Art-monkeys: do you like comicsbooks? Do you like drawing comicbooks? Do you like drawing hot burlesque dancers wearing costumes inspired by comicbooks? Then run over to World Cafe Live and buy your tickets for our June session where Lulu Lollipop and Key from the Peek-a-Boo Revue will show us their tribute to comics. Peek-a-Boo knows comics are more than just the regular cast of characters, too. Last summer they did a hot tribute to Watchmen that you can see on Youtube. This session takes place during the same weekend as Wizard World East. Bring your ticket stub from that convention and you could win a prize. In addition to that, our prizes for our regular, non-tradition art contest include a gift certificate to comicbook store Brave New Worlds, a book on pop culture superheroes from Baby Tattoo books, and a supercool t-shirt from our sponsors Jinxed/Toothless cat. Go get your ticket! Here's our flier drawn and designed by Steve Cleff that you'll be able to see in real life 2-d thanks to our sponsor Fireball Printing.
