Stripburger, the Eastern European comics collective (published here in the U.S. by Top Shelf), is looking for female artists and cartoonists from around the world to contribute to their 46th issue. The issue will come out in October and will coincide with the 13th City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia.:
The premise and programme of the 13th City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts is based on the subject of ‘humour’. It is not our intention to merely ‘map’ humour by type (socially-engaged, black, national, self-ironic, fantasy, gender-specific, etc.), but to relate it to its actual social and political functions. Both, humour and art, permit the ‘impermissible’ to be portrayed and stated. Both represent the indispensable communication code for subjects which are potentially controversial or ticklish, while at the same time – by way of the humorous and light-hearted – the apparently inevitable status quo is maintained.Let’s laugh even if something is not funny, and others don’t laugh. We should ask, seek and find humour and art – although it may seem that all that’s left are masters and servants, secretaries and directors, ours and theirs, loyalty point collectors, sharp air refreshers, wars for peace and virtual money. If they give meaning to our laughter, we should carry on laughing. Let’s laugh at the meaning of our own laughter.
Deadline is Aug. 10.

See, what I don’t get is that in between the blog posts about snorting coke off of people’s chests and the Wonder Woman crotch-scissors, you actually deleted that post.
Made in an article where a place called “STRIP”burger is recruiting women.
Seriously.
