Could your webcomic be part of WASP 2014?

Earlier this year, twelve artists created some fantastic and unique strips swapping art duties amongst their respective webcomics and working to each others’ scripts.  Now we’re gearing up for Round Two!

Are you a webcomic creator up for taking part?
It’s a fun, creative challenge, a chance to promote your comic and a great way to get to know other folk in the webcomic community.

You may get a chance to draw an episode of one of their webcomics and have one of them handle art duties on yours!

If your’e interested please contact me, Richy K. Chandler (WASP Editor and Lucy the Octopus creator): richy@tempolush.com

Your webcomic probably isn’t right for the project if it is overtly explicit or offensive, contains adults only material or if it uses characters you do not own the rights to.

I’ll be letting artists know if they have been selected for the project at the end of October 2013.  The deadline for finished webcomics will be around the end of February 2014, to go online March 2014.
