The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Shows And Events
By Tom Spurgeon
* Seattle's Short Run has a date for 2017:
November 4. Registration will begin in May.
* Chris Anthony Diaz
took a bunch of nice photos at the Fantagraphics 40th Anniversary party, and one of me.
* same photographer, different show:
CALA 2017.
*
here's a crowd-funder for a 2018 con heavily emphasizing diversity and inclusiveness. I'm sure there's some ugly pushback out there if you look for it, but I'm happy for all kinds of models and all kinds of participants.
*
there is a tour for Joe Ollmann and a book launch for Vanessa Davis this winter: they are both formidable cartoonists and nice people.
* finally: so I looked at the convention calendar for next year, and right now I plan on doing
SPACE,
MoCCA Festival,
PIX,
TCAF,
SDCC,
SPX and
CXC for sure;
Emerald City,
WonderCon,
CAKE,
A2CAF,
Heroes,
Autoptic,
Short Run,
CAB and
CALA as I'm able. There are probably at least two I'm forgetting and holy guacamole, that's a lot of funnybook shows. Maybe we can all find happiness at one, or true love, or a near mint copy of Brynocki's first appearance. Hope springs eternal, anyway. On to 2017.
