Fodongo turns 2

Today this zine turns 2 years old.

Fodongo exists first and foremost thanks to its contributors, wonderful artists who have trusted the project and trusted me with their work, and agreed to be a part of this. I appreciate you all immensely, and I hope we can continue collaborating for a long time!

The zine is also incredibly fortunate to have a number of financial supporters through OpenCollective, Ko-Fi and Patreon, people who like the project, like Free-Culture and to support independent artists. Thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting this endeavour -- especially at this point in time, your attention, interest and care for this project and the artists who make it possible is extremely valuable. I'll say it again: Thank you for believing in this. In us.

We want to make more comics for you! We are nearing the end of the Second Batch of zines: next issue is #20, which is scheduled to come out next week (maybe Monday, maybe Wednesday, we'll see!), and after that only four more issues separate us from the fabled Third Batch.

In the meantime, we have an excellent way of celebrating this second anniversary:

The La Rana Bonanza

Click the link above to go to a detailed description of the event, but in short it is a CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS to create a La Rana eZine. It will be fun, and we hope you participate with either a comic or an illustration! Go! Check out the guidelines!

Fodongo is a labour of love. It is a reader supported publication, and an attempt at supporting the artists that make our comics. It is also an attempt at creating a commons of comics. Things for everyone to use, learn from, derive from, remix, etc. So far I think we are succeeding: to this day there's 19 issues, 77 comics: that is, over 260 pages of Free-Culture comics. We want to make more and we need you. If you like the project, please share it with anyone and everyone you know, and if you are able and want to, please donate to one of the sites above. You are much appreciated.

Thanks, as always, for reading this, for participating in the Bonanza, and for supporting indie artists and Free-Culture. Solidarity,

~Jectoons.
