Also big shout out to The Travelling Sign Painters who created the sign!! Hand painted! HIRE ARTISTS!

Have you seen our new sign on the sidewalk outside 70 Arthur St.?? TY to all the folks who have popped into the studio so far (it's been busy due to Fringe) to visit, learn about PCF, and also BUY BOOKS (from deranged AD @smbeiko.bsky.social)! All proceeds go into running the Fest & paying artists.

Today we are in Brandon, Manitoba for our first ever BRANZINE FEST at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba!!! We are so excited to be here in this incredible community in Westman championing indie comics & artists 🙌 Artist market and panels until 5pm.

We've just backed JOURNEY INTO THE ABYSS from @stupidmatt.bsky.social & PCF longtime alum/poster master Merissa Mayhew! We'll have copies at the PCF studio you can grab, yahoo! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

We've been cookin' up something cool for the summer with the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba in Brandon!! Merissa Mayhew knocked it out of the park with the poster for BRANZINE FEST, coming July 5 to Westman with comics, zines, graphic novels, and more indie coolness! More deets soon~

Our monthly board meeting last night at the studio was truly invigorating and energizing, esp in light of this espresso-depresso turn to AI. Art is our way out of this—cartoons & comics & community 4ever~

Comic Coven TONIGHT at our studio, 6-8pm, 611-70 Arthur St.! Join our weekly open studio to work on your current art WIP in a safe, welcoming, inclusive space with tea and cool vibes!!

You can also help us by nabbing merch, but just FYI we are down to our last 10 copies of last year's Zine anthology, and running low on t-shirts & totes! New designs will premier at the 2025 fest <3

Thanks to everyone who visited us at the WPG Punk Rock Flea! It's so special to be in the indie community. We raised crucial funds to pay program facilitators, keep programs free, run the main Fest & continue celebrating indie cartoonists & comics in WPG. Missed us? prairiecomics.com/donate :)

We are at the WPG Punk Rock Flea Market all weekend at the Victoria Inn! Come say hi and support our artist run NPO with cool books and merch!
