With just over a week left until the submission deadline for issue #1 of our new mini-comic series, MicroCHIPs, we've put together a wee FAQ about it! If you have any other questions not covered here, please get in touch - we'd be happy to answer any queries! (1/2)

MicroCHIPS FAQ: Q: I don't have a portfolio website, can I still apply to 
MicroCHIPs using a link to my social media profile? / A: Absolutely, as long as your social media profile includes examples of your comic work! /
Q: Can I submit a pre-existing/already completed comic to MicroCHIPs? / A: Already-completed comics may not be suitable due to the format of MicroCHIPs and/or our submission requirements. These mini-comics will be printed at A6 so we'll need to ensure that text is legible at that size, 
and our submission form asks that you submit a source-backed fun fact on the MicroCHIPs issue topic that you would then create a 1-2 page comic about.

Ooooof. This reads to me as a top down report from people looking to the avarice in our sister industries like video games and instead of wanting to protect against it thinking ‘how can we get in on that?’ Don’t worry, I will elaborate
