| Always Inclusive! HAND-DRAWN CHARACTERS FROM SCRIBBLES PAST INCLUDES MUPPETS, FRIENDS & ALIENS |
In our initial years, we were a single-copy hand drawn magazine in digest format. Created initially for my sister Jane and going by numerous titles, most notably, Sunny Digest, the one-of-a-kind magazines soon became popular with family and friends, who would take turns reading each new issue.
In 1990, Scribbles went from being a single copy magazine to a "multi-copied" one. Well, maybe "multi" is a bit exaggerated. We initially started with 16 copies, distributed to family and friends. It was an instant hit.
By 1994 we were up to 60 copies and in September of that year celebrated our 15th Anniversary with our largest issue ever. It also took the most time ever to put together.As enjoyable as it was to create, Scribbles it also became increasingly more expensive and time consuming to put together on a regular basis and hard copy magazines ended in 1996.
After a brief hiatus, Scribbles resurrected online in the format of a newsletter, initially sent to 30 pals.
There have been many features that have kept us popular over the years, including reader's stories & photos, jokes, contests, events listings & more.
The year 2017 will mark Scribbles 38th year in existence -in one format or another. That's a long time. I used to joke when I was with Rob because Scribbles is a year older than he and his twin brother Rodney are. It's freaky when the hobby or whatever you'd call this Scribbles thing, has been around longer tan many of its followers. No matter how you slice it, it's been a good, long time.
