    • Introducing: the LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST

    Uncategorized

    Getting the jump on the LUTEFISK SUSHI E gun by a good 14 months, DANNO KLONOWSKI has started the LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST–An audio sampling of MN cartoonists!  Each episode will feature an interview with a different MN creator, starting with BUD BURGY on episode 1.  The hope is to talk to any and all MN cartoonists previously associated with the Lutefisk Sushi projects, as well as meet and talk with creators who have yet to participate.  Basically, the LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST is here to promote the creators of the rich and diverse MN cartooning scene.  Hope you love it…and hope to talk with you on it soon!

    RIP Dylan Williams

    Good Causes

    Sparkplug Comics publisher and cartoonist Dylan Williams recently passed away from cancer at the age of 41. There are tributes to him at a number of places around the web… Zak Sally’s is particularly moving. I did not know Mr. Williams, but I’ve had the good fortune to appreciate a number of the comics he published, and he certainly leaves behind quite an impressive and passionate legacy. A benefit to help with his hospital expenses was started before he died… and his family obviously still needs help with this. Please consider helping by donating artwork to an ongoing benefit auction or buying Sparkplug books.
