Comics-Focused NYCC Events/Programs

The New York Comic Con released its full programming slate late last week. For my own purposes I winnowed down what sounded like comics-focused programming into its own list -- hopefully I got them all. Human error probably means I didn't, plus not all of these panels have descriptions where deciding what they were about was possible. For instance, there's a panel called "Diversify!" which doesn't really have a description at all. I also couldn't tell you all the panels worth seeking out until I know a bit more. I figure the Shaw/Kidd will be good, as well as the Rall/Kurtz, but there are no political cartoonists named in the political cartoonist panel description and that would make a difference. I hope this still might give you a chance to orient yourself to the weekend.

One thing I find bizarre is how late some of the programming was scheduled. There is programming at the convention that goes later than some of the evening events planned in conjunction with the con weekend by outside organizations. Because this is going up just a few weeks out and I'd never considered the possibility of a Dash Shaw panel that might end at 9:15 PM, I'm probably not alone having already-made plans that now stand in conflict; I'd also hate to be anyone commuting in from New Jersey or Long Island. That's not a complaint made with gritted teeth -- it's a funnybook show! -- just an observation of something that seemed different to me. Every con that can seems to be spreading out these programming events, although maybe a difference with NYCC is that the Javitz center isn't really near anything. It's hard for me to fathom getting a bite to eat and then heading back for one more panel.

Also, I should probably mention that I'm participating on a panel. I'm speaking to Mort Walker on Saturday at 1 PM. I think that will be a memorable panel, I was honored to be asked, and I hope if you're going to the convention you'll consider attending.

Anyway, here you are.
