    Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a holiday season filled with peace, love, and comics! 

    Join us an hour early tonight for Writer’s Night at 6:30pm at the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square. If you’d like to review the scripts beforehand, you can download them here. 

    And at 7:30pm, we’ll have the usual meeting in the usual place: the Nelson Mandela Room, the big room at the Democracy Center. 

    Not sure what to get for your favorite third cousin once removed or the office Secret Santa this year? Nothing celebrates the winter holidays like independently published mini comics and original comic art.  Give the perfect gift of handmade images drawn in narrative sequence!  You can find them in cornucopiac abundance this weekend.  This Saturday, December 3, BCR member E. J. Barnes will be at the Somerville Local Artists Market, and now through January 8, 2012, she has several pieces in the annual Small Works Show at Riverside Gallery.  On Sunday, December 4,  BCR will be in two places at once at Comicazi Con/Bad-Ass Bazaar and the Boston Bazaar Bizarre.  Come by and see us! 

    As for recent comics news online, Comics Alliance published this nice post of BCR member Shelli Paroline’s work to highlight her and BCR member Braden Lamb’s selection as the artists for the upcoming Adventure Time comic to be published by Boom Studios’ Kaboom! imprint.  Go, Shelli and Braden!!!
