I whipped up some graphics below using images from old comic books for folks to use to help promote Springcon… put them on your blog, social network or what have you to help get the word out… and link them here. See you at Springcon!

The Conspiracy is trying a different tactic this year for Springcon (May 21-22), our wonderful local comics convention. Rather than having a centralized presence at one table, we are hoping to have our presence felt throughout the convention. To this end, please consider helping our cause by purchasing a fez!

This site sells high-quality fezzes CHEAP in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Anyone purchasing a fez to wear at Springcon will receive a free Cartoonist Conspiracy patch to sew onto it! To get your patch, just hassle me whenever you see me at or before the convention… or email me if you don’t know who the hell I am (webmaster(at)cartoonistconspiracy.com).

Please pass on the word about this. Thanks much to all of you choosing to participate in this!

Okay. So the scheduled Open Studio happens to fall right on top of SpringCon. That means attendance will probably be light. And that means not so much talking! Fewer distractions mean that you will probably be able to get a lot of work done on your Lutefisk Sushi submission! Nice.

Sat., May 15, noon to 4 p.m., MCBA FlexiSpace (metal tables)

If you can’t find us in the MCBA building, ask the friendly person working in the MCBA bookstore. This is an open studio — all are welcome.

Here is a promotional chicklet I made you can put on your site, social network, or whatever it is you kids do with these things these days to help promote good things…

We could use some additional Conspiracy volunteers to hang out at our space over the weekend. If you can help out please email me at:

Hope to see you there!
