TCAF talk, the Third
TCAF is this weekend, August 18-19, in Toronto.

It's at Victoria College, right beside Museum Station (across from the Royal Ontario Museum).

It's FREE! to get in!

About a million fabulous cartoonists will be there exhibiting and signing and sketching and selling their fabulous stuff!

It's in scenic downtown Toronto, on the beautiful University of Toronto Campus, as seen in Scott Pilgrim Vol 3, which is nominated for a Doug Wright Award, to be given out Friday Night!

It's right down the street from Yonge where you can get good cheap Thai food and whatnot. (The Amazing Toronto Reference library, as seen in Scott Pilgrim Vol 2, is also just a few short blocks away.)

I'm on the second floor, beside Wright-nominated HOPE LARSON and Wright-nominated REBECCA KRAATZ. I will have:


  • All my books for sale! $12 each! 60 copies each! How long will they last?
  • THE ANNOTATED PILGRIM! $3 each, or free with a purchase of any two $12 books (or a piece of expensive artwork)! I printed 200 of them! First-come, first-serve, if it comes to that!
  • Expensive artwork! Some of which will be cheap! I am reducing prices soon/now!
  • Free, beautiful, full-colour, double-sided postcards, featuring Secret Pixel Art on the back, which has (somehow) not yet made its Internet Debut! I am good at keeping this secret!

I will do signatures and sketches in your books for free! If you have all three Scott Pilgrims for me to sign, I usually do a sketch in one of them and just sign the other two. If you also have Lost at Sea, I usually do a little sketch in there too. Two book-sketches per person if they have all four books, dig?

I usually do small sketches for free, if you provide paper or a sketchbook. My wrist is troubling me lately. Please don't ask too much of me. I will beg you with my sad, sad eyes.

On Saturday night I'm playing some songs on my guitar, at Sneaky Dee's, followed by some real bands. Exciting! This event costs $5. Explore the fascinatingly weird coincidence of me playing a show at a bar that is a prominent location in Scott Pilgrim Vol 4, and is depicted in the secret pixel art on the back of my free postcard.

Very long post! That is all for now!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am involved in two panels - something about MANGA at 1 PM on Saturday, and something about GAYS IN COMICS at 4 or 5 pm also on Saturday. Note: I am not gay, but have been roped in as the Token Straight Guy (who writes a well-known gay character) for this panel. Other note: I would have more information, but the TCAF website is down right now, and so is my website, but hopefully everything will be back soon.

I wish I could be there, I hope you sell all, my master friend.

I've got a couple Scott Pilgrim requests from my doodle meme post, I'll be sure to make you proud.

I can't make it there, but I will pat myself on the back for already having all four books. *pat pat*

I'll be there once I find a spot to park my car. Your huge post has everything anyone could want except hints on parking, on Saturday morning 9:45. Same thing with the TCAF site, last time I checked.

I will alert them.
I have no idea about parking in that area. There was a lot on Charles st (i think) last i checked, but it's been a while.

There's parking on-street on Charles, but the odds of getting a space are probably small. There's a parking lot on Charles, east of Bay, under the Manulife Centre, but i believe it's pricey - i only use it when seeing a movie at the Varsity Cinemas, because you get a discount. There's underground parking on Cumberland in the heart of Yorkville (between Yonge & Avenue). There are Green P parking garages on Charles just east of Yonge, and on Cumberland just east of Bay. I find the last one is cheapest (not sure why two Green P garages so close have different rates, but they do).

Isn't homosexuality originally a comic-book concept anyway?

I'll see you there.

I'm on the same panels as you! My first gay panel... usually I'm on the girl panel.

This makes me wish I lived in Canada :(

Although New Hampshire is pretty close I guess.

Please come to a Con near me soon.

What sort of questions usually get asked at the gays in comics panel?

I can't say I've ever been to one. Since, you know, I'm not one. I guess I'll soon find out!

They probably sold it on ebay to pay for kittens to devour.
