MICE IS ONE WEEK AWAY! Let us know you're coming by registering online at www.micexpo.org/events/mice-... ! This information helps us gauge attendance numbers to help us plan and promote our event. Donate, too, if you're able! Allow us to accomplish all that we can and more
A cheeky brown mouse wearing a blue overcoat and a green knit hat is holding up a MICE-labeled comic triumphantly. A speech bubble says “Don’t forget to register for MICE!” Donating allows us to do all that we can for MICE, including helping our local artists and special guests, provides supplies for workshops, and most importantly, allows us to host MICE as a yearly event. A mouse with wide ears watching on through wide circular glasses says “and more!” Poorly photoshopped hands point to the many buttons we have on the front page of our website to register for MICE to put your name down and give a donation.

This year’s comic debuts are LIVE on our site! The gifting season is upon us, and what’s a better gift than a brand new comic from your favorite local artist? That’s right, TWO new comics! Maybe even 3! www.micexpo.org/previews-2025
Key art by Matt Smith shows a mouse peacefully reading way up high in a cozy tree branch. The base of the tree grows around a serene mouse-shaped rock. Snow covers the treetop and the rock. Large red text shares that comic debuts are LIVE over at micexpo.org/previews-2025 !
