First, the class of 2008 graduated up at the <a href="http://www.cartoonstudies.org/">Center for Cartoon Studies</a>. Alison Bechdel was our commencement speaker. I haven't uploaded photos yet, but Joe has a few <a href="http://submarinesubmarine.blogspot.com/2008/05/center-for-cartoon-studies-graduation.html">here</a>, and I stole the above image of my thesis display from <a href="http://chuckmcbuck.com/">Chuck</a>.<br /><br />Since then, we've all been making moving arrangements, looking for jobs and putting together Sundays 2, which should be a hell of a book. Check out the updated blog <a href="http://sundaysanthology.com/">here</a>. Below is the cover, a beautiful screen print drawn by Joe Lambert and pulled by Alex Kim. You really have to see it in person, which I hope you do at MoCCA this weekend. We'll be in the Skylight Ballroom at table S53 - you have to take the elevator, but it's worth the trip. I swear.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/67015003@N00/2545927070/" title="cover-72 by crzymdups, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3278/2545927070_0ab7374559_o.jpg" width="420" height="360" alt="cover-72" /></a><br /><br />Also, I'll have Only Skin 3 with me, as well as the first two issues. Rob Clough over at Sequart.org reviewed OS3 <a href="http://www.sequart.org/columns/index.php?col=9&column=2145">here</a>, in case you forgot about it - he also gave Chuck's Snake Oil a great review, too.<br /><br />Well, I guess that's it - I'll be hoping to see folks at MoCCA. The coolest event of the show will definitely be the Friday night book release party for pal <a href="http://www.samgascan.blogspot.com/">Sam Gaskin's</a> Fatal Faux Pas, Eamon Espey's Wormdye, Chris Wright's Inkweed and a new issue of Austin English's Windy Corner Magazine at <a href="http://thedailycrosshatch.com/2008/03/10/comic-shop-focus-desert-island-brooklyn-ny/">Desert Island Comics</a> in Williamsburg, a new store that's supposed to be awesome. The party will also be the first time <a href="http://www.secretacres.com/">Secret Acres</a> comes out to play - they are publishing Sam and Eamon's books.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/moccapartymed.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.sparkplugcomicbooks.com/moccapartymed.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Ok, come out to <a href="http://moccany.org/artfest-main.html">MoCCA</a> and table S53 in the Skylight Ballroom.Sean Fordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14620335076166395970noreply@blogger.com
