21st ANNUAL FLUKE MINI-COMICS FESTIVAL – March 30th, 2024
This year’s FLUKE Mini-Comics Festival, sponsored by Bizarro-Wuxtry,
Inch-High Button Guy, Joker Joker TV, Mystic Punks, and
The Sequential Artists Workshop will take place on Saturday,
March 30th at The 40 Watt Club, 285 West Washington Street,
Athens, GA, from 10:00 AM until 6 PM.
Admission for the public is $2.00 per person.
Masks 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.
EXHIBITOR SPACES for FLUKE 2024 are now sold out.
It is possible that a very small number of additional spaces will be
