Episode 72 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 2”

Lin WorkmanJan 5, 2025

Show notes: This is part 2 of my 2024 MSCA year end wrap-up review conversation with Mid-South Cartoonists Association president Kevin L. Williams. Kev and I pick up where we left off on “Drawing Funny” Ep. 71 discussing the very busy year our local cartooning group experienced in 2024.

(MSCA “The Funny Pages” art show at Germantown Community Theatre.)

(Memphis Comic Expo and Memphis Monster Con.)

(Memphis Comic & Fantasy Convention/MCFC)

The MSCA and its members were a part of numerous art shows, festivals, conventions, gatherings, and other events in and around Memphis and the mid-south area- plus created new MSCA “The Good, The Bad, And The Sketchy” zine issues and “Drawing Funny” podcast episodes (and a new DF promo spot) for folks to check out.

(MSCA December dinner meeting/Holiday Art Swap at Garibaldi’s Pizza.))

(Corsstown Concourse Annual Record Swap & ZineFest, and Monster Market at the Medicine Factory.)

(Bricks & MiniFigs- Hernando, MS)

(Memphis Comic Expo/MCX aka “DonnieCon”.)

This was probably the busiest the MSCA and its members have been in years, and 2025 doesn’t look like it’s gonna slow down any! (The Rogue’s Gallery “Long Winter’s Knight” at Crosspoint Toys & Games in Millington, TN.)

Our first MSCA Monthly Dinner Gathering will be this Tuesday, January 7th from 6-8pm at Garibaldi’s Pizza off Walker Avenue near the U Of M.

Later this month we’ve also got our first Sat-Art-Day of the year back out at 901 Comics East on Macon Road on January 25th from 10m-2pm.

Be sure to follow the MSCA’s socials and website for where else the cartoonists association and I will be in 2025. I debuted my new table set-up for events, and was able to actually get it all to fit it in my car’s trunk and make one trip to/from each show (a major accomplishment).

I went solo to many shows this year, so thankfully all my con tables were near a restroom, and there was even a defibrillator behind me at one event. And if you know me, then you know I couldn’t have had a better spot to be set up next to..! It was good to have all my health issue bases covered as I got back into doing cons again in 2024.

Hope to see you around the M-town and mid-south this year. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’ve got to go pee…again.

“Stay tooned!”
