From Hand-Drawn Magazine to the World Wide Web,
Scribbles Has Come a Long Way Baby
Let's face it, the Scribbles you are reading here is a far cry from the Scribbles you would have been reading in 1979, when we debuted on Labour Day weekend.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, sent to 30 pals.
There have been many features that have kept us popular over the years, including reader's stories & photos, jokes, contests,links, events listings & more.
Whether you are discovering Scribbles for the first time of have been around for the ride for many years (or even from day one!) we welcome you to our special group.
