Ahem. Due to a little snafu on my part, this week's tutorial on COMPOSITION for The Phoenix was actually run in last week's issue, and the tutorial I showed you last week is in this week's issue. Oops! But never mind! What's important is that this week sees the 300TH ISSUE Of THE PHOENIX! And robin and I have had our scribblings and stories in almost every one of 'em :) Here's to the next 300!

The exception to this rule will be that for families that attend who have several comic-loving children, they'll EACH get a sketch :)
