TWIG #2 (now with lutefisk!)
The second issue of the Trees & Hills Comics Group‘s free monthly comics flyer TWIG is online now, leaving you enough time to not only read it, but download the PDF, print, copy & distribute it to your local comic shop & other places by Free Comic Book Day!
Perhaps of special interest to Minnesota conspirators & sushi-makers, this issue contains a strip involving lutefisk.
