Graphic Novel Reporter has a pretty comprehensive list of what's going on at the librarian's annual con this weekend. Courtesy of Top Shelf, I'll be able to stop into the exhibit floor, and will try to have a report on Sunday.

June 26: New, Improved! Graphic Content, now with additional cartoonists
Wires got crossed, and Ben Classen got left off the announcement, but regular readers of the Express (he does spot illos) and the City Paper (he does Dirtfarm and all kinds of stuff) can now ask about Fappy the Seal's true role in humor. And Matt "Trickster" Dembicki has said on Facebook that he'll be attending in the audience.
I'll be moderating this, and Shannon "G.I. Joe" Gallant, Matt "Politico" Wuerker, Andrew "Trickster" Cohen, Evan "DC Conspiracy" Keeling and Ben "Dirtfarm" Classen will be speaking on creating comics.

OT: Beyond the... Comics
Some papers are experimenting this week with a syndicated animated cartoon - Beyond the... Comics including the Tri-City Herald. I haven't had a chance to watch them yet, but I don't see why this syndication model can't work.
There's not much on the Herald site - just these two sentences -
Comics: Something old, something new
By Ken Robertson, Herald Executive Editor

They’re appearing for one week only on the Herald website and the websites of the San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Idaho Statesman, Monterey Herald, Houston Chronicle and SeattlePI.com.
