It’s only two pages — but it shows you the way to enlightenment.

The February 7000 BC meeting will be held at the meeting space at Title Wave Books at 1408 Eubank NE in Albuquerque on Sunday, February 15, starting at noon.

As usual, we’ll be creating a jam comic, planning out future programs, and collecting artwork for string, as well as making our final preparations for 7000 BC’s appearance at STAPLE!.

Click image for pdf — a mouth-watering 6 mb!

Sorry this jam is so late in coming. I had to run it past the Milk Advisory Board due to page 10. And now for the title in a slightly bolder font:

Rejected! Art, Hot Dish and Dating

Here is a big gallery I just posted of images from the previously mentioned Hot Ink: Comic Art show at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, currently showing until January 4th… at which point the Museum’s lease runs out, leaving them with an uncertain future. One can only speculate that this directly had to do with their decision to deface their walls with Soapy the Chicken comic strips. You can read reviews of the show here and here. Click the image to go to the gallery.

The show features the work of:
Big Time Attic
Kevin Cannon
Zander Cannon
Will Dinski
Tom Kaczynski
Reynold Kissling
Lars Martinson
King Mini
Tyler Page
Evan G. Palmer
Brittney Sabo
Zak Sally
Barbara Schulz
