I got steemit more and BETTER mainstream press!

![Screen Shot 2019-04-09 at 10.27.28 AM.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVucGzdAvYuxRBaSynMZhqsn89nXQ6TckYz918ebnpMrt/Screen%20Shot%202019-04-09%20at%2010.27.28%20AM.png)

We got another article in a mainstream news outlet, and this time we got top billing!

https://ithacavoice.com/2019/04/1920s-ithaca-sets-the-scene-for-lovecraftian-horror-comic/?fbclid=IwAR1Uc3GvX4zAfHc2svwNgvEuf7y_6SZgMNghzZy4U0EmPdVsa2xOaYamuo0

You can check out the piece for yourselves, and I really think this one will drum up more interest in Ithaqa and Steemit than the last one. Ithaca Voice has a large readership, and getting our own dedicated article is really nice. Better than having to scroll past a bunch of stories about murder and dog poo!

You can read all of "Ithaqa" Issue 1 here on steemit!

Nice! Good work buddy 👍 The last article was cool but this placement might be better suited to grab more people's attention.

Keep chugging along, and good luck on your comic! I'm looking forward to reading it all through when it's complete [ *I hate cliff-hangers ;^)* ]

Great bit of publicity. I think Steem has some little nodes of users and Ithaca could be the next one.
