L.A. Weekly Comix Issue: The Future Is Now
The Future Is Now: Our December 27 Comix Issue
Are you a cartoonist? Help us say good riddance to 2012 by drawing up your take on the future. The best strips will appear in the L.A. Weekly's annual Comix Issue on Dec. 27, earning a cash prize in the process.
Submissions should be created as true sequential art -- a full story unto themselves. Be creative! Although we have size restrictions, there are no restrictions on the number of panels or way they must be arranged. We hope you'll have fun with it.
Submit your entry with your true full name, the name you wish to be credited in print, and your website, if applicable, to pitches@laweekly.com. Use "Comix Issue" in the subject line so we don't miss your entry.
Entries must be received by Nov. 30 to be considered.
