Pictured above is the cover to the first Soapy the Chicken mini-comic… I printed up around 230 of them, and the front cover and inside covers are all screen printed by hand. <\/p>\n
150 of them went into boxes tonight for Lutefisk Sushi Volume B<\/a>, which is premiering this Friday in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n PRESS RELEASE: ***Go to cartoonistconspiracy.com\/sushi for more information***<\/p>\n Charles Schulz is dead, leaving many Minnesotans to believe their cartoon heritage lives on in lawyers squabbling over the rights to Camp Snoopy and hideously-painted giant-sized character figurines. <\/p>\n Chin up Minnesota! Our state’s cartoonists labor on, without litigation! Without theme parks! Without money! Without dignity! Without pants! This is the cartoonist’s way.<\/p>\n The International Cartoonist Conspiracy<\/a> celebrates over 40 Minnesota cartoonists in a unique gallery show sequel entitled Lutefisk Sushi Vol B at Creative Electric Studios<\/a>. The original Lutefisk Sushi Vol A show helped earn Creative Electric the City Pages’ Best Art Gallery of 2005, and Vol B promises to be even better. The box is bigger, for one thing.<\/p>\n Each cartoonist will create a mini-comic of their work that will be collated into a limited edition hand-serigraphed bentobox-set sampler designed by political gadfly cartoonist Ken Avidor.<\/p>\n The box will debut at the gallery opening March 24th, at 7pm. The boxes will probably sell out fast, so get there early if you want one.<\/p>\n In addition, there will be walls full of original art, books, prints, and novelties by the artists- and a special side show:<\/p>\n THE WEINER ROAST<\/strong><\/p>\n KEN AVIDOR<\/a>, transit-obsessed, sensitive, tree-hugging environmentalist, political agitator and bicycle enthusiast is also KEN WEINER, former Screw art editor, party machine, devil may care ne’er-do-well and alcohol enthusiast. <\/p>\n The Weiner Roast will feature a wide variety of work from Avidor\/Weiner’s career and an exclusive 52 page comic honoring\/roasting his work by 18 cartoonists from around the country including Pete Bagge<\/a>, Dirty Danny Hellman<\/a>, Mark Martin<\/a>, and Big Time Attic<\/a>. <\/p>\n Lutefisk Sushi Volume B is a collaborative project of The International Cartoonist Conspiracy<\/a>, Big Time Attic<\/a> and Creative Electric Studios<\/a>.<\/p>\n Creative Electric Studios Please help spread the word about this excellent show!
