Flyer and art by @slimecloud.bsky.social!
Lovely "Curse" flyer by Nanette Cloud, showing an unlucky person getting zapped by lightning and an invitation to make comics for Spokane Sequential. Perhaps making comics could have prevented this tragic fate...

It's next issue prompt time! We'll be aiming for an October release, and the suggested theme is "Curse." (Try not to go overboard on swearing.) Submissions are open through Monday, October 6. Full guidelines and a page template are on our webpage, and we can't wait to hear from you!
A headless horseman-type figure (no horse though) is pushing his pumpkin head around on a dolly. The head looks pretty happy about it.

We're pushing our deadline back for the next issue a tad, so anybody rushing to finish this Friday (or thinking of starting right now!) has all of next weekend to finish up, if they like working on comics on weekends, anyway! (We certainly do!) The new date is Monday, Aug 11, hope to see you then!
A "call for submissions" poster. "Burning the midnight oil to get those wild things out? Have a little extension!" Text is accompanied by a picture of an old man and his floppy cat searching for something by candlelight. A large cow looms ominously behind them.

Our lovely cover by Nadia Hitchcock with colors by Nanette Cloud, depicting a noisy, rainbow-filled bike ride Excerpt from Forest Song by Robin Daehling. A quiet river burbles, and a chickadee sings its song. Excerpt from "What was That" by Walt Carlson. A dog and a woman puzzle out the source of a strange sound at night (the dog is confident it was not a ghost) Excerpt from "Rowdy Ruckus" by Jose Nunez. "SCREEEEEEEEEE!" An old man's peace and quiet is disturbed by the cool band practicing in the apartment upstairs

Wild Submissions are open through Friday Aug 8! Full deets on our webpage! spokanesequential.neocities.org
a disco dancing lion implores you to send us your comics! Admittedly he doesn't look like he's begging, he's dancing and having a good time, but that's the only way he has to keep the demons at bay. His heart is a deep void that only locally-made comics can fill.

They say: "All I can see if the fog of my own breath. But I can still hear your voice. And I can feel myself emerging from the sleep of winter."
