The Adventure School for Ladies Comics Intensive application process has come to a close, but this shouldn’t be seen as an ending! More like a beginning! Except it is the beginning of a lot of work, so it could also been seen as an ending of those innocent carefree, salad days where you sat around all day not drawing comics, and not thinking about gender, sex-based, race-based, and economic barriers to freedom of expression, and how to make them funny.

To mourn those lost days of your pre-Comics Intensive lifestyle, we have created this coffee mug. (Also because our Director of Adventuring broke her coffee mug this morning and needs a new one.) Featuring the work of Assistant Adventurer Nicole Boyett. Only $15! Or: What? $15! That’s a lot of money! Or: Do you need one? Probably not. Do you want one? If you do, they cost $15.

Our admitted Adventurers and Mistresses will be receiving their admissions information later today, during which time we’ll also be updating our site. If you have resources to add to our in-the-works resources page, want to comment on our awesome new domain name adventureschoolforladies.com, or just had a bad day and want to be reminded that it’s probably because capitalism wants us to feel bad and lonely, leave a comment here!
