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



By Tom Spurgeon

* I updated the forthcoming shows and events page that runs every day on the site; you can scroll down below to see it at the 3:15 AM mark. One thing that popped is that the shows start the first weekend back with one in Arizona. Another is that the mid-February, Valentine's Day weekend is a crowded one.

* the controversy over the lack of female cartoonist in the grand prix long nominations list has diverted attention from other news about Angouleme, such as what seems to me a very fan-friendly programming slate driven by a trio of Katsuhiro Otomo-related offerings, a Hugo Pratt exhibit, Breakdown Press and the French magazine Volcano doing risograph-printed comics on site, and a Jean-Cristophe Menu retrospective, among others.

* Fantagraphics has announced a Daniel Clowes tour in support of Patience.

* finally, the Eisner Awards have put out their call for entries. That will run until mid-March. If you're eligible and favor those award, you should apply. It's the best way to make sure your material will be processed by the judges.
