This past weekend was the annual Museum of #Comic & #Cartoon #Art Festival, or #mocca #moccafest #moccafest2023 (something of a misnomer since The Society of Illustrators acquired it some years back & now no longer exists as a distinct museum). Sat I went w/my dear friend Baz & met up w/friend of >20 years James O. Smith III. Predictably I spent far more than was advisable, the causes of which you can see below, but I don't regret a single purchase; indeed, I wish I could have bought even more.

Great time at #moccafest2023 today! Did a live panel/#podcast w/#NoahVanSciver (pic 1), and got to see a bazillion people over in the exhibit area, incl. #ChipKidd #KevinSacco #NathanFox! Had a TON of great conversations & catch-ups, but only remembered to take pix w/a couple people.
