The Copacetic Comics Company will be joining building mates Mind Cure Records and Lili Coffee Shop in celebrating our first anniversary at 3138 Dobson Street on Saturday and Sunday, June 18 & 19, 2011.  Mark it on your calendar now and be sure to join us for door buster bargains, promotional premiums, deals galore and more! 

Indy comics legend, John Porcellino, the self-publishing pioneer of DIY comics, will be visiting Pittsburgh for the first time!  Please join us on Wednesday, March 23, 2011.  John P. will start things off with a personal presentation downstairs at the Lili Coffee Shop at 7:00pm, and then we'll all roll upstairs for some Copacetic congeniality with the one and only Mr. Porcellino.  Signing, sketching (?), conversation and who knows what else...

Trying to figure out what to do this summer?  Then consider this:  The Center for Cartoon Studies offers a variety of summer comics making and cartooning workshops that anyone looking to hone, fine-tune, extend, expand, or otherwise improve their comics and cartoon skills in the company of like minded individuals in scenic (and, in July and August, cool) Vermont should check out their offerings:  http://www.cartoonstudies.org/index.php/programs/summer-workshops/

Who knows, you might get inspired to take it to the next level, to realize that a career in comics and cartooning is an actual option in life and consider taking the plunge and applying for the full two-year CCS program.  Life is short:  to cartoon or not to cartoon, that is, if not the question, at least a question well worth pondering, and there's no better place to do so than the Center for Cartoon Studies:  http://www.cartoonstudies.org/index.php/admissions/
