A comic drawn on 3 x 3″x16″ strips of paper and then PS together. A lot of us felt that the limitations of the format helped us create some great work.

Storytime Theatre
Now available for download — Storytime Theatre, the jam comic produced at the April 7000 BC meeting. Like all our jams, just when you think you know where it’s going ….
Plus, it’s only 1 MB. Keeping our file sizes manageable — that’s how we roll in The Land of Enchantment.
And here’s a photo from the meeting. Somebody’s surely working on the jam in this picture.
St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy’s March 2009 Jam!
Another great turnout! This is the third month in a row that the St. Paul jam has occupied multiple booths at Cosmic’s! Thanks to all that participated!
And for those that showed up, you witnessed history. The LARPers that once shared the coffee shop with us cartoonists every third Thursday of the month were BANISHED from Cosmic’s! I’d like to say it was a game of chance, or some sort of contest, but it turns out there was some legal issues involved. However, no more vampires! No more makeup! And no more horrible Andrew Dice Clay impersonations! The Cartoonist Conspiracy St. Paul Cell wins!

February 2009 Jam
Otherwise please enjoy our latest jam. It’s titled “Where Have All the Vampires Gone?” Yes, we are rather happy about this development. Be forewarned, the PDF is a whopping 5.7 MB!
If you’d like to participate in the next St. Paul jam, just show up on Thursday, April 16th, 2009 to Cosmic’s Coffee! Bring yourself and bring your friends, by force if you have to! Cartoonists have forced their friends to show up before! What’s stopping you?

St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy’s February 2009 Jam!
Wow! What a great turnout! This is the second time in a row that the St. Paul jam had to occupy multiple booths at Cosmic’s! Kudos to all those that showed up!
Weird instances and lifelong conversation pieces are commonplace at St. Paul jams. For example, as you may or may not know we Cosmic Coffee’s regular group of patrons are a group of LARPers (live action role players – in this case they think they are vampires). Generally they can be annoying, lately they’ve been quiet, but this last time around? They were conducting interviews “in character.” One guy was dressed as a mime, another brought in a bass guitar, and yet another said he was a poet. I had no clue what was going on, but had someone come in to rob the place, I would not have known if it was real or not.
But don’t let the strangeness of the St. Paul jams deter you from coming to the next! It just adds character. If you’d like to participate in the next St. Paul jam, just show up on Thursday, March 19th, 2009 to Cosmic’s Coffee! Bring yourself and bring your friends, by force if you have to! Cartoonists have forced their friends to show up before! What’s stopping you?

With the Minneapolis cell coming back down from their craziness cloud, we too decided to tone down our jam a bit. Yet another topic chosen by Ryan Dow, “How to Tell if Your Neighbor Went Bankrupt!”
