February jams: lost pencil jams
What a turnout we had at the last Midmococo meeting! So many people, so few pencils. My beautiful, mechanical pencil with the comfy finger padding and extra long eraser managed to go home with someone. I hope if finds its way back to me someday … sigh.
Anyway, enough with the passive aggressive whining. Don’t forget that our March meeting is going to be at the Panera Bread on the South side of town since downtown will be busy with the True/Falase film festival.

November jams: 24 Hour Comics Day thank yous
For the November meeting, Midmococo created some thank you card jams for our generous sponsors for the 24 Hour Comics Day event. Thanks again to the Columbia Art League for letting us use their classroom space and thanks to Nick-N-Willy’s Pizza for the cheap food!

October Jams: Big meeting jams
We had a huge turnout for the October meeting. It was so big we had to split up into two groups. It was cool meeting all the new people and I hope they stick around.
Since everybody was busy socializing and learning about the 24 Hour Comic event, we didn’t get very many jams drawn. The ones we did draw are full of obscure jokes and characters. Have fun looking them up on Wikipedia! Thanks goes to Winter for scanning them in for me.

Alley Oop Pitchers and Pictures event
On September 14th, we gathered a Shakespere’s Pizza for another Pitchers and Pictures event. We were doing caveman themed drawings and jams because of the Alley Oop events this month. We also gave the use of some chip board a try with colors and white out pens. Check out the art below.

August jams: Actors in search of characters
For the August midmococo meeting Andrew K. walked in with a unique jam idea and we all ran with it. We all wrote down some notable “real” people on little papers slips, and we also wrote down some fictional “characters” on some other paper slips. We made separate piles of the slips of paper and we each dug out a slip from each pile. The idea is that we were to draw up “movie posters” of real people playing certain characters. (This line was blurred at several points as you can see.) Look below for what we came up with.

- Dr. Zoidberg as Xena warrior princess
-
- Abraham Lincoln as Charlie Brown
-
- Jon Stewart as Too Much Coffee Man

June jams: Hot meat cylinders
This jam almost didn’t get done because only a few folks showed up to this month’s meeting. Yes, you should be disappointed in yourselves for not coming. Yes, this is a total guilt trip I’m laying on. We had a few new comic enthusiasts show up only to find us a pitiful few. I’m sure they mock us. To make up for it, you must bring 10 new drawings to the next meeting or the hot dog monster will get you.

May jams: Lots more jams
Since I had to cut out of the Last Midmococo meeting a little early and head out of town, I wasn’t able to collect the comic jams. Luckily, Dan collected them all and scanned them for me, so here they are. I promise there’s no slash fiction this time!

Pitchers & Pictures Redux
We churned out some jams last night’s pitchers and pictures event at Gumbys. Jam participants include: Andrew, Fading Aura, Winter, Dan & K. Major. The second to last jam pictured is something that Fading Aura came up with where he and Dan each wrote out phrases for the other one to interpret in pictures as they saw fit. The last jam here is something Dan came up with where he drew a picture of supes and we all had other heroes talk about him.

April jams: More jams than Rick James
The last Midmococo meeting produced an impressive amount of jams, as you can see above. Not only did we do a ton of jams, Kirstin had us also draw superheros on index cards. You can view the whole set on her blog.

March jams: Existential toast
This month’s comic jam can only be described by a haiku:
Existential toast
May you find your radish peace
I weep for you now
