Flag of Convenience For the advancement of superb webcomics

Why we’re here…

Now that the site has gone live properly, I'd like to take a moment to explain our main mission.

Back in July, Prestwick and Majic13 mused on the possibility of getting a table at the UK Web & Mini Comix Thing 2010. Majic13 had visited the 2009 event and came away very impressed and as he already runs an interesting and successful webcomic felt it'd be a doddle to get a table underway. Soon, Kyethn of Red Moon Rising fame was on board and up for giving it a go. The issue was...how exactly should we do it?!

We knew we wanted to create a loose grouping of some sort so we decided upon a loose Co-operative and then we set about a name. Several names such as "The Bellingham Club" were suggested before "Flag of Convenience" was suggested. An instant hit, it was immediately adopted and Majic13 complemented the name with a superb logo:

After that it was just a matter of putting together a website which was done in surprisingly double quick time and then we found ourselves ready to book our first tables at a con! As of 09:45 GMT on the 22nd of September, 2009 this milestone was acheived and now we're all set for the Webcomix Thing 2010!!!

Follow our progress here as we prepare for the first con of our lives. Hopefully we'll all post short updates about how we're preparing, printing stuff and then we may liveblog the event when it happens in the new year (March to be exact!)
