Come check out our work, support us in our challenge, and browse through the really cool stuff in the store and maybe buy a couple things. Remember this event cost Merlyn's about $200 to put on every year.


Here are some useful bits of info to help you prep for the challenge:

Bring your favorite pencils, paper, rulers, etc, etc. Any thing that you normally need to make your comics.


Reference materials to ward of periods of lull time.


Water and snack.


Cash to purchase group pizza.


Creature comforts: Like a pillow to rest your head on for a short nap, or maybe to sit on. Sitting on your butt for almost 24 hours strait can leave any one a little tender down there. Also remember, it's October and this is a large building, so yes it might cool off a little bit during the night, so bring a sweatshirt.


Bring a coffee cup. There will be one small coffee pot working. So if you like coffee there will be some. If you need cream and sugar, you need to bring some.


Ride home. Plan to have someone pick you up! After hours of serious creativity, exhaustion does creep in and your responses will not be sharp.

Thanks Levi

No problems. Thanks to everyone that participated. I wish I could have stayed till the end, but I had a cold that came at a bad time.

BUT a big thanks to Levi for organizing again. And a big thanks to Rachel for keeping everything interesting and peppy when the rest of us were crashing.

We will do it again next year!!

AND lets try to do a monthly get together for art and comic talking/doing. It could be some wednesday or thursday evening, or some saturday or sunday afternoon once a month. What do you guys think?

John at Merlyn's

Hey everybody,
I, too, wanted to thank everyone who came down for the big 24 event.
For those of you who participated in drawing a character profile, thanks again. Come down to merlyn's to pick up your original art, as well as, copies of everyone's work. Mike knows where I stashed them so try to come down Tues-Sat.

See you all next year. Bring a friend and receive an incentive bonus. (to be named Later.)

We'll try to get organized to have an event/meet-up in november. Sunday, November 23 is looking good. No meters to pay. There will be some good shopping sales downtown, so if the meet-up lasts 3-4 hours or so spousal equivalents can have fun too. I'll start a topic for comments about that.

Good drawing, Rachel.

For those of you who were wondering, ThanksGiving is on the 27th this year.
