So I've got a mate coming down today; the disgustingly talented Phil. I've known him since we worked together on our student paper. I was the editor, he was the cartoonist with a sideline in deeply amusing features.
Why disgustingly talented? As well as being a brilliant cartoonist and writer, he was also a runner up in last year's BBC New Talent comedy awards. He brought the tape with him the last time he came to stay and had a party full of strangers (to him) in hysterics. OK, his sketches are surreal - "Doctor Jekyll and Mr Heidi" springs to mind - but you'll see, when we finally get round to building his site and the videos are streamed on it why I reckon he's ace. Until then, you'll have to take my word for it.
Anyway, he's got an interview today and I offered to cook him dinner. I always spend the entire evening laughing when he comes round, which is a good way to spend time. He's also doing me some cartoons for Cliterati. The pic on the right is one of the generic pics of 'Ms Cliterati' (working title!) but he'll be doing icons for all the sections later. Really looking forward to seeing them.
Although not looking forward to the hangover tomorrow.
