Bellingham School of Comics

Who still shows up on Saturdays? It looked like the last anyone said about it was a post from Fenmere in December. Has it changed for anyone?

The reason I ask is because Saturday in the late morning or noon is the only time I can force you to endure my excessive body odor, and without the promise of your horrified faces as motivation, I find I just don’t seem to make time for my comics.

I was under the mistaken impression that the meetings were still supposed to be noon (oops). When I was still going regularly, though, there was only one person there. That’s fine, because I’m sure he was properly horrified by the unholy reek of my unwashed form, but it’s really more effective for me if I can make three or four of you gag and claw at your throats, instead of just one.

Let me (and everyone else) know in the comments what times you Saturday people show up, so I know if there’s any way we can arrange an overlap.

Due to the boiler not functioning at The Black Drop, they are closed for the next few days. Just thought I’d let you all know.

I still cannot make Saturdays, but I understand that other can and have been.

I have recently had several people ask me what time the group meets on Saturdays. The official meeting time is 2pm, but some people have been showing up at noon.

Please comment here (on the B.S. website) with what times you like to show up on Saturdays. Thanks!

Today’s meeting officially happens from 2pm to 5pm. Though, of course, you all can meet at any time today, if at all. But!

It just so happens that the official time for the Down Town Trick-or-Treat event is from 2pm to 5pm.

This would be an opportune time to sit and draw passers-by!

I’m trying to get my stuff together to be down there. Maybe I’ll see you there.

Jonathan, here. I can’t make it to the meeting today as I have the flu.

However, there is a bit of news to take care of. PussInBoots posted about Indy Comic Week, which sounds pretty cool. Also, there is the Jinx arts and crafts fair, where we could have a booth to sell comicky greeting cards and such.

But more immediately, despite our best efforts, a few pieces in the show have fallen down and need to be rehung. And three of the pieces that fell, belonging to one artist, were found to be objectionable by the crew of the Black Drop and Teri has requested that we replace these pieces.

I apologize for not scrutinizing them more closely before hanging and suggesting that different art be submitted. But the Drop is an all ages establishment with a good image that they’d like to uphold, so I do think it best if we accommodate their wishes in this matter.

If you’re curious as to who’s pieces I’m talking about, just ask politely in private conversation.

The Black Drop is storing the fallen artwork in the back room.

Thank you!
