Sorry there hasn’t been a 7000 BC jam comic for a while — we were all safely hiding in our undisclosed location. But now our tale can be told: Meanwhile, In The Bunker.
Scenes form the August meeting/workshop, where this jam was (mostly) created are at the Flickr stream.
The St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Cell celebrated this July with its largest turn out EVER! Thanks to everyone for showing up and having a great time! This month’s offering is entitled: Futuristic Antiques Roadshow and No Dumb Babies!

Join the St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Cell and create a jam comic! It’s easy and fun! Just bring some drawing utensils, an idea for the jam, and a few bucks to get a tasty beverage — the baristas really do appreciate that.
The jam will start promptly at 6:30 and run until…whenever.
The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner rather than later.
To join us come to:
Cosmic’s Coffee Shoppe
189 Snelling Ave N.
St. Paul, MN 55104
(Northwest corner of Snelling and Selby)
More not than often we head on over to grab a brew at:
O’Gara’s Bar and Grill
164 Snelling Ave N
St. Paul, MN 55104
(Southeast corner of Snelling and Selby)
Hope to see you there!
Just a few weeks late posting this one. Much thanks goes out to Kevin Cannon for making me look like a lazy tool for not getting this up sooner. Anyhow, enjoy the St. Paul cell’s offering: Robocop vs. Bears vs. China vs. GM: The Battle for Detroit (Rock City!)

Yep, it’s a twofer this month. Can you stand it? I think you can stand it:
Irish Double Date Star Trek, or Lupi Gets Punched in the Face by a Republican
Click image for pdf — an insurmountable 3.9 mb!
AND…
Internet Sensations
Click image for pdf — a disreputable 2.5 mb!

    In addition to a shorter jam this month, we will also be taking part in the http://coveredblog.blogspot.com/ project where an artist does a recreation of a comic cover. ANY comic cover, not just the “classics” like AMAZING FANTASY #15 or something.
      The guidelines are pretty simple to follow if you want to submit your cover to be posted on the Covered blog (http://www.robertgoodin.com/submission.html).
     Bring one(or more) of your favorite covers to redo, or to share with the group (yes, everyone gets their comics back). Other comics will be there to parooze as well if you forget to bring one. 11×17 paper will also be provided, but feel free to bring any kind of drawing surface you prefer.
The Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy meets at 6:30 until 10:00 the first Thursday of every month at Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe in Northeast.
Generally, we draw collaborative “jam†comics, socialize and drink caffeinated beverages. Afterwords, we often have uncaffeinated beverages somewhere else.
The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner or later (and sometimes even printed).
Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe
1618 Central Avenue Northeast
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Please spend some money at Diamond’s while you’re there, even if it is just a cuppa coffee… they are excellent hosts, and we wanna stay welcome there.
Big Time Attic hosts our monthly jam meetings at Diamond’s… they will be supplying us with a big old plate of pastries or something. Thanks fellas!
I failed to scan in last month’s St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Jam in a timely manner, so you will get double your pleasure this month! Beware that each jam is a PDF that weighs in at a respectable 4 MB. The theme for the April 2009 jam was “The Fury of Facebook and Lost in the Wilderness.” May’s jam is entitled “Wolverine On Ice and Off Broadway Batman: The Superheroes Take to the Stage.”
Enjoy!
This month we are not beholden to a particular theme since the Altered Esthetics theme of the month is RESIDENT ARTISTS.Â
So, basically we have to do the best work we can.Â
Or we can use the ultra-classy idea Kriske came up for when describing the cosplayers at the recent Microcon:  “UNDERGROUND F**K SOCIETY OF SUPER NERDS”

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.
