MoCCA Festival 2012 Same Weekend As Stumptown Comics Fest

I'm glad Heidi MacDonald picked up on this, because I sure didn't. The MoCCA Festival has announced its 2012 dates for the exact same weekend as Portland's Stumptown Comics Fest. As Dustin Harbin patiently explains in the comments thread, this means that a number of small-press cartoonists will lose an important venue to exhibit and sell work. Another poster points out that Stumptown clashed with SPACE this year in much the same way MoCCA will overlap with Stumptown this year, to little obvious impact. I suspect that this will add to the slowly growing chorus of dissatisfaction with MoCCA, but like many successful shows there will almost certainly be enough exhibitors to make a full house at the New York event. It might help MoCCA that Stumptown is in the middle of a transitional period from small hall to convention center, which if history is any indication means that they're probably not at their most-loved right now.
