Read
the following FAQs and send your submission today.
You will eventually receive a personal response, but
please be patient. A lot of people have been sending
us material.
HOW
MANY COMICS SHOULD I SUBMIT?
We prefer four to six weeks of samples of a proposed
feature so that we can judge the quality and consistency
of your work. As long as the material is clear and
easy to read, it may be submitted in any form. You
may e-mail a URL for our editors to visit online,
or you may send copies by snailmail. Do not send originals.
Please keep your submission compact.
WHAT
SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH MY SUBMISSION?
Along with the samples, please include a letter or
e-mail explaining the purpose and scope of your feature.
For snailmail submissions, put your return address
on both the letter and the submitted material. Be
sure to include a stamped, self-addressed business-size
envelope for our response -- or if you wish to have
the sample material returned, include appropriate
packaging with adequate postage.
WHAT
FORMATS SHOULD I SEND?
Usually, comic strips and panels are drawn at twice
the size that appears in your local newspaper. Any
size is acceptable as long as it can be reduced proportionately.
For hardcopy submissions, strips should be reducible
to 13 by 38.4 picas; panels to 24 by 19 picas. Digital
copies of comics should be GIFs, TIFFs or JPEGs. Animations
and games should be in Macromedia Flash, Macromedia
Shockwave or Java. Text should be in ASCII, Word or
comparable formats.
HOW
LONG SHOULD MY TEXT COLUMN BE?
We generally look for text features that are between
650 and 700 words.
HOW
MANY TEXT COLUMNS SHOULD I SUBMIT?
We prefer to see six to ten samples of your proposed
feature so that we can judge the quality and consistency
of your work. Please submit only copies, and make
sure the material is clear and easy to read. Only
one copy of each column needs to be submitted.
WHAT
ABOUT GAMES?
We are always on the lookout for fun and addictive
online games. You may e-mail a URL for our editors
to visit online, or you may send CD-ROM copies by
snailmail. Please keep your submission compact.
