When I’m not reading comics, I’m making comics. When I’m not making comics, I’m teaching comics. And my students are starting to get some attention for their work!

Ben Costa wins a Xeric.
Bex Freund lands her work in a literary magazine.
And KOAK takes her character sketches to a whole new level.

With heavy hearts, we bid adieu to one of our own. Writers Old Fashioned founding member, Mindy Owens, is leaving the Bay and heading east. Whether she was galvanizing the Runaway’s fan-base or serving as San Francisco’s Queen of Comics, Mindy did her duty to make the comics world and ours a better place.

 Now, she’s off to conquer Japan (Kishiwada, specifically.) Everyone here at Writers Old Fashioned wishes her the best of luck and we’ll raise a glass to her at our next meeting. Most of all, we can’t wait for her to start penning some Manga and seeing it published here in the states! 

Cheers!

USA Today’s pop culture journalist, Whitney Matheson, recently set out to invent a new comic book genre: Twitter Comics. Enlisting the help of artists from across the industry, she just launched a flash website showcasing the results. 

 Mine’s the one with John Candy spooning Kermit the Frog. Enjoy!
