This weekend’s Toronto Comic Arts Festival was a comic lovefest for all. I had a great time hanging out at the OWL table with my Max Finder partner in ‘you-solve-it’ crime, Michael Cho and the sketch-happy Brian McLachlan, writer for OWL’s successful Alex & Charlie comic and a damn fine illustrator himself.
And while there is often not a lot for a non-drawing writer to do at a comic’s fest, it was great to get out from behind the computer, soak up the atmosphere and meet Max Finder fans of all ages. There were also many teachers at the festival, continuing to prove that they are tuning into the educational value of comics [as I’ve noted earlier].
Hopefully, I’ll soon have some photos to put up, so you can see the magic that is a comics festival.
And speaking of comics, I’ve got a new mystery to write and a deadline to meet!
