Issue 7, Out Now!

You can buy it right now from the Zine Store, or click the button below. Every sale is distributed among participating artists, so if you want to support them, that’s the way to go!

Thank you infinitely if you choose to do that! Right now I am trying to gather funds to increase the commissions I pay artists for the Second Year of the Zine, and every little bit helps. If you’d like to get the issues as soon as they come out you can become a supporter on Ko-Fi; or on Patreon, where there’s a couple of extra tiers with more perks! If you want to become a supporter just for the sake of it, you can donate via liberapay.

If you can’t or don’t want to buy the issue right now, that’s alright! Over the course of the next few weeks the comics will be published here on the site. Here’s the release schedule if you’re curious:

Physical Zines giveaway: Derivative works!

Hello!

Today would have been the launch of issue 7, but there’s been some restructuring and it will be coming out in a couple of weeks instead. Apologies about that, but I promise it’s worth it!

Instead, how about we do our second ever Physical Zine Giveaway!?

This time around I will pick 3 different winners who will each get 3 physical issues of the zine. Each can pick which issues they get. I will ship them pretty much anywhere in the world using Canada Post (tracking will depend on how far from Canada you are).

In order to participate I will need you to:

  1. Pick a work from Issues 1-6 of the zine.* (*Be careful if you choose Juanele’s comic in issue 4, since the characters are not free-culture, just the story itself)
  2. Check out which license it is under.
  3. Create a derivative work based on that work. If it’s a comic, please make it 1-page long minimum, 3-pages long max. Make sure the content is PG-13, PG or G.
  4. Comment on this post, and make sure to include which work you’re creating a derivation from, what license you are using (it has to be consistent and compatible with the license from the original work. Your work must be Free-Culture in order to be considered), and a link to look at what you made.

The 3 winners will get:

  • 3 Physical issues of Fodongo of their choosing shipped to them pretty much anywhere in the world.
  • If the derivative work is a comic page (or pages) they will be included in a future issue of Fodongo and the authors compensated for their work.
  • If the derivative work is an illustration, a translation, or something in a medium different than comics, you will get featured on the Fodongo website.

You have 30 days from the publication of this post to submit your work! Winners will be announced a few weeks after this period.

Good luck. Thank you for reading, supporting and participating in Free-Culture.

See you next week with the comic Plenty of Fangs, by Sprak, from Issue 6.
