St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy December Jam Comic

Jam Comics, St. Paul

The last St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy jam comic for 2007 was finished nearly three weeks ago.

Turns out that traveling during the holidays takes a lot out of a person and their desire to do anything. Thus, three weeks later, you are presented with “Krampus Returns.”

The St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy meets every third Thursday of the month at Cosmic’s Coffee Shoppe, which is located at the northwest corner of Snelling Ave. and Selby Ave.

Meanwhile, our crosstown rivals, the Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy meet every first Thursday of the month (TOMORROW!) at Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe from 6 – 10 PM. See the following post for more details.

The Super Secret Last Jam of the Year in San Francisco CA

The fine folks of the Cartoonist Conspiracy San Francisco met one last tine this last Thursday to Comic Jam a bit before the new year arrives. The Jam was last minuet and not publicized due to the busy week we (I) was having…so sorry to anyone in our group who missed it.

The Jam was low key and fun and we have photos (on Flickr) to prove it. These were taken by my friend Adam Abrams who is visiting from Vancouver Canada. Enjoy.

jam, Jam Comics, San+Francisco

Note: the “Graphic Novel” art show which had it’s opening on Saturday (dec. 8th) was supposed to be up until jan. 4th, but a few “things” came up and the show had to be taken down. not that big of a deal, we had an awesome opening and were welcomed warmly by the people of frog hall. so for any of you out there who were planning on heading over to see the work, sorry you’ll have to wait until we are able to get the work up in another location…possibly some time after the new year. also i will be posting pictures of opening night on here as well as my myspace pages. thanks again to the staff of frog hall for having us and to everyone who came out to support us and the SF cartoonist conspiracy group.
