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



By Tom Spurgeon

* the Society Of Illustrators has announced their MoCCA Festival for April 1-2 of 2017 and a nicely-selected group of special guests in terms of range of style: Blutch, Cliff Chiang, Becky Cloonan, Drew Friedman, David Lloyd and Gene Luen Yang.

* nice catch by Heidi MacDonald and The Beat that two of the "Amazing" comics shows have been canceled, with two left going. It's indeed a crowded market and we're going to see some of these local-to-regional shows take a pass on moving forward. I think in the short term the market saturation for such shows is going to be felt in the way the shows function.

* I'd take art lessons from Howard Chaykin. I expect to see something like this at every show by the beginning of 2018.

* finally, I don't think I announced all of them, but you can read about WonderCon's six waves of special guests announced through Thanksgiving weekend over at the Comic-Con site. I'd like to do that show next year, and I think people are going to start finding reasons to do the Southern California shows more generally.
