Brattleboro Commons Assembling Local Comics Page

The Brattleboro Commons has just
given Jade Harmon the green light to seek out and organize local cartoonists
for a monthly comics page! She's working on the
details & "comics guidelines" now, but would like to start gathering
interest and strip examples/proposals from as many people as soon as possible.

• The paper is still free and very young: thus payment is not
guaranteed, but possible. (It will largely depend on Jade's ability to get
us page sponsors; please suggest any comics philanthropists who come
to mind...could it be You? Such an individual will be loudly
proclaimed 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 to
children. Gag comics are not necessary. Please see the current issue
of the paper and keep our audience
in mind. Nothing too experimental, please.
• The paper is produced monthly, so serial strips are discouraged at
this time. Comics can have consistent characters, situations, etc, but
should 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)
