If you, like us, are sad FLUKE is over, why not use this list compiled by friend of FLUKE (and SPLAT! organizer) @mild-pain.bsky.social to find other small press events near you? mildpain.art/zine-fests

Abby did the BEST job putting together the Friday pre-FLUKE show. What a great weekend!

Hi, friends. The official FLUKE 2025 playlist has been compiled and is available for you to view (and attempt to recreate in your chosen music player, if desired) on our website: flukeisawesome.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-...

Some Fluke '25 wrap-up thoughts and a few pages from my Godzilla zine up on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/godzil...

Had a great time as always at @flukeathens.bsky.social yesterday! Now I’m TOTALLY WIPED OUT 🫠

Had the best birthday in a while: 1) Brunch 2) Got some awesome stuff at @flukeathens.bsky.social 3) Cupcakes 4) Italian wine bar for dinner 5) Watched Heretic 6) Currently getting drunk and subjecting my mother to Be My Cat: A Film for Anne

I read my new "Crimson the Clown" nursery rhyme aloud for @undeadequipped.bsky.social, @fleamarked.bsky.social, @lastbosscomics.bsky.social, & Adam Daughhetee at dinner after @flukeathens.bsky.social. Absolute joy. Also, @garretizumi.bsky.social was my table-mate for the day, which was cool as heck.

We’ll be going to sleep for a few months soon, but we’ll be announcing the official date of FLUKE 2026 before we shut down for the “off-season.”

Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of FLUKE 2025, whether as an exhibitor, an attendee, a sponsor, a volunteer, or someone just watching along from afar. We are consistently amazed by the community that we are a part of.

When T. Edward Bak threw a comic book/‘zine party in January of 2002, he called it FLUKE because it was an accident. An anomaly. Something that was only supposed to happen once. Now, a couple of decades later, we’re still here and, frankly, it just keeps getting better.

THE LITTLEST FIGHTER has SOLD OUT at @flukeathens.bsky.social! They should still have a few copies at Bizarro-Wuxtry!

Hello from @flukeathens.bsky.social at 40 watt

We did it. For Patrick, Forever.

We're out at @flukeathens.bsky.social! If you're in the area, say hi! /// #zinetable #zines #flukeathens2025 #artist #art #zinefest

All set up at FLUKE! A really tiny display for me 💕 @flukeathens.bsky.social

@flukeathens.bsky.social is blasting 8bit music, and I'm here for it.

I’ve got a full day ahead of me playing board games with a bunch of guys named Brad, and it’s going to be the best…but my heart is at the 40 Watt today. Every year I miss FLUKE, I miss FLUKE.

Whatever happened to the Transparent Dream?

Today is the day! Migraine is better and nausea be damned, be sure to stop by and say hello at @flukeathens.bsky.social , between 10:00am and 5:00pm! ✨️

We met with the good people at the 40 Watt today and one of the first things they asked is “is that iPod still working?” YES IT IS.

New mini-comic premiering at FLUKE this Saturday in Athens, Georgia.

Just helped set the space up for this event. It’s gonna be GOOD! You do not want to miss this.

Witness the MAJESTY of the FLUKE iPod. His name is Marcus Alexander Bagwell. Marcus has held the official FLUKE playlist every year since 2007, and he’s still going strong!

Can’t wait to see everyone here on Saturday!

Cover inks are done! I’ll be debuting Tales from the Esteem Toilet #1 at @flukeathens.bsky.social on Saturday! We’re still arranging her 14 pages of cartoonish guts, but you can pre-order a copy on my website (link in bio) and help fund my trip to GA!

Expect to see a bunch of these March 29th @flukeathens.bsky.social

Do you like pencils? Because WE HAVE PENCILS…

The printer was unable to do the red printing on blue pencils even though we explained we were TRYING to cause eye-strain so the words will be printed in white. Still, CUSTOM PENCILS!

Hey did you know that you can just get stuff printed on pencils? Anyway we’ll have 144 of these at FLUKE 2025. ✏️ ✏️✏️

This is excellent!!!

Also we have removed Twitter and Facebook from FLUKE's active social media list. We're working on removing ourselves from Instagram and Google as well. That's probably a project for next year, though.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS: The FLUKE 2025 website has been updated with a list of all of the exhibitors you can expect to see on March 29th at the 40 Watt Club.

Hi, friends. The Official EXHIBITORS LIST for FLUKE 2025 will be posted on our website tomorrow (Feb. 14). All exhibitors will be emailed tomorrow with instructions, etc., too.
