The first ever DoDeca-Con took place in Columbia Mo. on May 4th-6th 2012 at Kemper Arena. We had some local creators on two panels, and we recorded the panels in mp3 format for your downloading pleasure:
Keith Chan has videos from the Comics Creation Basics Panel. Here’s part one:
The show got a local story in Vox Magazine and the Tribune covered the con with a front page story on Sunday. The Vox blog also featured a con report after the event. According to the Dodecacon website, con promoter Randy Taylor says that the con was successful and that he’s planning a second Dodeca-Con.

During the 24 hour comic event at Artlandish Gallery we had a couple of Missourian reporters checking in on us throughout the day. They’ve compiled a story about the event on the Missourian neighborhood blog.
The Tribune also mentioned the event as well.
Update: The Missourian reporters have created an audio slideshow from the event.

Midmococo’s 24 Hour Comics Day event was a huge success this year thanks to the hard work of Scott. I don’t think it could have gone any better and the space at Artlandish was perfect. Thanks to everyone who participated and thanks to Artlandish for providing the space.
In case you missed out on the event, you can read about it in the story the Missourian wrote: A drawn-out, comical day.
If you did participate, don’t forget to scan your work and publish it on the Web so we can link to it in a future post.
Update: The Missourian also had a photo gallery from the event. The Tribune also gave us some press before the event too.

24 Hour Comics Day 2008 was a huge success. We had a record turnout of 16 participants and most stayed the entire 24 hours. Thanks to everyone who came and made the event so much fun.
I also want to take a moment to thank our sponsors! Thanks to the Columbia Art League for letting us use their classroom space and thanks to Nick-N-Willy’s Pizza for the cheap food. 24 Hour Comics Day wouldn’t have been possible without their support.
As a follow-up, I’ve linked to all the publicity, comics and photos I could find from the event. I’ve also included Vimeo and YouTube links to some video interviews. I wish I could have gotten everyone interviewed, but I wanted to draw some comics myself! If you’ve got something to add, let me know and I’ll include it too.

The Maneater‘s report on our last meeting came off the presses today and it looks good (even if they didn’t mention www.midmococo.com anywhere). Read it with a bit of caution, though. Accuracy checking didn’t exactly happen with this story. That’s okay, it’s mostly right. If it brings new people to the meetings then it’s worth it!

Once again 24 hour comics day was a success, not only in terms of participation and experience but also in gaining attention from the local media. The Columbia Missourian came by after the event to interview the last creators standing, including Kelly, Keith and Kirsten. You can read the story at the Missourian’s Web site.
We also had television coverage from KOMU for the first time. It was a short segment but it managed to get really good clips of almost everyone who was present at the event. Watch the clip with KOMU on Demand.
I am extra happy with the coverage we received this year as it will hopefully garner more interest in the comic book community that we have here in Columbia. Again, I’d like to thank Boen and Steve at Quinlan Keep for hosting the 24 Hour Comic Event. I was extremely happy with the attendance and level of enthusiasm everyone had. It’s always a pleasure to be in the same room with such talented people, and it always inspires me afterwards to get my butt in gear and get some more work done. I really hope it has done the same for all of you. It seems like we may have some new Midmococo regulars after this event, and that, in my opinion, makes this year’s 24 Hour Comics day the biggest success of all.
Thanks again to everyone who showed up, and I hope to see you all at one of our meetings really soon!

Jim Gibbons, from the Missourian, attended the last Midmococo meeting for a story he was working on about local comic creators. He ended up interviewing Zac, Scott and me and we all contributed a self-portrait as an illustration. He did a great job explaining what we do at Midmococo meetings and why we get together. Go give it a read!
