It is all true.
Be there or be at home drunk on your couch loser, the choice is yours.

Bah! do it in the 2nd week of January, I’ll bring nibbles ;)
oh and i would bring pigs in blankets! not actual pigs, or actual blankets either.
except i cant make it AT ALL because at the very same time (give or take 22 or so hours) i will be celebrating thanksgiving atop an ice rink in nyc. ITS TRUE!
“A panel of some of Australia’s sharpest and wittiest cartoonists”
… and you’re on there, too!
At the Village Roadshow Theatrette????
Sheesh, what a bunch of wusses.
Why isn’t it on at the MCG?…….Under lights!!!
With John Farnham as the warm up act?
Congrats FD.
Ruth is a bit rude. Did she used to be called Fiona?
But if we went to that then we’d know you’re not really a dog. That would be bad, I can’t really explain why.
@beckchanock – ’santa’, ‘easter bunny’, ‘fairies at the top of the mango tree’, now ‘first dog on the moon’ – oh why do i keep buying into these unrealities.
May I please make a booking for one for ‘at home drunk on your couch’?
i will also be giving thanks in nyc at the appointed hour. regina, will your pigs in blankets (you are obviously very kind) also be atop said ice?
@Mark Lever well i cant very well leave them at home!
and if i bring them to an ice rink – especially all the way to nyc – theyll need a warm something-or-rather wont they? pigs dont have fur coverage of their own you see. i saw that on tv so it must be true.
oh and dont tell firstdog but im going to bring him back lots of genuine american fridge magnets. shhhh …
I was going to say book me a ticket, then I realised that I too will be ice skating and giving thanks in NYC. Yay! Clearly it is way cooler to go to NY then cartoonist panels.
Perhaps all us New Yorkers can meet up and have our own debate panel about you!?
First topic: ‘WTF was the Avril Lavigne one about?’
Plan?
It was about Avril Lavigne! I sent it to everyone I went to high school with – well, apart from the dickheads who I’m not in touch with – and we all wept with nostalgia.
You will all have to cancel your trips to NY. And yes exactly, it was about Avril Lavigne and this girl who met this boy and they liked each other but her friends didn’t like him and…
uh-oh. do i need to know who avril lavigne is before i go to nyc with my new besties amber jamieson and mark lever?
maybe my new besties amber jamieson and mark lever can explain who avril lavigne is as we skate around the rockefeller center (note american spelling!) hand in hand in cute matching bonnets and woollen capes.
it doesnt sound nearly as much fun as the village roadshow theatrette at the state library of victoria entry 3 latrobe street melbourne at 6.15 for 6.30 but i guess we will manage somehow.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
oh i wonder if they sell avril lavigne fridge magnets in new york.
maybe my new besties amber jamieson and mark lever will know.
if only i knew who they were.
firstdog you really should consider employing a moderator for pesky posters on their second cup of espresso when they ordinarily only drink tea.
oh dear i do hope i didnt split an infinitive there.
Congratulations FD!
Unfortunately I wont be able to make it, and I don’t have an inventive excuse-such as on an ice rink in NYC-but I do have a previous engagement.
Will your book be available in the Crikey shop at some stage?
Is there anyway you can put up the next time you intend to write in FBOTM on the home page? I seem to have missed a few: or is it a regular thing and I’m just too dopey to pick it up?
Cheers, and break a leg on 26 Nov!
