Independent comic creators festival Caption has been confirmed for Saturday 31st July and Sunday 1st August at the East Oxford Community Centre, Oxford.

The theme is Mad Science and all ideas based around the theme welcome, so get those pencils going…

The event will be running the Caption comics table as usual, so if you have comics to sell just take them along to the event and they’ll sell them for you for a 10% fee.

If you are interested in being on a panel, doing a talk, running a workshop or being on the Caption Committe then please contact selina.lockATgooglemail.com. If you are interested in providing artwork or articles for the Caption Programme Booklet then please contact jay.ealesATgooglemail.com

Mad Science, eh? Plenty of Madd Science here from Steve English, a strip which won him £5000 in a competition back in 2007.
