Irish comics industry--THE SHIZNIT

Uncle Spunk

Hewwo,
I publish MBLEH! and THE SHIZNIT. The latter is a new free comic available throughout Dublin and I'm looking for contributors and feedback so we know if
we're heading in the right direction.

The Irish Comics scene has really developed over the past 3 years and we want to push it out of just comic shops so the average scrud can get their paws on them, that's why The Shiznit is free and available in 'normal' shops.

All feedback and criticism is welcomed

A free Irish comic? Any way for non-Dubliners to get their hands on it?

Actually, I'll be in Dublin for the day Saturday - what sort of places in town would have it?

Sounds cool btw! I really like Mbleh!

Fysh

So you're the twisted mind who gave us the kid who stores his poo in jars? EXCELLENT!

*doffs imaginary hat*

Where do contributions go? And have you talked to the guys doing Havoc 21? And most important of all, I keep hearing rumours about you doing a full-length graphic novel - how close is it to being finished?

Feedback yeah, but obviously we can't agree with soliciting contributions in terms of cash through this forum.

I'm like Simu - not in dublin, so I can't get a copy to comment unfortunately. Would love to give some feedback though.

If it's free, then is there any way to scan the pages onto a website and post a link through the stickies here so people can see it, or as a seperate topic if people feel they wish to give feedback on this forum?

I got the impression he meant people who would contribute their own work to put in the next issue...

Yeah

Just have to put up these notes. I don't like having to be the guy to do it, but someone has to.

Where can you get this in Dublin?

I think you might have been talking to Paul Duffy about me and him doing something for it at some stage too.

I just picked up a copy of Shiznit today. All in all very good with one or two excellent pieces. Super fun, thanks for putting it out!

Anyone?

I got one a few weeks ago when buying my comics.

They just put a copy into my bag. Great stuff. It was either Forbidden Planet or Sub City...I'm pretty sure its Forbidden Planet as I haven't been to Sub City in a while.

The Shiznit is in "The Eager Beaver" and many other shops around Temple Bar. You'll come across it easy.

I was also thinking that seeming that it is only being distributed around Dublin that you could post some copies of it to different people around the country. Then a lot more people would find out about The Shiznit.
I'd be very happy to spread it around my area.

Hey, I saw the first issue of the Shiznit, thought it was pretty good. Has there been a second yet/when can we expect one? My friend Bill submitted a comic, I think.

Bob has a new website up with links to previews and a frequently updated rants sections...

Information on the Shiznit here...

I'm working on a comic I'd love to have published some day. Hopefully since the scene is growing but certainly not enormous, I'll have a chance.
