19th ANNUAL FLUKE MINI-COMICS FESTIVAL – March 26th, 2022
This year’s FLUKE Mini-Comics Festival, sponsored by Bizarro Wuxtry, Inch-High Button Guy, and The Sequential Artists Workshop will take place on Saturday, March 26th at The 40 Watt Club, 285 West Washington Street, Athens GA from 11:00 AM until 6 PM.
Admission for the public is $2.00 per person.
Masks and proof of vaccination will be REQUIRED for all exhibitors and attendees.
FLUKE’S STATEMENT OF PURPOSE / MISSION
FLUKE is a mini-comic festival that has been organized by Athens-area comic artists, underground publishers, and their enthusiasts since 2002. That’s a really long time. Conceived as a venue for the discussion and exchange of timely ideas related to mini-comics, ‘zines, and other independent publications, FLUKE is not a large comic convention or advertising-saturated extravaganza. This isn't to say we don't like our share of stuff—'cause we do. However, we have kept the organization of the event as simple as possible to ensure that it remains focused on work and ideas rather than merchandising.
FLUKE is an enjoyable, affordable event for people of all ages and interests: Flagpole writer Hillary Brown remarks:
"Part of the delight of FLUKE is encountering new folks and browsing through undiscovered material. There’s stuff for kids, stuff for grown-ups, stuff for people who like serious autobiographical narratives, and stuff for people who’d rather read a mini-comic about mice shaped like a wedge of cheese."
EVENT SPECS
Exhibitors register in advance for exhibition spaces at FLUKE. FLUKE 2022 is now sold out. It is possible that a very small number of additional spaces will be made available. Those wishing to obtain one of these potential spaces should watch for announcements on FLUKE’s website and social media.
