TCAF starts this Saturday! And if you've been before, you know... TCAF is the best. But maybe you haven't been before! If so, here are some answers to just a few of the questions I know you are asking. Right now. Aloud. No matter who else is in the room.

Where is it? The Toronto Reference Library!

How much does it cost to attend? Not a damn thing!

Where can I find you? I'll be on the second floor, in the massive webcomics annex.

Whatcha bringing? Books! T-shirts! Buttons! Prints! Original Art! High spirits!

Are there going to be a lot of other cartoonists there? Oh man... so many.

In conclusion: TCAF! It's what's for dinner.

Toronto Comic Arts Festival

It's TCAF this weekend, team! If you're going to be in the big city this weekend, come by the Toronto Reference Library and experience one of the best (and totally free to attend!) indie comics shows around. I'll be there, alongside about a bazillion other web and print cartoonists. Trust me... it is going to be the best.

I'm back from Victoria, where I was busy teaching middle school classes about comics! Although quite frankly, they all knew plenty about comics already. It is so exciting to be in a room of grade 8 students who love Bone and Calvin and Hobbes just as much -- if not more! -- than I did when I was there age. Awesome.

I had a complete blast drawing some live cartoons based entirely on student suggestions... even though my clumsy cheap-webcam-and-tripod setup combined with an eager, shouting audience necessitated that I draw said cartoons:

a) Without pencilling
b) As quickly as possible
b) From about foot to the right. (So my head stayed out of the camera's way!)

But we made do! Characters were born, vital details were hastily inserted on the fly, and the results were... well, see for yourself! I started typing up explanations for them, but you know what? I think they stand alone just fine.





See? Perfect sense!

But now, I'm afraid, I am completely exhausted! So enjoy today's comic(s), and we'll return for a new one and a new round Q and A on Monday. See you then!
