First is, please support the Strumpet. I'm in it. A long, lightly fictionalised, autobiographical comic - the longest thing I've drawn for some time. Here's a taster. If you'd like to see more, go fund it!
Secondly, please come along to my book signing at The Book Barge on Monday 24th September. It will be moored outside The Narrowboat Pub, Islington. There are rumours of wine and if you're lucky I'll draw you a free biro tattoo.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Midnight Tourism.
OuVaPo, the Ouvroir des Vacances Potentielles (The Workshop of Potential Holidays) is inspired by The OuLiPo, the French Ouvroir de la Litterature Potentielle (workshop for potential literature). We are the subgroup dealing with travel literature and, as such, are a hugely successful worldwide organisation. We are responsible for every single holiday brochure that pops through your letterbox. Yes, every one.
The great thing about our holidays is that that you haven't taken them yet. And this is why our holidays are better than anyone else's. Ours are the holidays of the turquoise swimming pool, the white beaches, the shady villas you see in the brochures. Our destinations are never ruined by mosquitos, nearby building sites, local diseases or military coups. On our holidays your rental car will always start. Your waiter will always be polite. You will never, never miss your connection.
Come holiday with us as we take a journey on foot through the city. With a palindromic departure time of 11.11pm, and an estimated landing time of 00.00, the tour is followed by a midnight breakfast with Seb Emina, editor-at-large of The London Review of Breakfasts.
Please ensure you arrive in time for the check-in procedure. Travel cannot be guaranteed if you miss check-in time. Baggage allowances will be charged. Forbidden luggage items will be confiscated.
Our current voyage, leaving from the Royal Festival Hall on Friday, is nearly sold out. You might still be able to get a ticket here.
