CURIO: Curio Update →
curiozine: It’s been a long time since I wrote anything about Curio’s status. Between people backing out of submitting, and just a general lack of getting the word out The first issue of Curio only received 5 submissions so instead of putting it out by itself I’ve decided to incorporate it into the second… YES I will be bothering all my friends!

“This annual award of $1,000 is given to the highest-ranked undergraduate cartooning student in the Alumni Scholarship Award applicant pool.” This means the next Bug Boys is going to be a ~COLOR SPECIAL~ because the money is going towards printing. If anyone has had good experiences with offset comics printers, please send recommendations my way. I’ll be tabling with some...

Why I Started Making Bug Boys
            I wanted to make a comic that used my intuition and skills as a cartoonist, that I would trust myself and not fight myself and just make something.

Buyin' Comix
If you want to buy a specific permutation of bug boy comics at once, like #2 and #5 or something, please email me your requests at lauraknetz (at) yahoo (dot) com. The specific price for each issue is $3 and $1 for shipping. So to buy two issues is $7, three issues is $10, and so on. Thanks! That’s all my schilling for now.
