Do Not Disturb My Waking Dream

USA: Laura Park has a new mini-comic out, and if you’re nice, you could get one.

No central site; likely she’s too busy drawing up tasty treats. You can contact via MySpace or Flickr, or comicians ‘in the know’.

Not familiar? Let’s just do a quick Google. Hmm… here’s an article. And another. And another.
