Webcomic Secret Summer 2008
Sun 11 May 2008 - 16:26

Creators of comics, may I have your attention? The Webcomic Secret Summer is now accepting participants!

"What is the Webcomic Secret Summer?" you may ask. A Secret Santa is a type of exchange in which each participant gets one randomly assigned recipient and the gift-giver's identity remains secret until an assigned time when s/he presents the gift to the recipient. The Webcomic Secret Santa is an exchange of webcomic gifts using the same concept. Creators submit their comics to a list, and on a specific day, a random comic (not their own) is sent to them. That artist must then produce a guest comic or a piece of fan art for the assigned comic. Not wanting to wait until December for a Webcomic Secret Santa, I decided to run the exact same idea in the summer, hence the Webcomic Secret Summer!

There are some rules, of course, intended to make this as fun and straight-forward an activity as possible. For the timeline, sign-up rules, and other information, please visit the Webcomic Secret Summer site. Also, please pass the word, since the more, the merrier!

One thousand years before the cartoon character Mickey Mouse was even a glint in Walt Disney's eye, a French artist created a bronze brooch that looks remarkably like the famous rodent, according to archaeologists at Sweden's Lund Historical Museum, which houses the recent find.
