At MoCCA Fest in April, I picked up two of New Yorker cartoonist Tim Hamilton's Rabbit Who Fights anthologies, nos. 3 and 4, and had him sign them. I also grabbed a couple of illustrated stickers and a couple of business cards too. This was twelve dollars well spent, and provided a good exposure to the artist's variety of styles.

In 2017, the versatile R. Sikoryak worked the voluminous iTunes terms and conditions into a graphic novel populated by many recognizable, if somewhat scruffy, comic characters. Having agreed to such terms and conditions myself over the years in various versions, I thought it might finally be time to read them. The author was at MoCCA Fest last weekend, making it the ideal opportunity to pick up a signed—and bearded—copy.

As I walked into the MoCCA Arts Fest on Saturday, Derf Backderf was the first artist I encountered. There was no way I wast going to miss the opportunity to get a signed copy of his Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio (2020). And just look at the original drawing he added! This is one of those books I would very likely have picked up in 2020 or 2021 at MoCCA Fest if the even hadn't been canceled owing to the pandemic. Now all of us clearly had some catching up to do.
