-- The all-female hierarchy running the Good 5 Cent Cigar, URI's student newspaper, the first time this has happened since the paper was established in 1971. 

When that fact is brought up, the women all smile with a modest sense of pride. Yet, they also are quick to point out that its estrogen-laden leadership does not define the newspaper.

"We've thought about it, but not much," said Editor-in-Chief Brenna McCabe of Portsmouth. "We are more concerned about getting the paper out."

McCabe, a senior journalism major, heads the Cigar management team. Joining her are Managing Editors Chloe Thompson and Lindsay Lorenz, Entertainment Editor Caity Cudworth and Sports Editor Kayla Panu. Business Manager Katrina Nacci, a sophomore finance major from Coventry, completes the female sweep.

On November 8th I will be back at East Providence High School for the annual Scout House craft fair. That one runs from 10 am to 5 pm.

 "A Novel Idea," a bookstore on Hope Street in Bristol, now has my book on its shelves. This is the first store to stock my book and I'm hoping that it is the first of many. I'll let you know of further locations.

 

Otherwise, you can purchase "Anyone Can Draw Cartoonagrams" through the mail by using the attached order form. The website dedicated to the book, www.cartoonagrams.com, is still under construction. We are currently trying to work out the credit card purchase option for the site. We should have that in place soon ("we" being myself and my editor, Richard Goldman).
