open call for comic strips

The open call has officially ended.
Thank you for your strips!

The Funnies was Scarfff's ALL COMIC STRIPS section within Scarfff Comics Newspaper. Every comic strip featured was submitted by readers and fans to our open call. Submissions were open to everyone and entry was free. For consideration all submissions needed to follow the theme of an upcoming issue and fit The Funnies format:
• 4 x 13 inches (horizontal) • 300 dpi or higher • Grayscale • Fonts need to be 20pt or larger, and rasterized (hand lettering is great, too!) •

Feel free to send us new strips. We don't have plans yet, but maybe someday The Funnies will return. In the meantime keep drawing!

Please send all submissions as a .tiff, .pdf, or .psd to  as well as any questions you might have.

What we're all about

Quarterly •Free •100% Comics and Art
OUR MISSION

Scarfff seeks to be an ambassador for comics as a medium by providing an entirely artist run, high quality, consistent publication, free of charge to readers and retailers, that features a diverse range of creators, styles, and perspectives.

BACKGROUND

Scarfff started when some frustrated cartoonists from Seattle and San Francisco got together and made a newspaper... A COMIX NEWSPAPER. Scarfff lets readers check out work from a range of diverse and inspired cartoonists, illustrators, and other visually creative types who might not otherwise have a venue to display their art. We're a quarterly publication where the content of each issue is created around a different theme. The cover price for Scarfff is FREE, so if you you find it in the wild IT'S ALL YOURS, BABY!
