Squishface Studio is a shared workspace for comics makers in Melbourne. We got together a gang of local artists and writers, and made a "kids annual"-style collection of comics, activities and silliness! Our version of Cole's Funny Picture Book, or Knight Rider Annual '83.After a year of writing, drawing and workshops with the grade 2s at Kensington Primary School, we've rolled all our expertise into a book for 8-12 year olds -- Squishbook! It's a how-to-make-comics book, and a why-you-should-make-comics book, and every "drawing kid" in Australia should have it (or borrow it from the library six times in a row).It features some of the best funny cartoonists and writers in Australia: David Blumenstein, Ben Hutchings, Sarah Howell, Jo Waite, Scarlette Baccini, Briar Rolfe, Alex e Clark, Patrick Alexander, Jin Hien Lau, Ive Sorocuk, Alex Pavlotski, Nicholas J. Johnson and Warwick Holt.
