Heya! I’m pretty excited about my next trip to Japan, as I’ll be bringing along a collective of cartoonists and publishers as part of the work I’m doing with TCAF (The Toronto Comic Arts Festival).<\/p>\n

I know I’d mentioned it a few times before, but now that the events are public I thought it warranted a blog post. Here are the quick-and-dirty details, but you can find all of the info and links and graphics and author biographies at http:\/\/torontocomics.com\/news\/tcaf-japan-2012-exhibition-details\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re reading this and you will be in the Tokyo area, I hope you’ll come say hi!<\/p>\n

Oh, I’d like to thank the Canada Council for the Arts for supporting my trip.<\/p>\n

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, which last year invested $154 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country.
