Swancon 18 bid flyers

Transcribed by Doug Burbidge

I have two bid flyers here for Swancon 18. One is black photocopy on white A5 paper, all hand-drawn art, signed “Craig Hilton ’90”. At the top left a kangaroo with goggles on forehead, wearing scarf (with the name Bruce on it) and jacket, looking towards the text:

SwanCon 18
is bidding for the
National Convention
in
1993Good gravy, Wombat, this means it’s

Perth in ’93
… and that’s serious fun!
Remember to vote Perth in ’93 at
SunCon

Around the edge of the page is a sort of cartoon of a swan in a series of 50 or so tiny drawings: the swan rockets from the bottom left up the left edge of the page, behind the kangaroo drawing, glides across the top of the page, dives down the right, tumbles partway down the descent, then glides across the bottom to complete the loop.

The other flyer, A4, enters the digital realm with a variety of fonts and sizes, and two more pieces of Craig Hilton art.

Below that, a small Roboswan at bottom left, with its left wing pointing towards text at right:
