Ok, if you want to comics for the Herald, here's our submissions policy and some information. Obey.REQUIREMENTS:
First look me up and email: your title (does it change?), how you want your name to appear, and your CELL NUMBER. Stop by Comics Club (Thurs 8.30 @ LC) to make life easier. NO COMMITMENT; submit whenevs.
DEADLINES
Any Thursday night to be published that week's Friday. Text/call me in a pinch.
DIMENSIONS (please do NOT submit anything bigger than):
Strips (left page) : 9 5/8 x 3 in
BigBox (right): 6.75 x 4.75 in
--------STRIPS--------
FOUR PANELS are crucial for comic strips since we need the flexibility to place them on either page at four in the morning when all heck is breaking loose. You can also do TWO PANELS if they are both HALF the entire length. You can slightly fudge with the height a little, but do not mess with the length, please.
--------BigBox--------
Try to fill up as much of the panel space as possible. Don't get any bigger in height/length than 6.75 x 4.75 in and try not to get any smaller than 4 5/8 x 5 3/4 in.
WARNING: Color or b/w's fine, but the Herald's printers tend to blur color!
EDITORIAL POLICY:
If there're > 4 comics in a given week, I pick which get stockpiled and which get printed.
FINAL THOUGHT:Please have either beautiful or funny comics, preferably both! Just bring your A-game!
...Seriously. Let's own.
Have a beautiful AND funny day,
Reuxben
PS. Comics Club's a great training ground and sounding
board. See what works, what doesn't, and then submit when you're ready.
