CAPS (Comic Arts Professional Society) held its “After-Comic Con” potluck last night, enjoying food (plenty of chicken was available) and conversation. With sundry other treats – such as Sergio giving out copies of the first issue of his “Funnies” magazine, and Alfred E. Newman MAD cardboard masks.
As you can see, we’re just a truly wild bunch here.
After we’d dined, there was discussion of how things went for members at the San Diego Comic Con this year. There was a bit of dissatisfaction with recent changes in the con experience. But Sergio reminded members that the convention ought to be treated as a business occasion, contacting publishers, looking for possible business contacts for expanding the audience for creators’ characters.
The discussion moved on to changes in the business, and what the increase in the digital market may mean. It became a more general and free-ranging discussion.
Over all – a pleasant night out, with food for body and thought.
