I pitched the idea of a mastodon comic anthology a bit ago.This got a good response. And as an avowed indie DIY type.. that means it's time to make a book! If you'd like to contribute 1-4 pages of comics to me via DM. These can be published elsewhere already as long as you retain rights to do so. You'll retain all rights in any dealings with me. (Creators > Publishers!) 300dpi or better is nice for printing. We'll get everything together with an intro and a nice cover. Provide a PDF to all and distribute via Amazon at print cost. Deadline: 5/1. Any questions? Just ask! #comics#book#mastodon#anthology
