2nd St. Paul Comic Jam Comic Contest

Once again, we’re running a contest to determine the subject of the jam comic produced every third Thursday by the St. Paul cell of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy.

I’m asking anyone who cares to, to post a reply here suggesting a topic/title for the comic to be produced at the May 15, 2008 meeting. 

The week of the meeting, if any suggestions have been made, they’ll be put to a vote, and the winner will not only see their idea brought to life, but will be awarded the original jam comic pages, compliments of the city of St. Paul.

Past jam comic contest winner, Steven Stwalley, won with his entry ELEPHANTS IN UNDERPANTS . . . surely, you can do better than that.

The winner will be awarded their prize after it has been scanned for posterity and posted to the ICC site. If the winner is unable or unwilling to pick up their prize in person, it will be mailed to them at our expense.

The St. Paul cell is accepting entries until Monday May 12, when the voting begins.

Enter now, and may the best concept win.

. . . why haven’t you?

Every third Thursday of the month, from 6:30PM – 9:30PM, the Jedi Knights of the Twin Cities’ independent comics community join “forces” to create a jam comic here:

Cosmic’s Coffee
189 N. Snelling Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55104

Afterwards, if they still haven’t found the Droids they’re looking for, the search continues here:

O’Gara’s Bar & Grill
164 Snelling Avenue North
St. Paul, MN 55104

Join them April 17, 2008 from 6:30PM until 9:30PM.

Bring your Midi-Chlorians. Paper will be provided.

St. Paul Cell Meeting Tonight

The St. Paul cell of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy will meet again tonight, Thursday, February 21, 6:30 PM at:

Cosmic’s Coffee 189 N. Snelling Avenue St. Paul, MN 55104

This month, the St. Paul conspirators left their jam comic topic up to anyone who cared to contribute one. Only five brave souls dared submit an idea to a vote to determine what the St. Paul cell will draw at this month’s meeting.

So far, “Elephants in Underpants” has captured the heart of America, and looks to ride its momentum to victory. The person with the winning idea will be awarded the original artwork from the resulting jam comic.

There’s still time to vote by following this elephantine link:

The meeting is open to all who wish to attend.

Apologies to Chinatsu Ban.

Don’t Let Stwalley Win!

At the risk of sacrificing some of the spontaneity of the jam comics produced every third Thursday by the St. Paul cell of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy, I’ve asked anyone who cares to, to suggest a topic for the February 21, 2008 jam comic.

Any suggestions made before February 14, 2008 will be put to a vote, and the winner will not only see their idea brought to life, but will be awarded the original jam comic pages, compliments of the city of St. Paul.

So far, only Steven Stwalley has suggested a topic: “Elephants in underpants, the last of the old timers, and pancake phobia.” If you think you can come up with something better than that, go here:

and prove it.
