A big thank you to everyone who bought stuff at London MCM Comic Con! Sarah and I had fun behind the table chatting to people who came by and inventing our own gang name and secret hand shake. 

We are hoping to exhibit at the event again in October - but no promises since there’s a lot of competition for table space!

My next event without Sarah will be Manchester MCM Comic Con, you’ll be able to find me in the Comic Village - for a detailed and up to date list of events see the sidebar of my portfolio blog.

If you can’t get to these events we also have Etsy shops:

Thanks again!

Thank you to everyone who came by our table at True Believers Comic Festival last Saturday! It was really great chatting to friends throughout the day. Our table was under the shadow of the balcony and it made us feel a bit sleepy - hahaa!

The soot sprites were given to us by our table neighbor Collette J Ellis - Thank you! they are super cute! 

Our next table will be at London MCM Comic Con in May - See you there!

2015

Hi, just to let you know that Sarah is dropping out of some comics events this year to focus on illustration portfolio work. I'm still planning to go to quite a few events on my own or with other friends.  

So far this year I can confirm I will be sharing with Sarah at:

True Believers Comic Festival - 7th February 2015

London MCM Comic Con - 22nd-24th May 2015

Fingers crossed for more events confirmed later in the year (it's becoming pretty competitive to get table spaces as years go on) 

For a list of my confirmed events please vist sammyborras and check the sidebar 

Thanks, see you there! 

Sammy

Thank you very much to everyone we saw at Thought Bubble over the weekend! I had a really good time and I’m excited about making new comics!

sarahfogg and I made a comic on the way home about something funny which actually happened on Sunday. :’)

I have a table this weekend at Birmingham MCM Comic Con. Sarah wont be there this time - but I will have some copies of the latest issue of What’s The Time Mrs. Woolf? You’ll be able to find table A8 in the Comic Village - there should be a map in the show guide. I will have FREE MINI COMICS to hand out - the secret password is ‘Do you have a business card?’

If you can’t get to events you can order most of the items on the table from on Sarah’s Etsy Shop or my Etsy Shop.

Thank you very much to everyone who came by our table in the Clock Tower at LICAF. Sarah and I had a really fantastic weekend there. Sarah was working on her Inktober drawing behind the table. You should have a look at the 24hr comic challenge blog if you haven't seen it yet.  We'll be sharing a full table at London MCM Comic Con this weekend. We'll be there Friday-Sunday and you'll be able to find our table in the Comics Village section of the event. (There should be a map in the show guide and ceiling banners to help out). Sarah will be taking along the extra anime stickers and hand sewn mini note books. We'll have FREE MINI COMICS to hand out - if we miss handing one to you the secret password is 'Do you have a business card?'

This Is Not A Serious Music Publication Autumn 2014 is now printed and ready to launch along with the latest issue of whatsthetimemrswoolf at Bristol Comic & Zine Fair this Saturday! I’ll be sharing a half table with sarahfogg and we will be bringing FREE MINI COMICS & ZINES to hand out to anyone interested. :) See you there!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/sammyborras £3 Shipping: £1.50 International Shipping: £7 Articles, illustrations and comics featuring Baby Metal, Damon Albarn, Gorillaz, Pixies, Bat For Lashes, Franz Ferdinand, Courtney Barnett, Honeyblood, Glass Animals, Dizraeli, Animal Collective, Roadidendren, Haim, We Are Scientists, Cecile Corbel, Adventure Time and Regular Show. "It probably seems silly to be printing a music zine at a time when music blogs are becoming a popular alternative. You can listen to the music at the same time as reading the articles and news updates are instant. We realised we don’t have the time to keep up with it all, so last year, instead of trying, we decided to create a music zine together, where we could write about the music that makes us happy! We had so much fun making the first one that we decided to make more whenever we have enough material to fill a new issue. We’ve filled this issue with music themed comics, gig sketches, articles and illustrations. We hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!"

Thank you very much to everyone at the Bristol Comic and Zine Fair yesterday! We had fun behind the table drawing glittery make up on some of my Free Mini Comics. Sarah found a happy duck beak mutant Hula Hoop and brought along some truffles which matched the gold brush pen.

The next event on our comics tour will be The Lakes International Comic Arts Festival (LICAF). We have a half table in the Comics Clock Tower. Please come and say hi. We'll be taking some Free Mini Comics to hand out - the secret password is 'Do you have a business card?'. (full events list can be found on the blog sidebar)

If you're interested if buying some some comics and can't make it to any of the events they are available to order online through Sarah's Etsy Shop or my Etsy Shop (which has finally been converted into GBP).

[sammyandsarah]

Thank you to everyone who came by our table at Comica Comiket! I just wish the library was open a bit longer - I was having too much fun

The next event will be the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair on Saturday 4th October 2014. We will be sharing half a table again so we will be bringing slightly limited stock. But we really love making new things so there will probably be something brand new on the table.

We can also confirm that our table at Thought Bubble will be in New Dock Hall! for further information on events see the blog sidebar.

Attention Woolves! What’s the Time, Mrs Woolf? is now accepting submissions for our Autumn 2014 issue! Our Autumnal theme this year is GHOSTS…

We will consider ghostly articles, comics, short stories, poetry, illustrations, recipes, instructions and how-tos, fact sheets, puzzles and anything else. If you’d like to read it when you pick up a zine, we’d like to see it! (Even if it’s not strictly ghost-themed.) For this issue we especially encourage classic and original ghost stories, and real-life paranormal experiences…

As usual our resident fairy, Poppet the House Hob, is also ready to answer questions and give advice and information to hapless humans. Questions for Poppet are always welcome!

The deadline for this issue is Saturday 20th September. Any submissions received after this date will be considered for the Spring zine.

Please send submissions to whatsthetimemrswoolf@gmail.com

The format is A5, black and white or greyscale, 300dpi JPEG files. If you’d like to submit a cover illustration, the cover format is A4 (landscape), full colour, 300dpi, JPEG. Please read our full submission guidelines for further information, or email/message us with any questions.

Please note: due to life events Lilywoolf and I have decided there will be no Winter zine this year. If you are thinking of submitting we encourage you to submit to this Autumn issue! While we do accept submissions at any time, the next zine after this one won’t be printed until Spring next year.

Special thanks to our own Lilywoolf, for doing the cover, intro, contents, credits and other extra admin stuff for this issue, allowing myself a much-needed break for some freelance jobs. Keep an eye on the woolfblog, for in thanks I will be recording myself reading her excellent pirate-voiced intro aloud and posting it here on the blog.
