Magic Bullet, Washington DC’s comic newspaper anthology, was featured today on The Beat. Thanks to Heidi MacDonald and Adam McGovern for highlighting this publication with some press on Halloween. You can read all about it here: http://comicsbeat.com/24-hours-of-halloween-magic-bullet-7/
This is a great opportunity for cartoonists to perform community service, showcase our talents, and hopefully save lives. The Red Cross does not need blood – patients do. Every two seconds someone in America gets a blood transfusion. Five million patients will need blood this year.
Blood donors are needed to sign up for appointments scheduled in 15 minute intervals between 10AM to 3:30PM. To donate blood, please email Carolyn ‘info@curls-studio.com‘ with your preferred appointment time. Walk-ins are welcome.
On the day of your blood donation, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, include iron-rich foods in your diet, bring a list of medications you are taking, and bring a photo ID.

In addition, on this day you can also be present for the opening reception of the Andy Warhol “Silver Clouds” exhibit, which is located at the gallery next door. The reception is from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
Andy Warhol is Joe’s arch-nemesis, so in this case they will battle again at the same time, same place. Be there to see the showdown! Both events are free.
