It’s all happening at the CXC on September 27 through October 1, 2023.

Comic book writers and artists, editorial cartoonists, comic strip creators, small and large press…

The Cartoon Crossroads Columbus, “a comics, art & animation festival,” begins next week in Columbus, Ohio and, as always, in association with The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, also in Columbus.

On the other side of the world it is Spring not Autumn, but the months remain the same…

“The world’s oldest cartooning organisation” The Australian Cartoonists Association will be holding their annual Stanley Conference and Awards meeting and dinner on October 28 and 29, 2023 at Melbourne.
