It's always a bit of fun spotting Melbourne places in films and on the telly. Times the fun by 12 when it's in a hand-drawn comic book, created by local artist Bernard Caleo. It's called I Knew Him, and new cells go up every few weeks.

Slow guides
The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.
How to buy a book
Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.

Shaun Tan has a newy out: Tales from Outer Suburbia. His books are marketed as children's picture books but also fit the comic-book bill.
Bernard also guests (weekly?) on Richard Watts' most-excellent RRR programme Smart Arts: 9am-noon Thursdays.
Mandy Ord has a comic-like-book about Rooftop Cinema; it's called Rooftops, published by Allen & Unwin.
