Some Basic Stuff

Submission Guide

If you have a comic that is under 10 pages, submit it to 'oneshots'.

If it is a strip, submit it to 'Strips'

If you have a comic STORY that is ongoing (is already or going to bemore than 10 pages long), send me a note and I will make a folder with its name for you to submit it to.

Comic Fanart goes to Fanart Folder.

Pinups and portraits of comic characters go to 'Comic Characters and Portraits'

Political cartoons, politically-oriented comics and social analyses-heavy content goes to Political Cartoons and Comics . CAREFUL: advertisement of political groups or parties IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.

Scripts for comics go to 'Scripts'.

Whatever the case, always submit the comic's cover to the 'covers' folder!

Also to Keep in Mind:

Careful! We aren't going for ethnic bigotry here. If any nation or group or religion is getting badgered one-sidedly or fanatism is cultivated through a comic, then it won't be accepted here, even if it is pro-Greek.

If, however, depictions are accurate and any bigotry limited to characters in a comic, then it is just fine.

And to promote all ways truly Democratic, any issue that arises we'll discuss in the group blog before any decision is made!

Group Info

Here be comics by Greek artists, or with a theme about or set in Greece by any artist, Greek or not, one way or the other!

If you love the Mediterranean spirit and all things Greek, come on in!

Σκέφτηκα πολύ με τα δύο τελευταία έργα που μας ήρθαν, τα οποία είναι ουσιαστικά πολιτικής φύσεως γελοιογραφίες. Εάν δεν απτόταν της πολιτικής σκηνής, δεν θα τα δεχόμουν στο γκρουπ λόγω κανόνων (πολεμική ρητορική κλπ) αλλά πιστεύω ότι επειδή ακριβώς αντικατοπτρίζουν διάφορες πολιτικές τοποθετήσεις που υπάρχουν στην Ελλάδα και διεθνώς, συμπεριλαμβανομένου και της ιδέας που καλλιεργείται για τον εαυτό μας ως Έλληνες και άλλα, πρέπει να έχουν τη θέση τους και αυτά στο γκρουπ.

Για αυτό έφτιαξα καινούριο φάκελο, τον Political Cartoons and Comics και από εδώ και στο εξής κάθε τι που είναι πολιτική κριτική θα μπαίνει εκεί- και αυτός είναι και ο μόνος φάκελος για τον οποίο θα δέχομαι έργα με οριακό προς τους κανόνες περιεχόμενο με την προϋπόθεση ότι όλα εμπίπτουν στην πολιτική/ κοινωνική κριτική.

Τούτων δοθέντων πρέπει να πω ότι διαφωνώ κάθετα με το όλο θέμα του κλισέ του νεοέλληνα με τον φραπέ και το δικομματισμό καθότι δεν υποστηρίζεται από κοινωνικές μελέτες και είναι προπαγάνδα, αλλά η προπαγάνδα αυτή είναι μέρος του ελληνικού pop culture οπότε δεκτόν ως δείγμα! :D

I have been giving much thought on the issue of content with the two recent works submitted, which are basically political cartoons. If they had not been a political commentary of sorts, I wouldn't have accepted them into the group due to the group rules (polemic rhetoric against a group etc) but I believe that exactly because they reflect assorted political positionings existing in Greece and internationally, including the idea that is being cultivated as part of the Greek self image and so on, they too must have their proper position in the group.

That's why I made a new file, tagged Political Cartoons and Comics and from now on, everything that is mainly a political critique will be entered here- and this is the only file for which I will be accepting works with marginal content regarding the group rules, always provided that they all fall under sociopolitical critique.

This said I must say I completely disagree with the whole 'nouveau-greek' cliche of a frappe-brandishing politically inept oaf as it is not supported by any serious social study and is basically propaganda, but this propaganda is part of the greek pop culture so it's accepted as a specimen of exactly that! :D

Hello!!
I learned just today about a webpage (valid enough) which gathers signatures about the return of the Parthenon marbles. The link is: [link]
When we will collect 1.000.001 signatures, we will be able to set the matter at the European Parliament.

The campaign is global, EVERYONE CAN SIGN! I sincerely believe that it is important and with the new museum they should have been returned already.

I know that with the greek crisis, the world has forgotten about it and who knows if there is going to be a goverment to support this BUT IT’S TIME FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE A STEP FORWARD AND BE HEARD!!

I hope we have your support, and if you believe in this you can also spread the word to everyone you know! :D
