At that meeting, in addition to the traditional       jam comics, people will be encouraged to create a comic to potentially run       in the City Pages on the subject of &quot;True Tales of the Twin Cities.&quot;       We will collect submissions at the end of the meeting to scan and send       over&hellip; artwork will be returned at the following month&rsquo;s meeting.

You can email me at <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cartoonistconspiracy.com\/images\/webmastermail.gif\">. <\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>They       estimate that they will run 7 or 8 strips if they get enough worthy       material. They have at least five pages to run it on. They did not specify       format, so I believe that is open. Obviously, if you run over multiple       pages, it could reduce the chances of it being run. <\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Don&rsquo;t       use color.<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Sign       your work. Put your contact information on the back. Work given to us without contact       information will not be submitted. <\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Include       your url in the strip if you have a website so people can find more of your       work.
