40 Rats Illustration
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.

Reminder! Come Remember the Vegan Ninja this Saturday, August 9th!
It is hard to believe almost a year has passed since the Vegan Ninja, Eric Lappegard, left the planet. Please come and raise a drink or three to his memory with us August 9th at Grumpy’s downtown (1111 Washington Ave. S. Minneapolis, MN), and do take some time to revisit his wonderful comics. Below is an open invite from Eric’s family.
Hello to everyone,
I can’t believe a year has gone by. We think about Eric everyday and have decided that we would like to have a get together with his friends to remember him. We would like to get together with as many of his friends that can make it on Saturday August 9th. We have reserved the party room at Grumpy’s downtown that evening starting at 7:30 pm. We hope that you can make it and if you know of anyone I may have missed please pass the word around. We want it to be a fun time remembering Eric and in the way that he would have enjoyed. Hope to see you there.
Cindy, Boyd & Jessica Lappegard
