Art supplies are available for those who lack them, but for maximum joy, bring your favorite implements of destruction.

Cartoon babe extraordinare, Maria Lorimer will be bringing her delicious rice balls and snacks. Loki and the Jimmy might be bringing desert. Pizza might also be in the horizon upon request. A delicious selection of teas will be available at no cost. This meeting’s theme: “7/7/7, Friday the 13th and other experiments in bad numerology.” The comic book library will be open, and we will be taking a collection and making a comic art/comic book care package for Eric Lappegard. If you can’t attend and want to help, please contact Vas.

Hope to see you there!

Beloved Minneapolis cartoonist/bike enthusiast/all-around nice guy Eric Lappegard was recently in a car accident while out in Seattle.
Things are pretty serious.
I guess he can move his arms but not legs or hands, and there is a better chance of getting the hands back.
It’s all a little sketchy at this point but I’ll probably hear more in a couple of days.

You can contact Eric via the hospital email at:

or mailto:patient@u.washington.edu

There will be SOMETHING(probably a benefit concert/bike-a-thon) in the not to distant future to help with medical bills, and show the cities solidarity and love for Eric. When more information becomes available I’ll post it(although I’m thinking we should put together a benefit anthology to sell at the show/around town).
