Short Run 2013 was a success! Had fun, sold a lot of comics, gave away some bags, ate some bake sale goods. Then danced!
Looking forward to next year.

High-Low: Thirty Days of CCS #20: Beth Hetland, Colleen Frakes
Rob Clough has spent his November thoughtfully reviewing the works of multiple Center for Cartoon Studies students and alumni every day. You should read all of them.
Also, Beth Hetland and I are review buddies! That makes me happy.
Needless to say, I was VERY EXCITED to see Paul McGann return as the 8th Doctor for “The Night of the Doctor”!!!

Sneak preview of one of my Short Run 2013 debuts!
Photo stolen from Amber Nelson/Alice Blue- “And here is a rough photo introduction to the entirety of shotgun wedding vol 2, which will release at Short Run 2013 on November 30th. With a comic by Colleen Frakes; poems by Joseph Mains, Tyler Brewington, and Ellen Welcker; and fictions by Corinne Manning and Amanda Bennett!”
The exhibitor map for Short Run 2013 is up! I’ll be at table B7 with Amber Nelson of Alice Blue Review!
I’ll have a new comic out as part of Alice Blue’s second Shotgun Wedding series, a self-published Werewolf mini comic, and maybe some poems about donuts.
Come check it out, Nov 30th at Washington Hall!
The Woman Who Played With Fire by Melissa Smith Narratively - Narratively: Local stories, boldly told.
Hey! I illustrated this article for Narrative.ly for the week of Veteran’s Day!
Many of you already may know about the MUSTER-LIST, the list of cartoonists and comics retailers that Chuck Forsman’s been putting together for a while now. Maybe you don’t. Either way, I’d like to bring it onto your radar/back on your radar.
The mission of the muster list is to direct readers to mini-comics - Link directly to buy pages when possible - Generate some sales - Pretty simple.
If you’re looking for places that might want to stock your comics in the United States, give the MUSTER-LIST a look through and contact some shops.
If you’re interested in exploring new avenues in cartooning, take a little stumble through the list of makers. You’ll likely find out about someone neat that you might not have known about before.
Either way, don’t forget, the Muster-List is there when you need it.
