The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Cons, Shows, Events



By Tom Spurgeon

* this weekend it's CAKE, which seems as far along as any small press show could be in its first year. Chicago could really a small press show: the whole freakin' midwest could actually use an anchor show in one of its biggest cities. I hope that it continues to thrive and has another year because if I remember the place where it's held it's like eight blocks from the Palmer House and Miller's Pub. The Dick The Bruiser autographed photo at Miller's Pub is one of the High Holy Sites in all of the Windy City.

* here's a couple of D+Q convention reports: Julia Pohl-Miranda goes to BEA; Tom Devlin goes to Oslo.

* Roger Langridge goes old-school con report with a lengthy post on his trip to Erlangen.

* Calvin Reid and Heidi MacDonald write on the comics presence at BEA.

* I don't run enough event coverage in this column, so please make up for my laziness by visiting this set of photos from a recent Joe Sacco event at the Fantagraphics store. Man, there's nothing better in comics than Joe Sacco. Joe Sacco!
