You'll be able to meet and greet with the issue's contributors, purchase copies of "All in the Family" for $5 (contributors get 1 copy each) before all your friends, and get fierce on some ping pong and pies!  

Editor Andy Johnson will be bringing his ping pong table, you bring your lucky paddle and maybe you can attempt to beat him, but he's serious about ping pong, so watch out. We'll be doing it tournament style, winner gets a free copy of the new issue! 

You may remember David, current Pie Champ of Whiffies (and now forever in the Pie Champ Hall of Fame, as Whiffies is making this pies at a different size now). Whiffies needs a new Pie Champ, so check out the new size and go for your first chance at Pie Champ 2.0--all while helping Whiffies celebrate their 1 Year Anniversary!
 
"All in the Family" is the ninth monthly anthology from Stumptown Underground, centralized around the theme of family. While our release party will be family appropriate, this edition, like most of our zines, isn't for kiddos. In this issue, you'll find comics, writing, and illustrations from the likes of Hazel Newlevant (also the cover artist), Jeremy Kemp, Katy Ellis O'Brien, Mike Merrill, Tonya Jones, John Landolfe, Megan Thorson, Robnoxious, Everette Patterson, and many more. 


We will be getting an online preview up soon, so stay tuned!

Stumptown Underground is a zine collective, publishing monthly issues that include pretty much anything you can put in a zine (writing, comics, illustrations, reviews, recipes, etc) and centralized around a different theme each month. Our purpose in doing this monthly zine is to give ourselves and the people who submit the opportunity to be inspired by monthly themes to create more, to get more of their creative work out in the world, and to build community. You can find more information online, as well as extensive previews of all issues.
