Two links

I've been wasting my afternoon, delighting at TV Tropes and Stupid Comics. The former contains articles like You Fail Biology Forever, Everything's Better With Dinosaurs, and A Wizard Did It. The later collects fantastic and bizarre images, particularly from golden and silver age covers.

EDIT: Also, TV Tropes just led me to this chart, in which you can see both a Robot Lincoln and an Astronaut Vampire. The internet ate my afternoon.

MoCCAfest 2009!

MoCCA art festival 2009, June 6-7. Chris and I will have a table (and hopefully I'll have more than just high fives to offer people). If you've never been, it's pretty awesome- lots of small press and minuscule press and minicomics and webcomics and people who get excited by all these things. Accumulating changes have made the museum less inviting this past year, but it remains an institution worthy of support and this is their big annual event, attracting all sorts of guests and exhibitors. There's no master list yet, but exhibitors include: Kate Beaton, Joey Comeau, and Bill Roundy (let me know more names).

Making A Softer World

Open Book Toronto made a short documentary about A Softer World, following Joey Comeau and Emily Horne (and Ryan North) as they put together a strip.
