Guys, theVancouver Comic Arts Festival is only a bit over a week away! VanCAF is actually being organized by my wife, Shannon, who was sick and tired of hearing me and my comics friends grouse about how there wasn’t a TCAF-styled free-to-attend comics festival in Vancouver. Fortunately for us all, she really stepped up to the plate, securing a really neat venue and filling it with an awesome slew of cartoonist exhibitors and guests, including:  Questionable Content’s Jeph JacquesDr. McNinja’s Chris HastingsTanpopo’s Camilla d’ErricoA Softer World’s Joey Comeau and Emily Horne Wondermark’s David MalkiBoxerhockey’s Tyson HesseThe Simpson’s Comic’s Nina MatsumodoDalen and Gole’s Mike DeasTop Shelf Comics CloudscapeTiny Kitten Teeth’s Frank Gibson and Becky DreistadtWasted Talent’s Angela MelickTangles’ Sarah LeavittThe Village’s Ken BoesemWeregeek’s Alina PeteMurderbook’s Ed BrissonFilibuster’s J.J. McCulloughFamily Man/Bite Me’s Dylan MeconisThree Word Phrase’s Ryan Pequin…and a ton of other talented old hands and new creators. (Oh, uh, and me too!) Check out the full list right here. VanCAF is a non-profit show, and we don’t have a huge marketing budget, but I think with our awesome guest list and word of mouth we can make this thing a big success… so anything you can help do to spread the word would be super appreciated, be it tweeting, reblogging, sharing, or just shouting a lot! And if you’re coming, RSVP on Facebook to let us know! This thing is going to be awesome.
