Auction And Sketches At Komikon 2009 Raises Money For Flood Victims

There is a series of lovely-looking photos form the just-past Komikon 2009 here, the top one of which informs us that organizers were able to use the event to raise about $1700 USD for victims of recent flooding throughout the nation. You can find more information through links available at that posting. Kiel Phegley's well-written article late last week reminded me of the then-forthcoming effort.

Two other less-important pieces but still fun pieces of news I can see in the photos is that international comics expert John Lent does appear to travel to those things. There was a tiny percentage of my soul fearful that when I ran article about cartoonists in Turkey or wherever John was just having a laugh making them all up. How would I know? The other is that Gerry Alanguilan's Elmer, the best comic ever about sentient chickens and their ability to find a place in the new world created by their awakening, has apparently been collected.
