ComicsDC's reason to exist

I've created a this blog and a new Yahoo group to keep track of all of the comics activities in DC since there's so many happening now. ComicsDC is for: Events relating to cartoons and comics including comic books, comic strips, political cartoons, animation and carticature in Washington, DC and its environs.

You can email http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ComicsDC/post?postID=qxB4e-K8MDOJQjbWt6l-MphxZEMz3i4pM6g4vC1uKQ2wg9RRoaLYuYHCfdqpWuTU9G5hRs2owl9syu6xGLDhqlbPDEPojBosFgTMkQ or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ComicsDC/ to sign up for the group if you prefer emails to reading a blog.
