The deadline for the Keene Free Comics TV Turnoff Week Special has been extended to the end of this month - email your submission to colintedford at gmail dot com (previously-drawn items are fine, as long as they fit in).

Also, don’t forget to come see us and other fine cartoonists and zinesters at the Boston Zine Fair this weekend (March 24-5)!

In addition to the above events, 3/19 is the deadline for the Keene Free Comics TV Turnoff Week Edition, and 3/20 is the Pioneer Valley Comic & Cartoon Schmooze - click over to our fancy new Calendar for details on all these things.

In other news, I’d like to remind people we do have a forum - I wandered by it yesterday to find a February post from a Missouri resident who’s assembling a 50-State Jam! Check it out if you’d like to participate (I call NH, though!)

Also, Part Two of the awesome HOURLY COMICS DAY CROSSOVER is up on the Comics page.

If you are hoping to get your comic into the Brattleboro Commons, you need to get them to Jade Harmon (commonscomics at gmail dot com) by March 1 - see the call for submissions for details.

The Brattleboro Commons has justgiven Jade Harmon the green light to seek out and organize local cartoonistsfor a monthly comics page! She’s working on thedetails & “comics guidelines” now, but would like to start gatheringinterest and strip examples/proposals from as many people as soon as possible.

• The paper is still free and very young: thus payment is notguaranteed, but possible. (It will largely depend on Jade’s ability to getus page sponsors; please suggest any comics philanthropists who cometo mind…could it be You? Such an individual will be loudlyproclaimed on the page.)• Space is being decided on, but anticipate to work 8″ x 3″ print size at the least.• Content must be suitable for children, but not necessarily geared tochildren. Gag comics are not necessary. Please see the current issueof the paper and keep our audiencein mind. Nothing too experimental, please.• The paper is produced monthly, so serial strips are discouraged atthis time. Comics can have consistent characters, situations, etc, butshould be able to exist on their own.• Deadline-savvy cartoonists only, please.• Submissions are sent electronically.• Please send interest, comic descriptions, and samples to commonscomics at gmail dot com (ASAP)
