At Bubonicon this past weekend, 7000 BC created an illustration of 40 rats in honor of the sci-fi convention’s 40th year and its mascot, Perry the rat. (Click for larger.)
Artists from the group starting on the drawing Saturday morning, raffle tickets were sold all day and into the next, the drawing was held Sunday afternoon — and the lucky winner had himself drawn in as the 40th rat. Proceeds from the raffle ticket sales went to Bubonicon’s charities.
Thanks to everyone who bought tickets — it was a huge success and great fun, and we plan to do it again next year.
Now available for download — Exact Change, the jam comic produced at the August 7000 BC meeting.
