Here it is! This is my 6th comic submission for the Vagabond comic collective! The theme for this quarterly issue was “The Unlucky Issue!" An issue that focused on superstitions and other things associated with bad luck! The idea of a comic about good vibes with a black cats popped right into my head for this theme, since they always get such a bad rep. 

Plus, I just wanted to draw some cats! (Other Requirements: Black and white, 8 page maximum, and follow the theme.) This one’s featured in issue #13, which you can get here! So yeah! Now that it’s hit print, I can finally share it online!

Today was supposed to be Free Comic Book Day, and in honor of that we're making all digital copies on our gumroad free to download through tomorrow! (just use the code "vagabuds") This is a great chance to check out some of our older issues that are out of print.

Also we highly recommend using the day to support your local comics shop. Several around here offer delivery or curbside services, or have ways to support them online (Clevelanders might want to check out Weird Realms, Superscript, or Carol & John’s )

We’ve finally worked our way through all the submissions, and we have to say, we’re pretty excited about this one! We’ll be launching preorders this Saturday, April 4th, just in time for Quaranzine Fest. During this time we will be sharing excerpts from the issue and highlighting some of the contributing artists, so look forward to that!

Also during Quaranzine, 50% of all sales and 20/20 preorders on our storenvy and gumroad will go directly to the contributors of this issue, and this will extend to preorders after Quaranzine through April 22nd when they close. Everything else goes towards the printing of the book.

ALSO also, the good folks of Quaranzine have just introduced some really great virtual talks, demos, and classes taking place on April 5th, check out their page for more details on how to participate.

Lastly huge huge thanks to @milistjohn for the gorgeous cover and endpaper art! Be sure to check out the rest of her work!

Thanks all for being so patient. We’re pleased to announce that submissions are finally open for our twelfth issue, “20/20”!

Reflecting on the coming of the new decade, we know that a lot of things might be looking pretty bleak and more than a little scary. But we think this is also a chance to turn over a new leaf, and that there can be a lot to be excited about too.

And with that, we have a mission for you. We’d like to invite you to try on our brand new Rose-Tinted Crystal Ball Goggles (patent pending), and use your crystal clear vision into the future to tell us what you see. We want your comics about the hopeful future you find there, whether it’s a fictional escape to a distant grand utopia, or an autobiographical account of something small you want to try to do to make your small patch of garden a little better. Or anything in between! As long as you’re looking ahead, with chin held high.

Requirements: - Black & White / Grayscale images, 300 dpi - 8 pages or less - Dimensions: 6.625" x 10.25", (add .125″ on each side for full bleed) - This is an all ages anthology, please keep content at a PG-13 level

Please pay close attention to the above requirements, any submissions that do not adhere to these may not be accepted.

It is not required, but we welcome and even encourage those interested in submitting to send us sketches, work-in-progress shots, or a brief synopsis of your story before moving forward with completing your comic.

Please send final submissions in the form of jpg’s, png’s, or pdf’s along with the title of your comic and your name to [email protected] no later than Monday March 15th.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns!
