It features profiles of all kinds of great stuff about the festival, and is remarkably in depth (and long!). More coverage promise to appear over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.torontocomics.com\/tcaf\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.comicsreporter.com\/images\/ads1\/tcaf2.gif\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a>Meanwhile, BlogTo.com printed a really nice little article on TCAF as well. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blogto.com\/arts\/2007\/08\/celebrating_torontos_comic_arts_talent\/\" target=\"_blank\">You can click here to read it<\/a><\/strong>. (I&#8217;ll try and include full-links when I can, but sometimes they&#8217;re too long and break the tables.)<\/p>\n<p>Toronto scene-mag MONDO also did a huge overview of the festival, which includes interviews with Joey Comeau, Danielle Corsetto, Jeff Lemire, Jim Zubkavich, and many more. You can find their profile at <a href=\"http:\/\/mondomagazine.net\/comics-arc-tcaf.html\"><strong>http:\/\/mondomagazine.net\/comics-arc-tcaf.html<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They also did a comics-format interview with Bryan Lee O&#8217;Malley, which is to say the interview is, itself, a comic. You can see that at <a href=\"http:\/\/mondomagazine.net\/comics-c-i-mal.html\"><strong>http:\/\/mondomagazine.net\/comics-c-i-mal.html<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Queer freebie magazine XTRA also did a huge feature article on TCAF, and me, and cartoonists Jose Villarrubia and Steve MacIsaac. I say lots of inflamitory things in it, which might even be good for web-fodder. You can check it out at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xtra.ca\/public\/viewstory.aspx?AFF_TYPE=3&#038;STORY_ID=3451&#038;PUB_TEMPLATE_ID=3\"><strong>http:\/\/www.xtra.ca\/public\/viewstory.aspx?AFF_TYPE=3&#038;STORY_ID=3451&#038;PUB_TEMPLATE_ID=3<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of me, Tom Spurgeon interviewed me over at The Comics Reporter this week. I think it turned out pretty well? Although I&#8217;ve received litterally no e-mail on it. Maybe I edited out all the good parts after all? Anyway, if you like, you can <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicsreporter.com\/index.php\/cr_newsmaker_interview_toronto_comic_arts_festival_co_founder_chris_butcher\/\" target=\"_blank\">read it here<\/a><\/strong>. (Sorry, it&#8217;s a really long link).<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in Toronto, Toronto Life magazine included TCAF in it&#8217;s city guide for events this weekend at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torontolife.com\/guide\/arts-and-entertainment\/diversions\/toronto-comic-arts-festival\/\"><strong>http:\/\/www.torontolife.com\/guide\/arts-and-entertainment\/diversions\/toronto-comic-arts-festival\/<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> and The Globe and Mail mentioned it in their Toronto &#8220;7&#8221; feature today, and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/servlet\/story\/LAC.20070816.LISTINGS16\/TPStory\/?query=comics\">you can click here to read it<\/a><\/strong>. (Another long link.)<\/p>\n<p>In addition there&#8217;s been website links, blurbs, and advertisements across countless news websites and personal creator sites. Thanks to everyone there who said nice things or sent people our way.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;! Coverage in three of the four dailies, all of the free weeklies, across the net and lots of targeted stuff. I think we&#8217;ve done everything we can to get people out to the event this weekend short of physically dragging them. I&#8217;m not ruling out physically dragging people to the event.<\/p>\n<p>Hope we can see you there!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Christopher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there guys, I&#8217;m ridiculously busy at the moment but I wanted to take a second and recognize all the great media that TCAF got this year.
