it all by myself

I've already got contributions from King Bomba and Tavaron, I figured I'd do one of my own and then write it up, and you could have something to start with

I'm keen. You've seen the standard of my artwork, but I think I can be creative enough - if not necessary proficient enough! - to muck in. It's always good to do something you think you can't do, you know? Stretch a little, perhaps
