Do YOU have something humorous or perceptive to say about Richmond – its quirks, personality, people, places, politics or history?
Would you like to have your creative art work printed in Style Weekly, not just once but twice a month for the rest of the year?
Would you even like to be paid for it (minimally – we’re not owned by Warren Buffet, after all)?
If so, send us your best Richmond-related comic strip by Monday, July 30 to enter Style Weekly’s Comic Strip Sweepstakes.
The winning entry, along with selected runners-up, will be printed in Style’s 2012 Comic Strip Issue on Aug. 8. The winning cartoonist will also have space reserved in Style every other week for the rest of 2012.
Check out the 2011 Comic Strip Issue here.
