Check out this beautiful sketch I got from Belgian cartoonist Léonie Bischoff at #CXC2024! I did a "Comics and Colored Pencils" panel with her and Melanie Gillman that will be posted on the CXC YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

Art has a reputation for being kinda prickly... but if he is, he sure wasn't at #CXC2024. It was so amazing to see him and Françoise just wandering the floor, talking with everybody, talking to/getting minis from CCAD students and other young cartoonists just starting out!

What an amazing time at #CXC2024! Here's a fun then/now pair of pictures: Art Spiegelman at the very first CXC in 2015 holding my then-new comic, Oyster War... and Art on the floor yesterday signing/skething in my daughter's TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics.
